Then you paddle out — and your instructor stays close, wave after wave, reading the ocean for you and calling you into the right ones. It works, and Scott stands behind it with a simple owner-backed promise for first-time surfers: stand up on your first lesson, or it's free. Meet the SFC team FAQs Meet Lilikoi The SFC surf dog Yes, the dog surfs. Lilikoi rides the same gentle south-shore waves where SFC teaches. Keep the sound on and watch the local crew member guests remember first. See the gallery Meet SFC Meet the owner Meet Uncle Savage. Uncle Savage, a.k.a. Scott, leads SFC with decades in the water and the kind of first-lesson coaching that starts simple: where your hands go, when to paddle and which wave is yours. That is the difference guests feel. The lesson is not only a booking slot; it is Scott and the SFC crew watching conditions, keeping the group calm and calling out the small cues that make the first ride possible. Meet Uncle Savage Read reviews The SFC approach Every lesson begins onshore. SFC starts with the board on sand. You feel where your hands and feet belong, practice the pop-up slowly, and hear the short signals your instructor will use once the board is moving. Out in the water, your instructor keeps the lesson simple: one board, one wave, one useful cue at a time. Open Surf Lessons Private Surf Lessons Meeting location Find SFC at Ala Wai Harbor SFC lessons meet at the Ala Wai Boat Harbor, on the edge of Waikīkī. You can't miss us — look for the big SFC shuttle bus with the yellow "Need a Surf Lesson" sign. Arrive 15 minutes before your lesson so there's time to get your board and rash guard sorted before sand practice starts.
