SFC Surf School
The people and water behind SFC
Meet Scott “Uncle Savage” Minkler and the SFC crew teaching surf lessons from Ala Wai Boat Harbor on Waikiki’s South Shore.
Meet the people teaching your lesson
Scott “Uncle Savage” Minkler has spent about twenty years teaching surfing. He and the SFC crew introduce the board, the paddle and the pop-up before taking the lesson into Waikiki’s water. You can ask questions, describe previous experience and tell the instructor what feels unfamiliar.
Choose how you want to learn
Some guests want to meet other travelers in an open class. Others prefer one-on-one attention or a lesson reserved for their own family. SFC offers those choices alongside a three-day camp for more practice during a trip. Each option includes a board, leash and rash guard.
Find the crew at Ala Wai Harbor
SFC lessons meet at Ala Wai Boat Harbor, at 1651 Ala Moana Boulevard. Check the latest booking confirmation for arrival instructions and allow time to get ready. If you want to know more about the school before booking, read Scott’s story, browse the lesson gallery or contact the crew directly.
