Moku Hawaii, Honolulu

Moku Surf Rentals & Board Shop's instructors have 99% success rate when it comes to first-timers standing up on their surfboards. Newcomers always begin on dry land, learning balance and the basic movements of surfing. Once they're confident, the students walk over to Honolulu's famous Waikiki Beach and wade into the cool, clear water. The beginning surfers learn how to paddle to catch each new break, stand on their board, and ride the wave back to the shore.

The board shop serves people who are more experienced on the waves. It rents out body boards, standup paddleboards, and surf boards—both long and short—for a variety of time periods. Customers can reserve a board for anywhere from one hour to multiple days at a time. An onsite changing room is available.
