Carol and her team of skilled instructors consistently get first-time surfers standing on their boards within their first lesson, often on their very first or second attempt. Families rave about how the clear, concise instruction works for everyone from young kids to parents with zero experience. The instructors have a knack for picking the perfect spots, getting people into waves quickly rather than spending too much time on the beach, and providing just the right amount of hands-on help to ensure success. What really sets this group apart is the genuine care and professionalism. Instructors like Aimee, Amy, Remi, and others create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable, and they're particularly praised for looking after kids' safety and confidence. Betty often captures action shots during sessions that families can purchase afterward, which turns out to be a treasured souvenir. The location at Pua'ena Point offers beautiful scenery and even occasional sea turtle sightings, adding to the overall magic of the experience.
This was booked from the Sea and Surf google location. Once booked, the confirmation came through as North Shore Surf Girls. Our instructor Carol was very patient, and gave my kids the feeling of “they are in control” and to have the confidence they needed for ages 10 & 12. They were nervous of “coral” and “currents”. Neither of those ended up being an issue for them despite both being present. We got instructions on land, practiced before going in, and coaching while out in the water. We opted for private lessons and are so glad we did. Lawrence ended up helping our group when his lessons finished and it kept us moving along going out on waves even in a private group and it also helped with my 10yr old getting pulled back out by an instructor without wearing them out. Definitely recommend!
