Every day thousands of people visit our beaches on the North Shore of Oahu to surf, swim, snorkel and even sun bath and for some reason a small percentage of these people leave trash on the beach. Please, please don’t be one of these people. It is the hope of the North Shore Surf Girls Surf School that everyone who goes to the beach will not only take all their trash with them when they leave but also pick up any trash left by fellow beach goes. Leaving one’s trash at the beach is super ignorant so too is walking by trash left by others. Let’s all pitch in and keep our beaches pristine.

Carol — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:46:26 +0000

There are really so many wonderful things about living on the North Shore. First and most obviously the beaches and off shore waters. We have miles and miles of white sandy beaches. Green sea turtles and monk seals along with an untold number of other shoreline species sharing this space between the land and ocean with us humans. The North Shore is also know as the Surfing Capitol of the World. The title says it all. Every year a couple of thousand or more surfing enthusiast from around the world join the tight knit North Shore community for 7 months of surfing joy. When the waves are perfect it’s heaven on Earth. When the wind’s blow on-shore and it’s victory at sea, everybody is still happy because the air is clean and filled with the smell of salt. Thirdly the North Shore Sunsets are some of the most beautiful in the world. My favorite one happened one evening at Sunset Beach. I paddled out on my boogie board on a good size swell with strong off shore winds and a full moon on the rise…The sheer beautify of nature came together as the setting sun lit up the spray from the offshore winds blowing up the faces of waves, while the full moon peaked over the ridge. Finally the people on the North Shore are all amazing…

Protecting one’s skin while learning how to surf is very important to many of our surf students. Protecting our skin while teaching our students is also very important to the North Shore Surf Girls…So we usually wear long sleeve surf shirts, long leggings and Coolibar surfing gloves.. A word on the importance of protecting your hands from the sun while surfing; the skin on the back of your hands is very thin and easily damaged by the sun, also when you paddle your surf board the back of your hand facing up and very exposed to the sun….

How To Be Kind to Our Reefs on the North Shore of Oahu When Surfing or Swiming

Carol — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:12:08 +0000

All the underwater reefs in the world are endangered from many things, including human beings walking on them. So when you take a surfing lesson, go swimming or for a free surf, don’t wear reef shoes. Besides making it hard to; balance on your surfboard and swim, they not only make you look like a kook, (surfer slang for very uncool) reef shoes crush the reef when you walk on ocean floor with them. It’s much healthier for our friends in the ocean for humans to not touch the reef at all.
