Overview
- North Shore surf lessons named after Hawaiian concepts - 'Ohana' (family/group) and 'Kapu' (sacred/exclusive) reflecting the group-size tiers
- Very high booking volume for the 1-on-1 Kapu option, suggesting strong demand for private instruction
This school names its lesson tiers after Hawaiian cultural concepts: the 'Ohana' package accommodates a private group of 6-8 (good for families or friend groups), while 'Kapu' is fully exclusive one-on-one instruction.
Options
Tripreviewall's Take
Choose Kapu for the fastest individual progress, Ohana if you're bringing a full family or friend group.
Good for
- Ohana: families or groups of friends wanting to learn together; Kapu: individuals or couples wanting maximum instructor attention
Worth knowing
- North Shore's beginner-appropriate breaks are seasonal - confirm the lesson uses summer-safe conditions if you're a first-timer visiting in winter
