With a perfect track record across reviews, this North Shore surf school consistently delivers for first-timers and families looking to learn. Instructors like Zack, Mitch, Kane, and Maikai get frequent shoutouts for being patient, encouraging, and genuinely skilled at getting beginners standing up on waves.

The booking process is straightforward, and instructors adjust to conditions and schedules when needed. What really stands out is how personalized the experience feels despite often teaching groups.

Several nervous beginners mention feeling at ease quickly.

If you're hoping to learn surfing in Hawaii, this crew makes it happen.
We had an amazing time with these guys! They really do take their time teaching; so big shout out to Zack since he was very patient with us! My partner and I booked the 2hr private lessons and had the best time! It was also my first time surfing and managed to stand up and catch a few waves.. in terms of the beach area, it was pretty quiet and not so crowded so can really plan a full day out here though it does get super hot out with minimal shade so plan accordingly. Lastly, the surf school has a fantastic photographer Fernando and the photos came out amazing! Worth the price. We’ll definitely come back here next time we visit 🤙
