    A Yoshiara family is a set of \(q+3\) planes in PG\((5,q),\) \(q\) even, such that for any element of the set the intersection with the remaining \(q+2\) planes forms a hyperoval. \textit{S. Yoshiara} [Eur. J. Comb. 11, 835--406 (1997; Zbl 0890.51011)] proved that such a family rises to an extended generalized quadrangle of order \((q+1,q-1),\) and constructed such a family \({\mathcal S}({\mathcal O})\) starting from a hyperoval \({\mathcal O}\) in \(PG(2,q).\) Assuming some more hypotheses on \({\mathcal O},\) \textit{S. L. Ng} and \textit{P. R. Wild} [Eur. J. Comb. 21, 395--406 (2001; Zbl 0948.51004)] showed that the dual of \({\mathcal S}({\mathcal O})\) is a new Yoshiara family. The authors extend the result of Ng and Wild to any hyperoval of \(PG(2,q).\)
