Awesome Surfing Instructions!

Sheri_K, Apr 2024

Mike is a wonderful instructor! I actually stood up & surfed at 70 yrs old! I will recommend booking his lessons to my friends who visit Maui!

Best part of the trip!

Raul_R, Apr 2024

The surfing lessons were so much fun. One of our kids went in hating it because he's scared of the ocean but loved it by the end of the lesson turned out to be his favorite part of the trip. We owe all to the instructor Tobias he made sure it was really fun for the kids and that they felt safe and always involved with everything. He had great energy and was a total pro. We loved this as a family and the surf lessons were easily the best part of our trip. They will get you stand by the end!!

Surf day

Taia_E, Apr 2024

So fun! Our instructor was very experienced so we learned a lot and were able to do it on our own by the end! Recommend this!!!

My new passion

erika_C, Apr 2024

Had a lot of fun and discovered my new passion for something I wished I had started as a child living in Cali

Go do it

Simon_B, Apr 2024

Great instructor Tobias. Amazing weather and cool photos afterwards. Recommend if you want to try surfing!

Great surf experience in Maui - for all ages!

Holly_H, Apr 2024

Everything went smoothly and our kids learned to surf! The instructors were really nice and encouraging. The booking process via Viator was seamless. My 13 year old daughter and her friend had a blast and wanted to surf again the next day. We also loved that they took photos - a photographer was in the water with the crew and got great shots. The purchase price was reasonable esp since we were splitting with our friends.

Good fun, kids enjoyed....

Neha_K, Apr 2024

Good fun, kids enjoyed. It was a bit crowded as there were other groups taking lessons as well. Wish that could have been avoided.

Family surf fun

Valentine_W, Apr 2024

Great time! Perfect for our family of 6. We all were surfing by the end. Mike was a great instructor. The photographer got some beautiful shots. Thank you!

The instructors were fun...

Stephanie_C, Apr 2024

The instructors were fun and supportive the entire experience. This was a great time foe the whole family, we had 7 with us. The smallest was 9 and he had no issues as he just started learning to swim. They take time to give instruction on land and then you partner up to carry the boards out to water. The whole family had a great time! Book lessons, it's worth it!

Surfing - woohoo!

Patricia_P, Apr 2024

So much fun! I can see why people fall in love with surfing. Joaquin was very thorough with instructions and practice on the grass before we ventured into the water. With his superb instruction and assistance catching the wave both of us got up on our boards; 66 and 13 years old. It was fantastic! After catching the last wave we had turtles swim below our boards as we paddled in. So cool.

Great experience!

Cindy_W, Apr 2024

The experience was fantastic. Great instructors. I would definitely recommend them. Everyone had a really good time.

Great Family Experience Surfing!

Tori_K, Apr 2024

We booked surf lessons for our 6 yr olds birthday and our first time to Maui. Purchasing was easy, we got emails and text messages with updates which was nice. We got there a little early and they got us started early which was great, we beat some of the crowds. Our instructor Sofie was amazing. Really personable, easy going and a great teacher. Our 3 boys and my husband each caught multiple waves and had a blast! They did have a photo package that was an add on at the end and wasn’t a required purchase, photos were amazing and we ended up getting them!

Highly reccomend-even if you don’t plan to surf again. That good.

Paul_S, Apr 2024

Francisco and Sophia were truly great!! I really wish we had more time to do a second lesson but time was limited on our vacation. My kids are 9 and had a great time. They only lasted an hour (out of two), but they want to do it again.

Amazing for kids

Jennifer_A, Apr 2024

The experience was amazing for my kids and husband. Sophia was an amazing instructor. Kids felt safe and were able to get up quickly. She had them on so many rides. Highly recommend and request Sophia!

Absolutely wonderful

Amanda_L, Mar 2024

Fran was super personable and made sure everyone in his group was on a board and surfing by the end of the lessons!

Standing up on the board for the first time and riding the wave. Catching several big waves and riding them to the beach was a blast.

The instructor was great...
