About WAV'Y Surf Shop
WAV'Y is a small surf shop steps from Yoshihama Beach, running board rental and 90-minute lessons alongside its shop trade.
Lessons are priced by what you bring: full instruction with board and wetsuit rental costs more than instruction alone if you already have your own gear. Bring a towel and beach sandals. Student and minor discounts are available, and there's rental-only for surfers who don't need coaching.
Call or use the contact form on their site to book; a shuttle service is available too. Lessons are run in Japanese.
