Ty Gurney Surf School is a Waikīkī-based surf and stand-up paddleboarding school offering lessons, rentals, and guided surf safaris across Oʻahu. The school provides beginner-friendly surf lessons, semi-private and private SUP and surf instruction, surfboard and SUP rentals, a Romantic Sunset Surf Package, and customizable half-day and full-day Surf Safari tours to the North Shore and East Side.
Experienced instructors deliver on-water teaching, tailored coaching, and safety guidance for all ages and skill levels. Lessons and safaris include essential equipment when noted—boards, paddles, fins, leashes, and optional rash guards—so guests arrive ready to enjoy the ocean. Semi-private formats limit student-to-instructor ratios for focused attention, while private lessons offer one-on-one instruction and progression at individual pace.
Surf Safari tours combine guided surfing with optional snorkeling, hiking, scenic drives, and photographic add-ons; many safaris include hotel pick-up for convenience. Surfboard and SUP rentals feature 12′ SUPs with full deck pads and a range of surfboard sizes and types, accommodating beginners through intermediate riders.
Safety and positive experiences are central: instructors emphasize technique, environmental awareness, and comfortable progression. The school operates from Waikīkī, providing easy access to calm beginner waves and iconic views such as Diamond Head. Guests seeking surf instruction, stand-up paddleboarding, guided island tours, or reliable equipment rental can find tailored options and clear what-to-bring guidance. Ty Gurney Surf School focuses on accessible ocean experiences, local knowledge, and memorable time on the water. Flexible booking options accommodate individual lessons, semi-private sessions, rentals, and full- or half-day surf safaris for travel schedules.
