What to Wear for a Surfing Lesson?

By |February 13th, 2013|Surf Happenings|0 Comments

What to wear for a surfing lesson is a question our surf school students often ask. The answer to what to wear for a surfing lesson for females is a bathing suite that stays on in the water.  For guys a pair of surf trunks is what to wear for a surfing lesson. Both items can be purchased at any surf shops in Haleiwa. Our surf school supply’s you with a long sleeve surf shirt or rash guard, but if you prefer you can bring your own, just remember to get a long sleeve one.

Reef safe sun screen is also super important to use when taking a surfing lesson.

Besides a bathing suite and a long sleeve rash-guard, which we also sell on our website. Leggings are also a must “what to wear for a surfing lesson”, especially if you want to protect your skin from getting a sun burn and or rash.  You can buy leggings at some of the surf shops out here, but most likely you already own a pair.  As long as your leggings have stretch in them they will work fine.  Other then the above mentioned swim suit, leggings and rash guard, you can also wear a […]

Which is the Best Surf School on the North Shore of Oahu?

By |February 12th, 2013|Surf Happenings|0 Comments

From time to time a potential surf student asks the North Shore Surf Girls Surf School what backs us better then other surf schools on the North Shore of Oahu? My response is that we don’t know, because we have never taken a surfing lesson from one of the other surf schools on the North Shore. We can tell them that with our surf school we focus on the individual needs of our surf students. For example some people are more athletic then others and may learn to surf very quickly, other people need more hands on surfing instruction. Young children also need to have more attention to keep them safe while learning to surf. One question to ask when deciding which surf school to learn from is “are they licensed and do they have insurance?”. Only a few surf schools on the North Shore are actually licensed and insured. Happy surfing!

Why the Surf is bigger on the North Shore then in Waikiki

By |November 14th, 2012|Surf Happenings|0 Comments

Actually the surf is mostly bigger on the North Shore of Oahu then in Waikiki mostly  in the winter months.  More specifically when the winter is in the Northern hemisphere.  During this time there is a lot of storm activity in the North Pacific which turns up the ocean and sends swells across the pacific.  Some of those swells reach the North Shore of Oahu and create waves. Fortunately for our surf school and our surf students there is a protected cove near Haleiwa town on the North Shore where the waves are always small and safe.

Triple Crown of Surfing on the North Shore of Oahu – 2012 – Will Slater Bring Home the Lucky 13?

By |November 12th, 2012|Surf Happenings|0 Comments

While most beginner surfers are taking lessons in small 1-2 foot waves on the North Shore of Oahu, the big boys will be battling it out for the Surfing World Title.  Currently 3 surfers are in contention; Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning and of course the man himself, Kelly Slater.  A complicated mathematical formula explains who has to place where in order for  Slater to win.  Since Parkinson is the current rankings leader on the Association of Surfing Professional, ASP, World Championship Tour, WCT, the following ASP World Title scenarios will be based on his potential finishes at Pipeline. None the less remember, we are pulling for Slater.

If Parkinson finishes 13th, 9th or 5th at the Billabong Pipe Masters:

Slater needs a 5th or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
Fanning needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title. (*Contingent upon Slater finishing 5th or Lower at Pipeline.)

If Parkinson finishes Equal 3rd at the Billabong Pipe Masters:

Slater needs a 3rd or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.

Our Winter Surfing Lessons Location on the North Shore is Down a Road Named Kahalewai Place

By |November 1st, 2012|Surf Happenings|0 Comments

During the Winter months on the North Shore of Oahu the North Shore Surf Girls teach surf lessons in a protected cove named Puaena Point.  To get there you must turn off of Kamehameha Hwy., onto an unmarked road named Kahalewai.  Part of the North Shore Surf Girls Surf School’s mission in teaching people about the Hawaiian sport of surfing is to share with our students some of the cultural aspects of the area.  A good place to start is with place names.  Puaena Point translates into “hot flower”.  Pua = flower and ena = hot.  Kahalewai translates in to “the house that holds the water”.  Ka = the, hale = house and wai = water.  We find that by learning the Hawaiian names  and meanings of places helps our surf students gain a deeper appreciation for the sport of surfing and we hope a love of the beautiful Hawaiian culture that has given it to us.
