Although the West Side of Oahu is a road less traveled, it offers some of the most amazing beaches and landscapes on Oahu. The beaches are perfect for both beginner and intermediate surfers as they are less crowded than the popular surfing beaches. On the West Side you can learn the basics of surfing or stand up paddle boarding in the best ocean conditions. Here are a few surfing and stand up paddle board (SUP) schools we think are the best on the West Side.
Here are our top recommended surfing schools and stand-up paddle board (SUP) schools on Oahu’s West Side.
