Kapowui is a family run business and and an icon of southern California.
We live, eat, and dream surfing and teach surfing because we want to share our love and stoke for the sport. This is a life choice for us and what gives our
lives meaning.
All of Kapowui's instructors are imbued with the Aloha spirit, live within blocks of the beach (4 of them live in surf vans), surf every day and have many years
teaching experience.
When we are doing a lesson with you, we are 100% focused and in the moment with you.
At Kapowui we truly care about your experience because we know the pure unfettered joy you are going to feel when you catch a wave and we get to vicariously experience that with you.
Whether surfing is a one time bucket list item or a new sport you want to pick up, we will have you up riding waves, 100% guaranteed! Additionally you will be immersed in the surf culture, giving you the opportunity to feel the true surfer vibe, while
learning a skill you can use forever.
This is why many of the 5 star hotels in Los Angeles call us to service their guest, i.e. Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Beverly Hills Hotel, Shutters, Loews, etc.
If you want your lesson to be a unforgettable "surfing experience"and a lifelong memory, then Kapowui is the company for you.
