Our History
Learn to Surf Waikiki with Oahu Surf School
Isaiah Moniz, the owner of Oahu Surf School, grew up in the heart of Waikiki, surfing Hawaii’s legendary waves alongside his siblings-Josh Moniz, Kelia Moniz, Micah Moniz, and Seth Moniz. From his early days riding Waikiki’s iconic breaks to traveling the world to surf, Isaiah developed unmatched experience and a deep love for the ocean, Hawaiian culture, and the art of surfing. Inspired by his family’s surfing legacy and his passion for teaching, he founded Oahu Surf School to share the joy of surfing with students of all ages and skill levels.
