North Shore Ohana School of Surfing - Chuns Reef Beach
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. Multiple families mention even young kids (as young as 7-8 years old) successfully catching waves and having the time of their lives. 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. Instructors provide strong physical support in the water, give clear beach lessons without wasting time, and seem to genuinely care about making everyone comfortable. Several nervous beginners mention feeling at ease quickly. The team also shares local recommendations and clearly knows the North Shore breaks well, choosing locations based on conditions and skill levels. If you're hoping to learn surfing in Hawaii, this crew makes it happen.
Our family had a great 1.5 hour surf lesson with James and Kane this morning. They were patient with our 8 and 10 year olds and we all surfed many (small) waves successfully. Everything felt safe, and communication from the booking to the lesson was easy. Would gladly do another surfing lesson with this group when we come back next!
