Keep It Simple Hawaii is a locally owned surf school and private tour company on Maui that believes the best adventures are stress-free. Certified instructors and guides welcome only small, private groups, meeting you at your leve...
This surf school has completely nailed the beginner experience, with a roster of instructors who know how to build confidence fast. Mac, Mario, Austin, Mack, Ramon, Luke, and Curran all get called out by name in recent reviews, and the pattern is clear: these guys are patient, give crystal-clear beach explanations, and have most first-timers standing up on their first or second wave. Mario in particular gets glowing mentions for his joyful energy and ability to calm nervous beginners, while Mac earns praise for his ocean knowledge and wave selection skills. The two-hour lessons feel well-paced, and several reviewers mention being surprised by how much they accomplished in that time. Fisher's photography services add unexpected value, with multiple families deciding to purchase the photos after seeing how well he captured their sessions. The booking process is straightforward, prices are described as reasonable, and instructors throw in local food recommendations as a bonus. Beyond surf lessons, Victoria leads highly praised Road to Hana tours that reviewers call vacation highlights. The whole operation runs smoothly while keeping that relaxed island vibe intact.
Ramon was an excellent instructor. Clear, patient and caring. Our family had an amazing experience. Just wish it was all day and not just 2 hours. We would definitely book again.
