★★★★★Jessica HockinMy teenage girls and I booked a private lesson with Zack and absolutely loved it! He taught us how to paddle out and get up on our boards, but also got us into the right areas, into the waves which helped us get up multiple times. This is a highlight of our trip and we'll definitely be back - I actually wish we booked two consecutive days of lessons!
★★★★★Brooklyn Getzeldirect line of contact on where to meet and when! Super easy to book and find instructor. The quick intro lesson on the beach was detailed but didn’t waste any time! I had perfect luck with a relatively empty ocean and small waves. I stood up on every wave they helped me catch. At least 10-15 times!!! 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone I know. These guys know their stuff
★★★★★Kevin ScogginsWe had a great time with Kane, he was a wonderful instructor. he was very patient with my wife and I, helping us with our stance and technique. Our daughter was a natural and he gave her great pointers to have even more fun surfing. absolutely had a wonderful time.
★★★★★Mark DavidsonZach, Mitch, and Kane took us out surfing for basically our first time ever. These guys showed us the ropes and had me, my nephew, and my dad up and surfing in no time. These guys know their stuff and are really friendly. Zach even took some extra time to take my 7 year old son out for a few surf rides as well. He's still on cloud nine. I really appreciate the experience that they were able to give us. I highly recommend these guys if you are looking for a surf instructor or guide.
★★★★★Sydnie LouiseNorth Shore Ohana surf school is hands down the best! They were able to accommodate our whole family with a group lesson and two tandem lessons for my youngest two! They taught us everything we needed to know and then gave us pointers and tips while we were catching waves. Kane picked the perfect waves for each of us to ride. Everyone in our group was able to stand up and ride the waves! My two youngest had the best time with their tandem rides. Both Zac and Micheal were patient, protective and caring with my 6 and 7 year old! My brave 6 year old had the time of her life riding the only the big waves with Zac. I would recommend North Shore Ohana surf school to everyone! They went above and beyond to make our lessons amazing and fun!
