Board meetings have a whole new meaning at Turtle Bay Resort, located on the North Shore of Oahu.
By “board” I mean surfboards! That’s why Turtle Bay is the ideal location for true team building, increasing company morale and of course having a good time.
Take adventure website TheClymb.com for example. For the second consecutive year the company has packed up its entire office and moved it to Turtle Bay for a “workcation.”
“We actually uproot the entire office from Portland, Oregon to the North Shore here and we work from crazy early in the morning until midday and then we enjoy the North Shore all afternoon,” said TheClymb.com Co-Founder Cec Annett.
“It’s been absolutely amazing you know for us, it’s really important to be authentic to who we are as a brand and there’s no better place in the world to come and play and have a workcation than Turtle Bay,” explained Annett.
About 70 employees traded in the brisk air of Portland for sunny skies on the Fabled North Shore of Oahu.
“Because we’re an e-commerce company we are quite virtual. We were able to set up internet lines and customer service lines here, so really it’s just been work as normal and our members, our consumers don’t notice a difference.
“We’re still offering great daily products on our site, our vendors are stoked that we’re here, always asking if they can get a job at TheClymb,” explained Annett.
But why Turtle Bay Resort? As mentioned earlier, this is the second year TheClymb.com has come to work at Turtle Bay. Annett says it’s not only how accommodating the resort is for meetings and work but the adventures offered on property and the North Shore.
“As far as Turtle Bay goes it’s been amazing. Every day we’ve been closing down the office at 1 or 2 o’clock and we hit the beach. You know there’s people that are out there surfing ripping it up in the line-up. There’s people that are just taking surf lessons for the first time.
“There’s people on the Stand Up boards, it’s a great scene out here for Stand Up Paddling. Snorkeling has been amazing. We also have people just laying by the pool relaxing having a good time.
“We’ve got guys that did the two mile walk down to one of the private little pools on property, we got people that hiked Waimea Valley to the waterfall. We have people today, I think there’s 20 people jumping out of an airplane. So we’ll see how that goes, ask me tomorrow how many enjoyed that!”
Adventure doesn’t stop when the sun sets.

“One of the great things about being here at Turtle Bay Resort is Surfer, The Bar. For us Chris and Julia and Vince- one of the bartenders there has absolutely been so good to our crew and just the fact that it’s the original Surfer, The Bar I mean it’s so on brand with us and what we do and we sell Surfer publications on our website so we’re really stoked to make that connection and have such a great lobby compared to some of the other lobby bars out there,” said Annett.
