## Quick answer

No. Commercial lessons are not allowed in the park.

## Detailed answer

City ordinance bans commercial activity at Kailua Beach Park at all times, so surf schools and instructors cannot teach in the park. Shops in Kailua town rent boards and can point you to places where lessons are allowed. Kailua is better known for kayaking, stand-up paddling, windsurfing and kiteboarding than for surfing. If you go out on your own, stay in front of a staffed lifeguard tower.
