North Shore Surfing Lessons Oahu Hawaii

3 taking lessons- boards were pretty trashed and guide was not very friendly or patient. He did let us surf a little longer than specified time but seemed like other companies might’ve been bettwr

Our surf instructor was very rude and condescending. He had very little patience at all. I was surprised given he had so much years of experience in teaching. Maybe he was just having a bad day? Either way our experience was not pleasant. He would snap/yell at us for not following his exact instructions. He was very inflexible and he was late to the session (It was only 10 minutes).

Jacob was an awesome surfing instructor!! Would definitely recommend. He made sure we were where the waves were to get the best experience.

We arrived early to ensure we knew where to go. Looked around for 45 minute and couldn’t find anyone. No signs. Left several messages. They replied back that their network was down, they didn’t know they had a booking. I booked back in December as it was a Christmas present.

This was my first time surfing, and I had Matt as my surfing instructor. He is AWESOME and made the whole experience educational and fun. We spent a few minutes going over proper form and technique before heading out into the water, and I was able to catch a wave on my very first attempt. Such a great feeling! The coral/rocks underwater are sharp in some spots, so do your best to not get scratched up if you can. You might also get a little board rash and a few bruises when you keep surfing as a beginner, but they subside within a few days. Well worth it, though! I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone who's interested in surfing, and you have to request Matt as your instructor.

Slow start but an amazing day. My 10 yr old daughter and I decided to take surf lessons on our first trip to Hawaii. We signed up for this from Canada before the trip with no knowledge of surfing or the area but got really lucky with this company and specifically the surf guide. The slow start was due to a previous lesson running late then the guide arriving half an hour later than advised. We took the time to sit near the beach and watch the other surf lessons, these were largely made up of guides that were young surfers that spent most of the time staring at the young women and talking openly about who they wanted most when the girls were out of earshot. When our guide showed up he was an older surf veteran with a great attitude and a ton motivation. Matthew (our guide) explained everything and was completely focused on helping us surf and learn as much as possible. He was the best in the water at finding the perfect spot to read and catch waves. We we're incredibly lucy to have ended up with Matthew and if we're ever back for lessons again he'll be our first call. 5 stars experience.

This was a great experience! Matthew was fun, patient, and a great teacher for beginners. He made surfing simple and cheered us on the whole time. This was an unforgettable experience!

It was nice to get away from the crowds at Waikiki and enjoy a quieter lesson. Anita was great, the water was perfect and hanging at the north shore afterward for the day made the best experience

Instructor was passive aggressive and rude. Saw other instructors around us who were very encouraging, energetic and kind.

This group of instructors was phenomenal. We are a big family of six with huge age ranges and they did a fantastic job with all of us. We had so much fun learning and riding the waves. Safety was very important to them and Jacob was very informative. Would absolutely do it again.

Our instructor, Sterling, was excellent and informative and patient. I received answers to questions prior to surfing very quickly. The water wasn't too deep and we didn't have to go too far off shore so I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. The waves were just right.
This is a nice place to snorkle, too, with a lot of sea turtles. There are outside showers to wash off afterward and an area to change into dry clothes. We really enjoyed this experience. Surfing was a lot more physical than I imagined so do your yoga, stretching and strengthen your arms to get in shape before you go!

Jacob was an amazing instructor! He did a great job of going over safety in the water and taught me many things about types of boards and water conditions. I would definitely recommend working with him

Matt was awesome! Very knowledgeable and patient with all of us! My 14 year old caught some great waves! Thank you so much!

Jacob was a great teacher and very inspiring surfer, I was impressed by how much we were able to do from scratch in just 90 minutes. Our lesson was a highlight of our Hawaii trip!

Matthew is absolutely great at teaching surfing and funny! He made our day better, as well as his Chihuahua named Rabbit.

Location was perfect and the instructors were kind helpfully and skilled. Everyone from 8-48 years old loved it. Thanks.

My son, Austin had a blast… with his guide Matthew. 🙂🤙. We would come back and use this service again.
