The trip was super amazing! I feel like I was treated like a princess. It is my first time traveling by myself and I feel sooo grateful to stay with Cesar (the host)'s family during the Thanksgiving holiday!

I have a surf lesson every day. I tried a few instructors until I find the best one. Please ask for anything you want. Cesar will try their best to satisfy your requests. I was improving every day on surfing and was feeling accomplishment. LOVE IT!!!

Cesar and his wife - Katia always served me absolutely delicious, authentic, local food like the best poke and shrimp in town. I got a chance to try some Brazilian food as well since the host is from Brazil and has been in North Shore for more than 30 years. We had a big Thanksgiving dinner with the local Brazil community which makes the best Thanksgiving for me as a Chinese who doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving.

They also brought me to explore the island and checked out some signature trails and spots.

Highly recommend!!! Go apply NOW!!!

I went to GoNuts to take some surf lessons and experience Hawaii's north shore. I got that and along the way I made some friends as well. I felt like I was visiting family. GoNuts is across the street from Velzyland and just north of Pipeline. I recommend it. - Dave

Perfect place to learn surfing and to explore the north shore. Great teachers and hospitality, feels like a second home while you're there and Cesar's food is superb! It's a bit pricey for a budget traveller but worth every dollar. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon.

The location of the camp was in the prime spot of the North Shore. I was able to walk to one of the surf competitions going on. The beach was across the street, and so was one of the good surf spots.

Cesar and Fabio are great guys. They improved my surfing skills everyday and knew exactly what they were doing. Everyday they were smiling and helping with whatever I needed. You could just see the passion for surfing, the island and their job. Very much appreciate the time I was spending at the surf camp.
