All instruction and timing for the ride was handled in Japanese.
As I was alone, there was no one to look at my luggage, but I was given it.
They also told me beforehand where to change.
We are one of the few locally owned/operated surf schools on the North Shore of Oahu.

The beach we teach at is also a very popular beach for seeing turtles, I'm sure we will see a few during our surf lesson. Learn from the best and come surf with us!

Instructors Keoni and Kalani were exactly what my family and I needed to catch our first waves! They both were very encouraging and accommodating on the water. They seemed to know how to give us just the right amount of information to improve our technique without overloading us or making us get stuck in our heads. They really impressed upon me the spirit of surfing in relaxing into it, only good vibes here.
I could not have stayed on the water as long as I did without these guys as well! They do so much of the heavy lifting to get you straight into the action of catching waves. They help you get momentum to catch the wave, they help tow you out into the water and back into position after catching a wave (praise be these men’s back muscles).
I really appreciate how they took care of my mom during the lesson. After she had been surfing for a while, (caught a wave on her first try thanks to these guys by the way!) she decided that she’d had enough but wanted to stay on the water to watch. And they towed her around on her board to all the different spots we went and made sure she had a good view all while making sure the rest of us kept catching waves. They made her feel so safe and included and that meant the world to me.
The location couldn’t have been better when we went as well! The waves were very exciting without being intimidating or boring, it struck the perfect balance for us. The beach and water were beautiful. I even saw a sea turtle while I was on a wave! A truly magical experience.
Banzai Surf School gave us an unforgettable day on the North Shore and I cannot recommend them enough!

My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience learning to surf with Kalani at North Shore Banzai Surf School. From the very start, Kalani was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. He explained everything clearly, from ocean safety to technique, and made sure we felt comfortable and confident before getting in the water.
What really stood out was how patient and encouraging he was—he broke things down in a way that was easy to understand, and his passion for surfing really showed. Thanks to his guidance, we were both able to catch waves and truly enjoy the experience.
If you’re looking for someone who’s not only intelligent and skilled but also genuinely invested in helping you succeed, Kalani is the person to go with. We couldn’t recommend North Shore Banzai Surf School more highly!
