I have never stood on a surfboard before so I didn't think the first lesson would be too much fun but I had a blast! My friend and I we enjoyed Carol's surf lesson so much and we even cought some good waves and stood on the board! If we come to Hawaii the next time - we will definitely... more

Carol Phillips at the North Shore Surf Girls puts on a surf lesson you'll never forget. She shares her knowledge of being an authentic female wave rider for nearly 25 years, and does so with such exuberance and Aloha! I highly recommend sharing a few hours with Carol doing what she knows best, checking the spot, gearing up, paddling out... more

Thanks for the lesson, My son and I had a great time and Carol was very patient with us. My son Jesse says " Thanks for your help and encouragement". It makes a huge difference when you go with someone who has the right equipment and knowledge of the area. Jesse got up on his first try and I got... more

In thinking about how this "surfing lesson" was going to go, my guess was that one of the five of us 'might' be standing up on the board by the end of the day...to my shock and surprise - all 5 of us, native central Texas folks, were standing up on the very first wave!!!!!

She and Stephanie worked with our 15, 13, 11 and 9 year old. They did very well with the children so I would recommend them for children. That said, I... more

Carol is incredible! I am so thankful to have run into her and gotten in on one of her lessons. I live in california, about 20 minutes from the beach and i had NEVER SURFED BEFORE. Ended up staying with a relative in hawaii who introduced me to carol, took a lesson with her and she had me riding waves... more

This was my first time surfing and I chose NSSG b/c of their great reviews on this site. Carol was prompt in meeting us and her directions were spot on. She gave us great instructions prior to entering the water to make sure we knew where to be and how to handle incoming waves along with many other safety tips.... more
