About
Hook Up Surfing

Ivan founded Hook-Up-Surfing well over a decade ago. Ivan started working as a Waikiki Beachboy in 1986 and has taught a countless number of people how to surf since then. A number of those he taught over the years picked up the sport and have progressed to riding larger waves and shorter boards. Many now surf regularly. Ivan’s passion for surfing and giving the gift of surfing to all ages and abilities shows, which is why his instruction is often sought by visitors and locals alike. Ivan’s wife Jenn has also taught many to surf in addition to having competed in professional long boarding and stand-up paddle events.

Hook-Up-Surfing uses its own proprietary teaching progressions to make learning to surf a fun and enjoyable process for all ages and levels.

Why we stand out.

Our lessons are taught by professional experienced and highly qualified State and Advanced Lifeguard Certified instructors that are passionate about sharing the sport of surfing. We prioritize safety and quality over quantity.
Not being tied to a specific location has it’s advantages. And for us that means dreamy uncrowded spots in Waikiki and around Oahu that allow us to teach you at the best location for your level on any given day.
Whether it’s your first time on a board and would like to experience the thrill of riding a wave, if you just want to experience Hawaii from the water, or you’re trying to take your surfing to the next level (shortboard, longboard, bigger surf, advanced maneuvers) we are passionate about giving you the experience you are looking for and sharing our island home.
