Kalama Park (Located in Kihei, near Wailea)
Eddie stands out as an exceptional instructor who consistently gets first-timers standing on their board, often on the very first try. Reviewers rave about his ability to tailor lessons to different skill levels simultaneously, whether teaching a nervous beginner alongside an experienced snowboarder, or guiding a 65-year-old and her 30-year-old daughter in the same session. He's praised for his calming presence, patience, and ability to teach proper technique beyond just the basics, including surfing etiquette and how to progress independently. Summer handles booking and receives kudos for being responsive and accommodating, even fitting in last-minute lessons when other companies are fully booked. The location at Kalama Park and The Cove offers ideal conditions for learners with consistent, gentle waves and shallow water. Families particularly appreciate the personalized attention, noting this isn't a mass group lesson approach. Multiple reviewers return year after year, and several mention the experience created lasting memories. Professional photos are available for purchase, which many found to be a nice touch. The overall vibe is genuinely welcoming and captures that authentic Aloha spirit, making the lessons feel less like a tourist activity and more like learning from locals who truly care about your experience.
We had a wonderful experience learning to surf with Eddie. But I would be remiss if I didn’t note that his wife reached out the week prior due to the weather forecast and proactively moved our lesson up. Neither myself or my son (12) had surfed before and to be honest - I was nervous! Eddie put my fears at ease (my son had no fears!) and taught us basic steps on land and then we were off to the water to catch some waves and hopefully get up on our boards. My son took off first wave - easy up and he was a champ the entire time. Eddie even taught him how to do a 180 which he executed flawlessly. I was up on my 3rd run and with that - a surfing bug was caught and I know my son and I will definitely be back when in Maui to take more lessons. Thank you, Eddie, for the patience, lessons and helping us learn a new skill. Mahalo!
