    The entire experience is approximately 2 hours, including both the land lesson and the time spent getting in and out of the water.

    It's completely normal to feel a bit nervous before your first surf lesson. Our instructors specialize in working with beginners and will guide you every step of the way, from basic safety tips to getting comfortable in the water.

    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.

    I highly recommend booking surf lessons with Surf Yoga Maui. These folks capture the Aloha spirit - so warm, welcoming, and helpful all around. Summer is friendly, responsive, and attentive, making it so easy to book lessons tailored to my surfing goals. Eddie is my absolute favourite surf instructor. Having taken surf lessons in various parts of the world, I have progressed the most with Eddie in the span of a week. I even moved on over to an epoxy board and Eddie taught me how to find the appropriate waves for that board and catch it myself this time around! In every lesson, private or group, Eddie is able to tailor his teaching based on the skill level of each surfer and get them standing on that board! Anytime anyone I know is heading to Maui, I’m sending them to Surf Yoga Maui. Looking forward to the next time I can surf with them again!
