NBC’s reboot of Blue Crush will also be a story of female empowerment and ambition, set on Hawaii’s North Shore. After a tragic accident, a surfer will work to revive her career and help save her local community, which is being threatened by commercialism and shady surf politics. So it goes…We like the female empowerment angle a lot and really enjoyed getting to work on the original movie.

Learning to surf on the North Shore of Oahu in the winter months is safe because we teach you to surf in a protected cove. With that said it can be very dangerous for beginner surfers to surf with out a surf coach or in a surf lessons. When in doubt don’t paddle out…
A group surfing lesson as part of a corporate retreat is an excellent team building exercise. Your parties surfing lesson will likely be the highlight of your time in Hawaii. We can handle groups up to 40 people and offer the option of having lunch catered at the beach. It’s the perfect way to spend the day!
