Exceeded our expectations

Eddie was a great teacher. He had our 10 year old granddaughter surfing within the first 15 minutes which is a real accomplishment, given the fact that we live in Texas nowhere near the water. Waves Hawaii Surf School exceeded our expectations.

Learn to love surfing in 2 short hours

Sophie and Jessica were fabulous. They were friendly and encouraging and made learning to surf easy. My 11 year old had a permanent smile on his face. They taught us how to get up on land and then took us out in the water. They maneuvered the boards into place for us and told us when to paddle and to get up so we could focus on technique rather than timing at first. As we improved they let us figure out the timing a bit more independently while still helping my 11 year old to paddle back out rather than exhausting himself with paddling. It was a great way to spend a morning.

Loved it!

This was such a fun way to spend a morning! Both my daughters (16 and 9) were up on the board and surfing on their first try. Sasha was a great instructor and made sure they had a blast. Parking was super easy and convenient; the photographer got great photos and was also a helpful presence in the water if my younger one needed a push back out into the waves. Easy shore location for others to watch, video, etc. Would definitely do this again on a future trip! The only change I would make would be to start as early as possible. We booked a 930 lesson, which is the busiest time in the water. After we booked they offered us 730, saying the waves and crowds would be better, but we declined it. That was our mistake, but even so the girls loved it!

Mahalo for choosing us! So happy you loved Sascha and the crew! Come and see us next time you are in Maui!

Excellent Surfing experience

Loved it. This was my third time surfing and loved the experience. Instructor ( I think his name is Sam) was amazing. He was calm and patient with me and let me learn it at my pace. I thoroughly enjoyed the Surfing experience and recommend Waves for anyone looking for Surfing lessons. The entire staff is wonderful.
