We had SUCH an amazing time with 808 Surf School!!…read more Andy was the best-- professional, knowledgeable, really attentive, and made us feel safe and comfortable in the water the whole time. He explained everything in a way that made it easy and not intimidating at all. This was my boys' VERY FIRST time surfing ever, and they both got up and rode waves ‍ It was the coolest thing to watch--they were so fearless and had the best time. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're even thinking about surf lessons, this is 100% the place. Andy is awesome

The way he interacted with the kids was an intangible...he was a kindred spirit! It was obvious these folks cared about teaching their love of surfing and it wasn't just about earning our payment. If you ever go to Oahu...I recommend opting for these guys instead of booking with some commercialized surf lesson company at Waikiki. You get so much more than just lessons. It's an experience. There were 3 households of parents that unanimously agreed Andy was awesome!!

So many great things to say about Amy and Lawrence and this surf school overall! We had done a…read morelesson at a different beach with a different school when we first got to Oahu and our daughter (6yo) was a little intimidated by the experience. She kept asking to give it another shot, so I reached out to North Shore Surf Girls and they were so understanding and accommodating. From the very first minute of the lesson, I knew it was going to be a great experience. Amy offered really clear, gentle instruction and had my daughter up to her feet on the first wave. Lawrence was also super great with our son (who is only 3) and both kids were out there catching waves for the full hour having a blast. This was a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend them as teachers, especially if you have young kids and are in need of a tandem lesson.

Worth every penny!!!…read more First time to the North Shore and wanted to try surfing. I decided to book with Shaydo because he's a professional surfer, CPR trained and trusted waterman....I definitely made the right choice!!! From the moment I met him, I felt comfortable and relaxed. He was very patient and thorough before we even got in the water. Once we were in the water, Shaydo got me up on my board and I WAS SURFING!!! Needless to say, the time in the water flew by and I had so much fun. I would definitely book a class with Shaydo again. It was such an authentic experience, plus how many people can say they learned to surf with a professional surfer!
