Quick answers
Private group questions
How many people can join a private group surf lesson?
Two to eight surfers — count only the people entering the water. For nine or more, contact SFC first so the crew can staff and quote it properly.
Do we all need the same skill level?
No — instructors pace each surfer separately inside the group, so a nervous parent and a fearless kid can share the same lesson comfortably.
How much is a private group lesson per person?
A hundred thirty-five dollars per person for sixty minutes or a hundred sixty for ninety — every surfer gets a board, leash and rash guard, and checkout shows the live total.
Can families book a private group?
Yes. Families can reserve the private-group format for two to eight surfers. Discuss children’s ages and swimming comfort with SFC before choosing a session.
Does anyone else join our private lesson?
Students outside your booking do not join your class. Waikiki’s ocean and surf breaks remain shared with other water users.
