Our Story
Pro Surf School Hawaii was founded with one mission: to share the joy of surfing on the waves where Hawaiian surf culture was born.
Located at Kaimana Beach Hotel in Waikiki, our surf school offers a safe, welcoming, and authentic experience for surfers of all ages and skill levels.
We are a locally owned and operated business with deep roots in the Waikiki community. Our team is passionate about teaching, ocean safety, and sharing the stoke of riding your first (or your hundredth) wave.
