Make sure Sophie is there as one of your instructors!!
We had a large group of 7 of mixed ages from 5th grade to adults. Everyone was able to stand at some point on the board. Our instructor, Sophie, was super helpful and amazing!! She was so awesome - she is the only reason I am leaving a positive review because she worked HARD! We enjoyed ourselves out in the water. Our pictures were pretty awesome too. Thanks for a great time!

Great Lesson
The surf experience was great. The waves were perfect for learning. Both my son and daughter were able to get up on their boards and the photographer caught everything!
J
Not the best experience
The surfing was fun but we did not have the best instructor, he was not super helpful especially if you are a first-timer like ourselves. He did not explain instructions very well and was not helpful once we were in the ocean what so ever. We actually had a local who helped us more. There was a photographer however and she was great. Overall I would not recommend this to someone or do it again.

Best surf for the money
We highly recommend using Maui Surf Shop. Our kids had never surfed before and their instructor Bear was amazing with them. He made sure they had a wonderful experience and over all it was fun for them.

Amazing first surf lesson!
Father/ son trip to Maui and had a blast for our first surf lesson. The guides made it super accessible and fun. Worth every penny!

Ivan was great! So fun!
Ivan was wonderful! My family of 4 (including 2 kids) all had so much fun and felt safe. We were all able to stand up within the first couple of tries. It was a fun new experience for all of us. We can’t wait to do it again!

🏄 Great first experience
I had my first surfing experience in Kihei, and it was such a great experience! I had no experience or knowledge about surfing, but Austin was an amazing instructor—very patient, helpful, and encouraging. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable on the board. I learned so much and had a lot of fun. Definitely recommend! 🌺🏄♀️🤙
