Made grandson’s day!

This was my grandson’s activity. He was so nervous to do this but after meeting Mike and the safety lesson, he was so excited. Mike aka Uncle Mike was incredible in his instruction and making the students comfortable. For a kid that didn’t want to do it at all bc he was so scared, he was wanting to go surfing every day after his lesson with Mike. The girls that do the check in and photography was awesome too. Over all a terrific experience. Would definitely recommend it.

Surf Shack Maui

The Surf Shack was great, my son and I took lessons with Viking and he had us up and surfing in no time. If you’re visiting Maui you gotta hit up the Surf Shack for lessons!

Family surfing

I wasn’t one of the surfers but my family of 8 said it was a lot of fun and enjoyed it. I was a spect from the shore and saw that they all got up.

Wave Rider in the making

The class was sooo much fun! Mikey was a great instructor and I rode so many waves. I was sure I could not do but did and now I’m hooked! Best experience ever!!

Great for first-time surfers like me!

Surf Shack was very professional and organized in how they ran their process. They split us up into smaller groups of 5 (my group had 5 anyway) so that we had more attention from each of our individual guides. Our guide, Mike, was awesome. He was very thorough and knowledgeable, and made sure we understood everything we needed to in order to have a fun and safe time... thank you, Mike! They had someone take photos of the experience which were available for purchase afterward, I decided to purchase the full package and got accused of using AI to generate them by friends... that's how good they were! (or how much they didn't believe I could surf lol) The only thing I wish is that the waves we surfed were a little bigger, but that's beyond anyone's control. It was also a bit crowded at the spot we surfed but it's Maui in June so to be expected. All-in-all the experience gets a well-deserved 5-stars and we recommend Surf Shack to anyone who wants a great first-time surfing experience!

Amazing Experience!

We had an amazing experience from start to finish: my family of 5 had the sweetest and cutest instructor, Sofia! She was so great with my kids, knowledgeable and patient and got them all up and surfing quickly!!

Had a great time and Austin, our instructor, was patient and helpful. Highly suggest wearing clothing that protects the knees. We didn’t think about scraping our knees against the board while getting on. I highly recommend this place.

Surfing Kihei

Very good experience - my two daughters got plenty of waves to surf on. Instructors (Olivia and Austin I think) were great!
