Learn to surf on Kauai with Charlie Smith, a professional surfer and coach who has been teaching vacationers since the 1990s. Join a shared lesson with an emphasis on helping you feel safe in the water.
The most important thing about surfing is the proper way to stand on the surfboard. Charlie first teaches his surf students this skill with the surfboards safely laid out on the beach. Then it's time to put that lesson to practice in the surf. Charlie will guide the small group of students to where the waves break, let you know when to paddle, catch the wave, and stand up to ride the wave.
