About

Recommended for individuals who have previous surf experience and would like to enhance their skills. This is a great way to get to know the local ocean currents, reef typography and surf breaks. The start of the lesson involves multiple surf checks at favorite local surf breaks. Based on the conditions and wave heights we then determine where we will spend the next 2.5 hours surfing we could always check more then one location and surf 1 1/2 hour each location depending on the travel be. One on one instruction will allow you to feel comfortable in an unfamiliar line up. Beginners will be assigned the standard soft top beginner board. Intermediate to advanced surfers are recommended to bring your own equipment to enhance your experience. If you did not rent or bring your own board we can provide recommendations. We work directly with a local surf shop to offer you quiver of boards to ride- (separately rated $ ) but at discounted price.. Please contact us directly. (808)-366-5523 -ZACK

The Winter & Summer season surf locations are also awesome snorkel spots to swim alongside our Native green sea turtles. While sitting in the surf line up the marine life that we see out surfing will be, green sea turtles daily by the dozens, humpback whales in the winter migrating season, spinner dolphins in summer season feasting off small schools of fish, schools of indigenous reef fish, & manta rays.

At North Shore Ohana We love to offer that pride in our work, that if any one individual is unsatisfied with the surfing experience or service you're refunded your money back. No questions asked! All ALOHA!
