We provide free transportation to hotels near Waikiki and Ala Moana. For hotels outside of the city, we will provide transportation for an additional fee.

The waves in Hawaii are very easy to ride and we use large, stable boards so there is a 99% chance you'll be able to stand up!

The trip from the hotel to the hotel takes approximately 2.5 hours.

Please bring a bath towel, swimsuit, rash guard or tupperware, sunscreen, drinking water, and cash or credit card for payment. Please keep your swimsuit on as there are no changing rooms. Please bring a large bath towel so that you can lay it on the seat as you will be wearing your swimsuit on the way back.

Valuables can be left in the locked car. However, it is better not to bring more valuables than necessary. Please do not bring your passport under any circumstances. There is a risk of car break-ins, so please do so at your own risk.

The surfing time in the ocean is about 90 minutes.

If you have one, please bring it with you. If you don't have one, we will lend it to you (free of charge).

Children over 6 years old who are not afraid of water and can swim a little can participate. Children under 12 years old are only accepted for private lessons.

If you are in good health, you can participate up to around age 70. We recommend private lessons so you can go at your own pace.

If you can swim a few meters, you can participate without any problems. If you can't swim at all, don't worry, we will provide surfing lessons in shallow water where you can reach the water by foot. If you can't swim at all, we recommend that you apply for a private lesson.

The instructor will take a commemorative photo with a camera. If the conditions are right, you can also take a photo of yourself riding the waves. The images will be sent to you by email. All free of charge.

Video recording is an additional option and costs $40. Video files will be sent to you via email.

The only instructor at our school is our Japanese owner, MAKOTO. Please rest assured that MAKOTO will be in charge.

The temperature is a little lower than in summer, so depending on the weather and wind, it can be chilly. On cold days, we provide wetsuits for the upper body called "Tuppa" so you can surf comfortably.

Since lessons are not conducted with other customers, if you are attending alone, please sign up for a private lesson.

If there is availability, you can make a reservation at the last minute, but since it is often not possible to get a reservation, we recommend making a reservation in advance.

Reservations are accepted from 7am.

Depending on your level, you may be joined by a surf guide, but we also offer advanced lessons.

If you are new to surfing, you can take lessons, or if you are experienced, come as a chaperone and surf nearby. Rental boards are also available.

If you are using a shortboard, please use a surf guide. We will be happy to help you with choosing waves and riding advice.

Hawaii has constant trade winds, so the waves are generally stable from morning to evening. However, if you want to increase your chances of encountering good waves, we recommend the morning hours.

You can relax on the beach. However, depending on the weather, it may be too hot, so please be careful if you are elderly. Please bring a hat or parasol.

There are no changing rooms at the beach, so you will go home without changing clothes. Please bring your own bath towel and lay it on the seat of the car to return to the hotel. It takes about 10 minutes from the beach to the hotel.

Surfing is a rain or shine sport, so we will continue in light rain, but storms and lightning are very dangerous, so the instructor will postpone or cancel the activity. In the case of cancellation, we will give you a full refund.

Some products may be available for order. In particular, Al Merrick surfboards can be ordered from our stock in California.

Clips is an authorized dealer of the brands we handle, and all products are sourced directly from the brand manufacturers.

There are also counterfeit Al Merrick boards on the Internet, so we recommend that you always check the Al Merrick headquarters page to make sure that you are an authorized dealer before purchasing.

Our website has an online shopping function, so most of our products can be purchased from Japan. You can also place orders by phone or email, and order surfboards from Japan. Since we sell directly from overseas, many of our products are priced more affordably than in Japan.
