Just wanted to leave a review for North Shore Beach Boyz. I booked a semi-private lessons very last minute. Unfortunately, an unforeseen situation arose in my family and we had to cancel the lessons. Toby was very understanding to give us a full refund. He even showed kind concern for my family's situation. I will definitely book with North Shore Beach Boyz next time we come back to Oahu! Thanks, Toby! read more

Kalani was very patient and understanding. He answered all my questions and made me feel safe.

Kalani was amazing! North beach is spectacular. My first time ever surfing, and I caught ~15 waves! 10/10 recommend

We had semi-private lessons with Kalani. He was highly informative, a great teacher, very patient, extremely helpful, and focused on safety. 100% worth the money - and was priced fairly for all that he did to help us learn to surf. Would highly recommend this company and this instructor. Will be using again. read more

Kalani is a legend!! I began the day terrified of surfing, but with Kalani's guidance I was able to stand up on the very first wave and improve a lot throughout the lesson.

Kalani & Toby are absolute legends. They really are patient and are very knowledgable about the water. I brought my 7-year-old son as well and they were able to get him up and riding on his FIRST WAVE...I was so proud :) These guys are true waterman. They really understand the ocean and how to give you the knowledge not only be safe but on tons of tips and tricks so you can get up in riding in no time. Being a constantly worried parent it was nice to also know they were both CPR, AED, and lifeguard certified. Thanks again guys I truly appreciate the memories you helped me create with my son...he is so pumped on surfing now! read more

Toby was our main instructor. Him and the other two guys that helped teach were great instructors that took everyone where they were. They did a great job at giving extra guidance and assistance to those who needed it most while simultaneously advancing those who did well along even further. They always took care to make the group feel safe, and to teach us to be respectful of other surfers and the environment. read more

The instructors (Kalani and Trevor) were amazing at what they do and paid a lot of attention to my form and made sure to keep up a positive attitude. The words of encouragement and guidance really helped. As a first time surfer I've caught around 80%-90% of my waves and I couldn't have asked for better instructors. read more

I had a great and fun lesson with Kalani today. I am a beginner surfer used to catching smaller waves (2'-3'), but took a lesson to hammer down on the fundamentals and break any bad habits that may be forming. I first started learning on a shortboard (big mistake), before switching to a good ole wavestorm, and eventually worked my way down to an 8' longboard. I could catch green waves, though a bit inconsistently, and knew basic surfing fundamentals before taking this lesson. I felt that my surfing was progressing, albeit a bit slowly, so I took this opportunity to see if there were obvious mistakes I could correct. Kalani quickly gauged my skill level and made constant adjustments throughout the lesson to make sure I was getting the most out of the session. Once he felt I understood a topic, he would teach me something new and constantly push me out of my comfort zone and into the learning zone. He was attentive and gave tips on how to read the waves, position yourself optimally, and surf safely. He was also very observant and pointed out minor things that never even crossed my mind that significantly increased my chances of catching a wave. It helped me realize how paddling even a second later, or not paddling hard enough immediately could cause you to miss a wave. Of course, there were also about a half a dozen things specific to me that he pointed out that I will have to work though to become a better and more consistent surfer. Happy to say that I did catch multiple 5'-8' waves by the end of our 2 hour session, though it did come at the price of gulping some sea water. I can say that this was the most fun and exhilarating experience I've had surfing, especially because this was my first foray away from the more traditional beginner spots. I would definitely recommend checking this business out even if you're not a true beginner. There's so much to learn and getting out there with a professional surfer like Kalani is such a humbling experience. I'm sure you won't regret it! read more

Went for a surfing lesson with my 2 sons and had a great time. Kalani and Toby gave us be a great lesson, it was there first time surfing for all three of us and we all got some great waves and great runs. Would definitely recommend the North shore Beach Boyz, they really know their stuff. read more

Kalani was amazing!! He was very patient with us as first time surfers! It was so much! We were able to surf and get up on the board multiple times because kalani was such a good teacher to us! I would highly recommend him and this company! read more

My kids absolutely LOVED taking lessons with Kalani. My twin daughters (10 years old) took their first official surf lessons with North Shore Beach Boyz and it couldn't have been better. The girls didn't want to come in once the first lesson was done - so we booked another! :) The best part was later that day the girls were telling us how while waiting for a wave, Kalani took the time to talk about the North Shore, the turtles and teach them about the ocean. That's what you call a great lesson with a great teacher. Can't wait to visit again and get in as much surfing as possible. read more

Had a great time with Toby and Kalani. They teach really well and are very caring when it comes to their students safety. Will for sure go surfing with them again. read more

I think everyone has their own ideas of what they want to do and see in Hawaii. Of course I was no different. I wanted to get the full Hawaii experience. Surf, sun, tan, sea turtles... I am the worlds most curious person and since I grew up in the snow and mountain the ocean is a fascinating but foreign world to me. Kalani was amazing! The man know the ocean, he answered my rapid-fire questions about the ocean, waves, surfing, how the waves move, all about big waves, what big wave surfing is about. One question lead into another and by the end of the journey I felt at peace with the ocean, with the turtles and felt grateful for Kalani's guidance. Mahalo Kalani for your patience with myself and my family. read more

North Shore Beach Boyz - Surfing Near Me

Amazing group!!!! My other surfing lesson got cancelled on me twice from another group. I was so sad I was going to leave Hawaii without experiencing surfing. As a last minute thing, I contacted North Shore Beach Boyz. They got back to us within 5 minutes. We got semi private lesson by non other than legendary Kalani Chapman, a professional surfer. (Look him up). He was an amazing instructor and so humble that I didn't even know him until my brother in law pointed it out that he is very famous surfer. He also recommended a professional photographer Willie for my son. We were so thrilled with this experience and got beautiful pictures as well. Thank you so much!!!! We highly recommend this group and also this instructor!!!!! Mahalo!! read more

This was definitely a highlight for my kids! I wish I had joined in on the lesson! Watching from the beach, Kalani pushed them into wave after wave with awesome instructions about when to stand up, lean back/forward, etc. and they listened! They looked like pros out there. He was super patient and showed them lots of tips. They caught a bunch of waves on their own too. To be taught by a big wave legend is such a cool experience, highly recommended!!!! read more

I can't say enough about how great these guys were. They are informative and instructive in a very laid back way. Special shout-out to Kelani who towed me out most of the time to help conserve my energy and take it easy on my post-op wrist. I was able to stand on my first wave and rode several waves throughout the lesson. Great experience and would definitely recommend. read more

Kalani knows all the other instructors. He was on time. He was knowledgeable and thoroughly explained the process to help us beginners know what to do and what to expect. He made sure to find waves that matched our abilities and encouraged us throughout the whole process. His group yesterday saw dolphins in the ocean. Today, I had a turtle pop up right next to my surf board (so adorable). What a fun experience! read more

I booked a 2 hour surf lesson for my husband and 2 adult sons. They had an amazing time with Toby and Kalani and came away passionate about surfing and so excited to schedule another surf trip.
