Maui's local surf instructors really shine here, with names like Dante, Chad, Kat, and Jedi earning enthusiastic praise from families and first-timers alike. The teaching approach combines quick, efficient land instruction followed by lots of actual water time, which reviewers consistently appreciate. Parents feel confident watching their young kids (even ages 4-7) catch waves with patient guidance, while complete beginners regularly report standing up within their first lesson. The instructors' deep knowledge of local conditions, tides, and reef geography adds both safety and authenticity to the experience. What sets this operation apart is the genuine expertise paired with a welcoming vibe. Beyond basic beginner lessons, they also offer intermediate instruction with pro surfers for those looking to actually improve their technique. The location at the breakwall delivers consistent waves even when forecasts look modest. Extras like photography packages capture the memories, and the friendly shop staff help everyone feel part of the "surfing ohana." Whether it's your first time or you're coming back to refine your skills, the combination of skilled local instruction and genuinely fun atmosphere makes this a standout activity that families specifically mention as a vacation highlight.
We are grateful to have Dante, Conan, Ethan, Keoni, Landen and Blake, who were recommended by our friends who live (and surf) in Maui. These instructors have been surfing in Maui most of their lives, not only are they skillful in surfing and teaching, they know the local tide, reef and wind well. They have kept my 7 and 9 yo daughters, who have never surfed before, very safe. I am impressed that they are able to make surfing so much fun and engaging for my daughters. My favourite part is hearing my daughters laughing with genuine enjoyment and watching their confidence grow as they surf. Surf Maui is a highlight on our vacation.
