Description
Learn to surf in a group setting with our instructors here at Sea Maui Surf! Your group lesson will begin with a land lesson going over ocean safety and beginner level basic steps to learn everything you nee to know on your lesson! As you are in a group setting all participants must have the ability to swim and feel comfortable doing so in the ocean on their own. For participants not comfortable with their swimming abilities (or under the age of 13) We must require you to participate in a private or semi private lesson to not take away from the others experience during the group lesson.

Best Surf School in Maui and Best Teacher Devon
We had an amazing experience with Sea Maui Surf! My wife and I went together, and from the very beginning we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. A special mention goes to Devon, our instructor, who was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, friendly, and encouraging, and his clear instructions made us feel confident in the water right away. He created a relaxed and fun atmosphere while still giving us all the guidance we needed to improve and catch some great waves. You can really tell that Devon loves what he does, and his positive energy made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re in Maui and want to learn how to surf, we highly recommend Sea Maui Surf. And if you can, ask for Devon — you won’t regret it! 🌊🤙 Thank you, Devon, and the whole Sea Maui Surf team for such a great experience and a wonderful memory from Maui!

Surfing USA
I tried surfing for the first time ever in Hawaii! I had such a blast in the group lesson and met a lot of nice people! The instructor’s Devon and Theo were very friendly and knowledgeable about surfing and they were very encouraging to everyone as most of us were all newbies. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to try something new and get out of their comfort zone. I will say it is quite the workout to paddle out to the waves and does get exhausting. If you are aren’t in decent physical shape and very comfortable around the ocean I would caution you for safety to make sure this is something you are comfortable doing. It was a blast and I can’t wait to go back to Maui and try again!

Exhilarating surf course
It was quite an exciting day for us, with lots of wind and big waves. Our instructor Devon made us feel safe at all times and was awesome at helping us catch some waves. Even if standing up was tough due to the big and fast waves, we had an amazing experience and managed to surf a bit! 10/10 would recommend and book again!

What an experience!
Incredible! Went as a small group of friends and Steven and Christian were fantastic teachers! All of us rode the waves! 10/10 recommend!

Great instructional lessons
The instructor was very friendly and helpful to me and my teenage kids. Would definitely recommend. Nothing I would change about the experience.

Overall good
My kids did the 7:30am slot. There were not a lot of opportunities (not a lot of waves) so I would recommend the later slots. Also, my daughter was way behind everyone heading out and they didn’t stick with here or check on her. Did both my kids learn to surf, yes. They asked to rent boards the rest of the trip. But I would suggest a guide at the front and back of the group especially with the younger teens
