Hans Hedemann Surf Waikiki is perfectly located on the end of Waikiki, across the Kapiolani Park and Honolulu zoo.  This is where Hawaiian Monarchs used to surf, and it's easy to see why.  This is one of the best places in the world to learn to surf because the waves are gentle and rolling.  The nice long rides create a perfect spot for beginner surfers.

It starts with a 20-minute land lesson where students learn proper water safety and etiquette, paddling technique, turning the surfboard, maneuvering over waves and positioning to stand up and ride your first wave.
