Learning to surf on the North Shore!

ANNA_S, Jan 2026

Incredible tlexperience learning how to surf on the NORTH SHORE! Connor was great at showing us, first timers, what to do. He personally navigated us around the busy waves, and got us onto a few fun waves. Connor was very patient and a good instructor for the two of us. He started us out on land, and then we transitioned to the water. We will definitely.be back!

Conor was Awesome

Matt_G, Sep 2023

So, we actually had to cancel because there were no waves. How often does that happen on the North Shore? But Conor was great. He kept me informed by text and a call the morning of letting me know that Mother Nature wasn't cooperating. He was so apologetic that he had to cancel, like it was his fault. If I ever get the chance to come back, I'll try again and ask for Conor.
