Semi-Private Surf Lesson in Kihei

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.
