I was the only Japanese person, but the lecture was in video format with Japanese subtitles, so there were no issues. When I actually went to the beach, there was someone who spoke Japanese and was very kind to me. This was my third surfing experience in Hawaii, and it was the most helpful instruction I received.
日本人は私1人でしたが、レクチャーはビデオで日本語字幕もあり問題なしでした。実際にビーチに行くと日本語の話せる方がいて丁寧に付き合って頂きました。ハワイで3回目のサーフィン体験でしたが一番親切に教えて頂きました。

I started looking for SUP lessons because my mother said she wanted to try it. We decided on a one-hour lesson in Waikiki, which had no age restrictions and offered several time slots.
A Japanese-speaking instructor provided thorough explanations, and we had one instructor for the two of us as we entered the water. They gave us instructions at our own pace, and even though it was my first time, I was able to stand and paddle.
They also pointed out that turtles were swimming nearby, and we got to see them up close!
Even as beginners, it was a safe and enjoyable experience, and my mother said she wanted to participate again.
母がSUPやってみたいと言ったことがきっかけで探しました。そして、レッスン1時間、ワイキキ、年齢制限なし、時間帯がいくつか選べることが魅力で決めました。
日本語ができる方が丁寧に説明してくれて、私たち2名に対して1名の講師がついて海に入りました。
日本語交えて自分たちのペースに合わせて指示をくださり、私も初めてでしたが立って進むことが出来ました。
近くを亀が泳いでいることも教えてくださり、間近で見ることができました!
初めてでも安心安全で、母がまた参加したいと言うほどとても楽しい時間でした。

Everything is in English, but the instructions for filling out the agreement and how to use the lockers are clearly posted on the counter. The agreement can be accessed via a QR code on the web. I don't remember if there was Japanese, but you can manage with the translation feature in various browsers.
The instructor speaks only English, but they make an effort to communicate effectively.
During the surfing experience, the instructor will guide you on when to catch the waves, and if you trust their timing, you'll find it surprisingly easy to stand up.
Regarding the standing pose, if you pay an additional $65 on-site, there will be drone footage taken, which will be sent to you after the experience. It was a worthwhile investment for my future surfing progress and as a memorable video.
全て英語でますが、規約書記入やロッカーの預け方はカウンターの上に記載がありわかりやすです。

サーフィン体験中は、波に乗るタイミングをインストラクターの人が指示してくれるので信じて乗れば意外と簡単に立てます。

I tried surfing for the first time this time. I'm almost 50 years old and usually don't exercise much, so I was worried, but I chose a group lesson. First, we watched a video with various precautions at the shop. Then we walked to the beach, where I practiced the basic movements repeatedly with the instructor, Mr. Yamazaki. During about an hour, I was able to ride the waves 7 to 8 times while learning the tips and timing for paddling. At first, my waist was too high, and I couldn't ride the waves for long, but I received advice to stand up slowly without rushing, which allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. I requested a drone video and photos during check-in (for $65 plus tax), and I was quite satisfied with the content, which was also well-received by my family.
今回初めてサーフィンにチャレンジしてみました。もうすぐ50歳で普段は運動不足気味なので心配でしたが、グループレッスンを選択。最初にショップで諸注意を含めたビデオを鑑賞。続いてビーチに徒歩で移動して、インストラクターのYamazakiさんと繰り返し基本動作を練習し、パドリングのコツやタイミングを教えてもらいながら約1時間の間に7〜8回波に乗れました。最初腰の位置が高くなり過ぎて、波に長く乗れずでしたが、焦らずゆっくり立ち上がるようにアドバイスをもらい、じっくり楽しめました。チェックインの際にドローン撮影ビデオ・写真(65ドルプラス税)を依頼しましたが、かなり満足できる内容で、家族にも好評でした。

Due to high waves on the day, we were advised to switch to surfing, and although I was a bit anxious, I went ahead with the change. The staff, who spoke a little Japanese, kindly taught us, and we were able to get on the board quickly. My wife was with me, and she also got the hang of it right away, so we both had a lot of fun.
The one-hour session flew by, but it was just the right amount of physical activity. I was sore the next day. (laughs)
We borrowed the designated rash guards from the shop. We packed our belongings into one backpack for the two of us. They provided towels for us.

If you arrive exactly on time for the meeting (10:30 AM for an 11:00 AM start), you will end up waiting for a full 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the explanation during the pre-monitoring was difficult to understand. However, we do some practice on the sandy beach, and the instructor provides support while we're on the water.
During my first attempt, I couldn't catch any waves and felt a bit down, but on the second try, the instructor taught me the tips again, and after that, I was able to enjoy it a lot. Most of the other participants were also first-timers, but everyone managed to ride the waves. Before starting, they ask if you want the photo option for $65, and I think not ordering this was a mistake (I believe they were taking photos with a drone).
集合時間(11時開始の場合10時30分)にきっちり間に合うと30分しっかり待つことになります。

1回目は波に乗れずにまさに撃沈で若干凹んでしまいましたが、2回目はインストラクターが再度コツを教えてくれたので、その後はとても楽しむことができました。

I would like to try again when I go to Hawaii. The water was clear, the sky was blue, and we had the best time.

The pre-experience explanatory video had Japanese subtitles, and the instructors spoke Japanese, so it was not a problem if you are not fluent in English! The practical instructions were clear, and I was able to get on the board right away. There were three of us participating, but since there were two instructors, they provided guidance tailored to each participant's level, allowing us to have a meaningful experience. For those who were capable, they encouraged us to try new things, like riding the waves alongside the instructors or going out to where the big waves were. For those who were less experienced, they offered experiences in areas with moderate waves, and if someone wanted to try the big waves, they made it possible!
体験前の事前説明動画は日本語字幕があり、インストラクターの方も日本語が話せる方だったので英語が上手でなくても問題ないです!
実践もわかりやすく説明してくださり、すぐにボードに乗ることができました。3人での体験となりましたが、インストラクターの方が2名いたので体験者のレベルに合わせてインストラクターの方が指示してくれ、有意義な時間が過ごせました。出来る人にはどんどん新しいことも体験させてくれ、インストラクターの方と一緒に(隣に並んで)波に乗ったり、大きな波がある沖にいったりもしました。不慣れな人には中くらいの波のところで体験や、本人が大きな波にトライしたかったら、体験させてくれたりと、、!!

I had a private lesson at a different surf school once before, but the group lessons here are much more relaxed in terms of atmosphere and price, and I really like it! All the instructors are friendly, and we can enjoy chatting about surfing as well as various things about Hawaii! Depending on the day, there are instructors who can speak Japanese, and the flow of the lesson and important notes are explained in Japanese, which is reassuring.

I was thrilled to be able to do SUP for the first time in my dream destination, Waikiki. The location was excellent, and it was just a short walk from the neighboring Sheraton.
My family and I had a private lesson for two, and we started by learning how to stand and paddle easily on land before heading straight to the ocean. We practiced standing up and paddling alternately.
Since we didn't wear life vests, it was surprisingly tough to swim back up every time we fell in. After a few tries, we were able to stand up, and the instructor ended up paddling off on his own. (laughs)
In the end, it was a 60-minute lesson, but I reached my physical limit after about 45 minutes and ended up sitting on the board, drifting with the waves.
憧れのワイキキで初めてのSUPができて感激でした。とにかく立地がよく、となりのシェラトンからも歩いてすぐなのがよかったです。
家族と2名でプライベートレッスンでしたが、最初は陸で簡単に立ち方や漕ぎ方を習い、すぐに海へ。
2人交互に立ち上がり漕ぐ練習をします。
ライフベストは着用しないので、落水する度に泳いで這い上がるのが意外としんどく、何度かそれぞれ立てるようになるとインストラクターの方も勝手にスイスイ漕いでどっか行ってしまいました。笑
結局60分のレッスンでしたが45分くらいで体力は限界に。板に座って波を漂ってました。
Thank you for the 4-star review, Kunio. The life vest can be cumbersome while paddling and makes it even more difficult to climb back onto the board from the water. Sitting on the board and paddling through the waves is also great practice. We look forward to your next visit.

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.
I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.
There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.
The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.
However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.
Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.

先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい!という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。
ただ、かなり日焼けします!

As a 50-year-old man, I unfortunately couldn't surf due to back pain. My two sons, a college student and a high school student, participated in a group lesson. The college student had only tried surfing once about six years ago, while this was the high school student's third experience.
First, they showed a video in the shop and explained the basics before heading to the beach, which was educational and great! Once we got to the beach, they taught us how to stand on the board and we quickly went into the sea!
As we paddled out, the instructor suddenly pushed the board towards the shore and shouted, "Paddle!" and just like that, we were surfing! Wow! I managed to stand up and rode for over 100 meters from the open sea to the shore.
After that, my sons and another participant took turns catching waves, and everyone was able to ride for a long time! However, I later heard that because the rides were long, paddling back to shore multiple times was really tough for them!
I had also requested drone footage, so they took over 150 photos and 11 videos of the two of them. The drone video was high resolution and very beautiful. It was a bit expensive, but I was satisfied.
Next time we come, I hope to receive a higher level of instruction!

浜に出るとボードを使って立ち方を教えてくれてすぐに海へ!

あら!立てた!いきなり沖から岸まで100m以上乗れました。
その後も他の参加者一人と息子達の3人で次々に波に乗り、皆、ながーく乗れました!
しかし後で聞いたら一回の乗れる距離が長いので、岸から沖まで何回もパドリングで戻るのがとても辛かったと!

We participated as a couple in our fifties.
It was our first time surfing, and I was worried because the instructions were in English.
There were two instructors for our group of six.
They were very attentive and made sure that I, the least skilled among us, wasn't left behind by frequently checking on me.
I am truly grateful for that.
During the two-hour session, I was able to ride three times.
I’m happy to have had the experience of surfing in the waters of Hawaii.
As for the drone, it cost $75 for two people.
At the same time, there was a group of eight doing SUP, and they also requested the drone.
The drone filmed both surfing and SUP with one unit.
The data we received included footage and photos of the SUP participants as well.
(I believe it was all the data captured during that time.)
This means that our footage and photos were also shared with the SUP group, which honestly bothered me.
Additionally, since surfing and SUP were conducted in slightly different locations, I think there was inevitably less footage and photos of us.
I noticed that there were more images and videos from the SUP group since their data was included as well. (Of course, the number of participants plays a role in this.)
Surfing itself was a lot of fun, and I was sore not just the next day but from that very day, but it was truly enjoyable.
When you come to Hawaii, I think engaging in activities that are characteristic of Hawaii is a great idea!

First, we watched a video on how to ride inside the store, then walked a few minutes to the beach, where we received a lecture on how to ride on the sandy shore. There were five participants and two male instructors (English speakers) who assisted us. Each of us took turns riding the waves and surfing. The conditions were not great, as it was cloudy with light rain, but I was able to catch some waves. They also filmed videos with a drone. I struggled with paddling and couldn't move forward well, so the instructor hooked his foot on my board and helped me get to the point. When I couldn't stand on the board, they provided advice and taught me enthusiastically.
There are lockers with locks for your belongings. They also lend out rash guards. There was a Japanese male staff member who talked with us about various things (it seems he is in charge of the morning lessons). Both the instructors and the store staff were friendly, and I made some wonderful memories.
午後1人で参加しました。アメリカ本土やドイツなど1人で参加されている人もいて、和気あいあいなレッスンでした。店内でまず乗り方の映像をみて、数分歩いて海岸へ行き、砂浜で乗り方のレクチャーを受けます。5人参加でインストラクター男性2名(英語話者)ついてくれました。1人1人順番に波に乗せてくれ、サーフィンをしました。曇りで小雨のあまりよくないコンディションでしたが、波に乗れました。ドローンで動画撮影もしてくれます。わたしはpaddlingがうまくできなくてなかなか前へすすまず、インストラクターがわたしのボードに足をひっかけてポイントへ連れていってくれました。ボードに立てない時はアドバイスをくれるなど熱心に教えてくれます。
荷物は鍵がかかるロッカーがあります。ラッシュガードも貸してくれます。
日本人の男性スタッフの方もいて、いろいろお話してくださいました(レッスンは午前担当らしいです)。インストラクターの方もお店のスタッフもフレンドリーで楽しい思い出ができました。

It was my first time surfing, but the instructor was skilled, and I was able to succeed right away. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, including Yamazaki, which was very helpful.
初めのサーフィンでしたが、インストラクターの肩が上手で、すぐに成功することができました。ヤマザキをはじめとして日本語が話せるスタッフもいて、とても助かりました。ふらんすあ、ふらんすあ。

I signed up for a plan with my family for 5 people. Since it was my first time trying SUP, I booked a private lesson. In the first 5 to 10 minutes, we received explanations on how to hold the paddle, how to get on the board, and how to stand, and then we headed to the sea. After that, it felt like we were practicing on our own.
On the day, the wind was strong, making it difficult for beginners to stand and paddle. While sitting on the board, the instructor helped us ride the waves, and even though we struggled, we managed to have fun. However, I didn't feel like I received much of a lesson.
Also, I thought the photos were quite expensive. It was $30 per person, totaling $150 for 5 people, with each person getting about 10 photos (including similar ones).
5名参加プランに家族で申込しました
SUPは初めてだったので、プライベートレッスンを申し込みましたが、最初の5〜10分程でパドルの持ち方、ボードの乗り方、立ち方の説明を受け、海へ
その後は、各自実践という感じで‥
当日は風も強くて、初心者には立ってパドルを漕ぐのは難しかったです
ボードに座った状態で、インストラクターさんが波に乗せてくたりして、できないなりに楽しく過ごせましたが、レッスンを受けた感じはないかな
あとは、やはり写真が高いかなぁと思いました
1人30ドル、5人で150ドルでした
1人だいたい10枚(同じような写真を含めて)

My spouse and I tried surfing for the first time together. Initially, we just hoped to be able to stand up by the end of the lesson, but surprisingly, I managed to stand up on my first attempt. After repeating it several times, I was even able to strike a pose while standing by the end. Thanks to the cheerful and kind staff, we enjoyed this quick activity immensely.
It was also fun to communicate with participants from various countries while surfing (even if you can't speak English, it's fine to go with the flow; they will cheer you on if you catch a wave well). Additionally, there’s an option to have the day's activities filmed (with drone footage and photos), which I highly recommend for taking home memories.
You can store your belongings in lockers, so it's convenient during your travels. I participated right after climbing Diamond Head early in the morning, and it was no problem at all. The area around the surfing lesson has shallow waters with some rocks, so it might be good to have band-aids and disinfectant just in case.
夫婦揃って初めてのサーフィンに挑戦しました。
当初は、レッスンの最後までに立ち上がれるようになればいいくらいの気持ちで参加しましたが、なんと1回目で立ち上がることに成功。
その後も何度も繰り返して、最後の方には立ち上がってポーズを決めることができるまでになりました。
明るく親切なスタッフの皆さんのおかげで、あっという間のアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
色々な国の方が参加されているので、その人たちともコミュニケーションを取りながらサーフィンをすることができるのも楽しかったです。(英語はできなくてもその場のノリで大丈夫。上手く波にのることができたら褒めてくれます。)
また、オプションで当日の模様を撮影してもらうことが出来る(ドローンを用いた映像と写真)ので、思い出に持ち帰ることもおすすめです。
ロッカーに荷物を預けることができるので、旅の途中にもOK。早朝ダイヤモンドヘッド登頂からそのまま参加しましたが、問題なしです。
サーフィンレッスン付近は浅瀬で所々岩があるので、万一に備えてバンドエイドや消毒液があるとなお良いかもしれません。

Experience SUP right in front of the Royal Hawaiian Beach! They lend you towels and can hold onto small bags, so you can easily join in during your free time. It was my first time on a SUP, but they taught me the basic movements and off I went into the ocean! Even when I fell, the water was surprisingly shallow, so I felt safe.
When I stood up, I had the best view of Diamond Head to my left while looking down at the waters of Waikiki! The tourists swimming around also offered encouragement and help, and the staff who took photos gave me advice, making it an hour that flew by.
ロイヤルハワイアンの目の前のビーチでSUP体験!タオルも貸してくれて小さい荷物も預かっていただけるので、空いている時間に気軽に参加出来ます。SUPは初めてでしたが、基本的な動きを教えてもらっていざ海へ!落ちても意外と浅くて足が付くレベルだったので安心でした。
立てた時は左にダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらワイキキの海を見下ろすという最高なシチュエーションです!まわりで泳いでいた観光客の方々も声をかけてくれたり助けてくれたり、写真を取ってくれるスタッフの方もアドバイスしてくれてあっという間の1時間でした。

The day after the Honolulu Marathon was free time. Since it depended on the weather and my physical condition, I made an online reservation on-site after the marathon. It was a busy time for travelers, and many spots were already booked, but I finally found an opening for a private lesson. The price was a bit high, but it couldn't be helped. It's great that they accept participants up to 80 years old.
The reception on the day was the worst. A Japanese female staff member was in charge, and while I felt relieved at first, her attitude was extremely cold. I was given a long T-shirt for kids to wear over my swimsuit, specifically a size S for children—about 5 or 6 years old! Even when I said it was impossible, she insisted that it would be sufficient for me. Is this bullying?
The people around me sympathized and suggested that I should get an exchange, and reluctantly, they brought out a proper size from a back room. I was the only Japanese person there, but having Japanese staff didn't guarantee comfort; in fact, I learned that I could be treated poorly.
As for surfing, I was able to stand on the board and ride the waves after just two or three tries. Getting up from a prone position to standing requires leg strength. It's definitely not something to do right after a full marathon.
ホノルルマラソン翌日のフリータイム。天気と体調次第なので、マラソン終了後、現地でネット申し込みしました。旅行者が多い時期でもあり、予約は結構埋まっていて、ようやくプライベートレッスンの空きを見つけました。金額割高だけど、仕方ない。80歳までokもありがたい。
当日の受付は最悪。日本人女性スタッフが采配していて、安心したのも束の間、めちゃくちゃ塩対応。水着の上にガードの長Tシャツを着るのだが、私に渡されたのは子供用Sサイズ。5、6歳くらいの!
無理、と言っても、あなたにはそれで充分と。これってイジメ?
周りの人も見かねて、交換してもらうべきと共鳴してくれて、渋々奥の部屋からまともなサイズのを取り出してきた。
日本人は私だけでしたが、日本人スタッフがいれば安心ということでは無いな。むしろ、ゴミのような扱いを受ける場合もあると知った。
サーフィン自体は、2,3回でボードに立って波に乗る事ができた。
腹這いから、瞬時にボードに立つので、脚力が必要。フルマラソン直後にやるものではないな。

Dear Early Bird: Thank you for sharing your 5-star rating and detailed feedback about your experience! Waikiki Bay is particularly calm in the winter, making it very suitable for stand-up lessons. It's great to hear that you were able to see turtles as well! We look forward to your next visit.
