We welcome you to our Hanalei Surf Break! After the busy days of summer and before the surge of holiday madness, why not take a break on Kauai? Late in the summer and early spring are some of the best times to visit our island paradise. Moderate temperatures, nice surf conditions and very few tourists on island, makes for a very casual atmosphere and relaxing surf sessions. Most of our surfing will take place at Hanalei Bay which is a 2.5 mile crescent shaped white sand beach lined with tall, lanky palm trees, swaying in the warm moist air. The warm crystal clear water takes on a turquoise hue as the suns rays shine through to expose the sand-covered bottom perfect for surfing from beginner to advanced.

All surf spots have names and here at Hanalei you'll get to experience surfing at the Pier, Pavillions, The Cape, Pine Trees, Middles depending upon surf size and your ability. A great place to start is down by the pier where the waves tend to be smaller for beginners.
Learning to surf is a blast when you're learning it with a great group of new friends. You'll be stoked after your first day as the excitement of this great sport courses through your veins. You'll learn a lot about yourself and it will have you yearning for more.

All of the instructors at Soul and Sport Ventures™ live here on the North Shore and know all the best surf spots to make your time in the water fun, safe and informative. This is where they surf and live so they understand the local surf conditions and know the areas best suited for your skill level. All our instructors are CPR and First Aid certified and live the surfing lifestyle. In order to provide you the best instruction, our surf instruction is set up as one instructor for every four surfers.

Not only will you learn to surf, but you will be educated about water safety, ocean conditions, surf etiquette and caring for your surf equipment. We will have some great guest speakers that will immerse you in the surf culture that few people have the opportunity to really experience.

To give you a jump start on your experience, here's a little surfing lingo to learn:

Peak - the section of a wave that breaks first
Take off - to paddle and catch a wave
Drop in - catching a wave and beginning your ride
Down the line - riding at an angle across the wave away from the peak
Set - a group of waves
Lull - the time the ocean is flat between sets
Stoked - happier than happy
Goofyfoot - to stand with your right foot forward on a surfboard
Regular foot - to stand with your left foot forward on a surfboard
Ripper - a really good surfer
Kook - a person surfing with bad etiquette
Wipe out - to fall
Tanker - a long surf board
Offshore - when the wind blows from the shore, making the waves clean and organized
Onshore - when the wind blows from the ocean, making waves choppy and chaotic
Glassy - the ocean condition when there is no wind

The main focus of all of the surf camps is surfing, however as with all our retreats we will take time to hangout and relax, enjoy a massage and have you experience some of the other great things we spend our time doing as listed below. Please email us for a detailed weeklong itinerary.

Instructions for all activities are carefully explained with emphasis on safety and understanding.
