    The instructors here consistently deliver exceptional experiences for complete beginners and families alike. Names like Kea, George, Ole, Kekoa, and Kazuma come up repeatedly, with reviewers praising their patience, clear teaching style, and ability to get first-timers standing on boards faster than expected. The location in Kihei offers ideal beginner-friendly conditions with shallow, gentle waves that help nervous learners feel comfortable quickly. Many families mention booking both kids and adults, even grandparents in their 60s, with everyone finding success and having a blast. What really stands out is the welcoming, fun atmosphere the entire staff creates. People describe feeling like they're learning from friends rather than just hired instructors, with teachers offering local tips and genuinely engaging with families. The professional photos are a hit, and the convenience of being right across from the break makes everything seamless. Several reviewers mentioned returning year after year or rebooking additional lessons because the experience exceeded expectations. The team's flexibility with scheduling and genuine care for safety round out an operation that clearly knows how to make surfing accessible and memorable for all ages and skill levels.

    Our children (age 6, 9) and my husband tried the surfing lesson here. My 6 year old had a private lesson with Noa, and my husband and a 9 year old had a semi private lesson with Kekoa. They had an amazing time! It was an absolute first time for our daughters to try surfing but the beach was very shallow and they were not scared. The teachers were so engaging and encouraging! Noa would clap for her every time she was able to stand on the board, and Kekoa was showing her really cool moves to keep it fun! Both of our kids said it was the best part of their Maui trip!! The professional photos they took for us were great quality also!
