About this camp
The most explicitly priced of the Haleʻiwa schools, with a four-step ladder from a large group through small group, semi-private and one-to-one, each with its own per-person figure in dollars — so the cost of teaching intensity is visible rather than quoted. It is also the only one of the three publishing an actual instructor ratio, three students to one instructor in the small-group format. Which beach you meet at is decided by the day's conditions rather than fixed in advance, typically Chun's Reef or Puaʻena Point Beach Park; in the December-to-February window that in practice means Puaʻena, the sheltered cove that stays teachable while the outer North Shore reefs are closed out to everyone but professionals. The school offers a stand-up-or-refund guarantee, which is a marketing promise rather than a verified fact and is repeated here as theirs, not ours. Honest caveats: lessons only, no accommodation, nothing sold by the week. Its street address did not resolve in OpenStreetMap, so the pin is the Haleʻiwa village centroid rather than the office — the meeting point is a beach in any case. Recency is evidenced by a 2026 copyright and photographs uploaded in 2026, plus a live booking system.
