We had such an amazing experience with North Shore Ohana School of Surfing! Mitch was incredible with our group (ages 15, 16, and 21). He was professional, patient, and did a fantastic job helping them understand the techniques, they were all up and surfing in no time. One thing to note: the address listed initially took us to the wrong location, so make sure to double check before heading out. That said, Mitch was awesome, he called us right away and guided us to the correct spot without any stress. This ended up being the highlight of our kids’ first trip to Oahu. We are so glad we did it! If you can, I highly recommend booking the 2-hour session, it’s absolutely worth it.Posted on Google![]()

Our instructors Kekai and Anton were the absolute best! They were so patient, funny, knowledgeable and kind to my family for our surf lessons. We loved chatting with them during our lesson and afterwards as well. We are still talking about how much we appreciated them. Definitely a great experience and awesome memories from that morning. Thank you Kekai and Anton! 🏄🏼♂️Posted on Google![]()

My grandchildren (9,11,14 years old) all had lessons a couple of days ago. They all came out smiling, happy and having surfed many waves. They really enjoyed their lessons and instructors and came out excited to surf again. It was great fun for me to watch them learn.Posted on Google![]()

Our kids (9, 11, 14) had a blast surfing at Chun’s Reef! The waves weren’t too big in late July, but Kane, Josh and James were all terrific instructors and made sure each of them caught a bunch of waves. Kimo took incredible pictures and videos! Would 100% recommend North Shore Oahu Surf School!!Posted on Google![]()

Fantastic experience with North Shore Oahu Surf School. Kane was great with the family. Very supportive when out in the water. He and the other instructors really tried to create a positive surfing experience for our family. I definitely recommend this crew to anyone looking for a great family experience! Mahalo!
Incredible experience with our instructor Lawrence. He was on time, professional, super patient with beginner surfers and encouraging the entire lesson. Knowledgeable with 25 years of surfing would highly recommend taking a surf lesson with Lawrence.
Great guys. Explanations on how to surf were clear and easy to understand. They were super patient with my boys and very encouraging. They were cognizant of my youngest and kept an extra eye on him. By the time we were done my two oldest were consistently riding waves in.
One of the best experiences I’ve had while on my trip to the island.
My 17 and 12 year old sisters and I went out once with Kekai and ended up going back a day later because of how much we enjoyed it the first time. Kekai was friendly, helpful, patient, and encouraging as it was our first time ever surfing. He met up with us at the most perfect secluded beach with the best waves. Overall we had a wonderful 2 hours in what basically felt like a private lesson because it was just us and keiki the entire time. I would 100 percent go back to this surfing company and recommend to family and friends.
Kala was our instructor and the person I spoke with over the phone when booking the reservation for my wife, older teen daughter and myself. My wife is not comfortable in the ocean and really needed convincing to join us. From the start, Kala was calm, thorough and clear in teaching us the basics from paddling to standing, and turning. He explained that we have plenty of time and there’s no need to rush — just follow the basics and it’ll cover 90% of the job. Before paddling out he explained the safety paths for returning to the after catching a wave in to avoid colliding with oncoming surfers. In between sets, he continued with tips on what needed correction. My daughter was standing on the first wave, and within a few waves so too was my wife. It was a good time. I’d highly recommend this school and plan on booking again on our next visit.
Our instructor Kala was awesome! My family and I (age 13, 17 and 46) took lessons and we were able to surf very quickly with all of us having little to no prior experience. Kala was very good at preparing us by providing instructions and practice before we got in the water so we felt comfortable. He was encouraging and friendly. Kala was very knowledgeable about surfing and safety. I highly recommend his company and I would use North Shore Oahu Surf School again for future lessons. We had a beautiful and fun time surfing!
