This was the highlight of our trip. I caught a wave and was standing the first try. My 13-year-old daughter was not sure and almost backed out. Stephanie helped her and even tandem rode with her. It was great to see her comfortable in the ocean and the waves I will be telling everyone I know about the North Shore... more

I Have to thank North Shore Surf Girls for the wonderful lessons the staff provided for my kids and I. It was the highlight of an already amazing vacation. Although we had been trying to teach orselves for months in the cold waters of the northern California coast, our success had been limited. They had us up and riding the... 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!!!!! Carol and Stephanie were amazing!!!... more
