Our combination of the very best island firefighter surf instructors, a pristine secluded beach with perfect rolling beginner waves and the use of state-of-the-art safety equipment has been our recipe for success.We take great pride in our crew who really know the meaning of teamwork and the value of a quality experience. We've received hundreds of testimonial letters and emails telling us that it was not just the surf lesson, but also the instructors and staff that made their experience so special. Our team is rooted in the values of the Fire Service which translates to "taking care of people", above everything else. Thank you for taking the time to check out Hawaiian Fire Surf School, providers of the best surf lesson on Oahu. When you are in Hawaii, let us teach you to surf and give you the experience of a lifetime. « less

The instructors were professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and super fun! We were a family of two adults over 40 and one 9 year old. We were all up surfing in the first half hour. Our child was surfing all over and her instructor was amazing. The beach location is great - the waves were super. We will definately go with them... More

The all-around best place to learn how to surf on Oahu. The instructions were clear, and the demonstrations were thoroughly explained. All of the equipment (provided) was top notice and in perfect working order. The location is ideal for first timers, perfect waves. There could not be a safer place than surrounded by Firefighters.

Hawaiian Fire was a great experience. They took us away from Waikiki to a great secluded beach location where there was a total of 12 people in our group with 5 instructors. It was great to get good tips for people who are just starting out and for people who want to get better. We highly recommend them to anyone.... More

This was our first surfing experience, and we knew that Hawaiian Fire was the one to go with after reading all the Trip Advisor reviews. Yes it is more expensive than other surf schools based on Waikiki beach, but it is more than worth it. The staff/student ratio is awesome - so many instructors! They are all obviously having a...

I actually went to Hawaiian Fire in March of 2010. My wife and I took a belated honeymoon. We loved Hawaiian Fire I had always wanted to go surfing and I selected HF based on the reviews here. The early morning pick up was great right near our hotel and we got to experience the crazy morning rush hour traffic... More
