Surf classes are 2 hours long

Surfing is fun in Maui’s warm water! We offer all levels of surfing instruction. Our surf school is located on the island’s most reliable surf spot. This activity can be enjoyed by the whole family. From young kids to old-timers, beginner lessons to advanced, Lessons can be a one-day activity, a camp, private coaching or longer programs are available too. The Maui waves are great for beginners and advanced surfers too.

• All participants must be able to swim, and be comfortable in the ocean. No non-swimmers allowed.
• Minimum age for mixed adult classes is 12 years old.

We supply all the beginner equipment you will need. We have a variety of sizes to accommodate different weight riders. Bigger folks will need more floatation. We provide students with a lycra rashguard shirt, and reef booties for protection. Advanced surfers can rent from our selection of different board styles and types.

Our standard surf lesson is two hours long, this includes some talk time and a short land lesson, before getting into the water and catching some waves. Most people will be fully satisfied (and exhausted) after their surf session.

The lessons are held close to shore in a sheltered bay. The waves break a short distance offshore over a gently sloping reef. This makes the waves predictable and relatively gentle. (These locations do not have large shore-break waves, and are better for beginners). The students will not need to paddle too far from shore to get their rides.

Only minimal paddling is required. The water depth varied from knee-deep to chest-deep. there are deep water sections in the channels, so all surf participants must be able to swim (no exceptions). Parents and spectators can stay on the beach and can get some great views and photos of the action. For safety reasons, Non-surfers should not enter the water at the surfing location.

Surfing is a lot of fun. Learn about safety in the waves and then paddle on to your first one. With some practice, you will be standing up before you know it. We provide all the equipment. Lessons run Monday thru Saturday, year-round. Lesson start times are 8am and 10am. Beginner surfing lessons are held at Kalama Park in Kihei. All lessons are by appointment only. The minimum age for mixed adult group classes is 12 years old. Children’s lessons available for kids 8 years and up.

All summer long we run weekly three-day Surfing camps. We do safety talks, theory, and plenty of water time. 8:00am to 10:00am each day. We provide the gear including a lycra rash guard shirt to wear. Students will be placed in small groups according to their weight and experience level. Students can bring their own reef shoes, towels, and sunscreen. Ages 8 years and up.
