Maui Surf Lessons
Surfing on Maui is an experience of a lifetime and one of the top things to do on your trip. Maui Surf Lessons are more than a bucket list item, they can help you develop a deeper connection with the ocean and build confidence. Our hope is that you take your surfing experience with you and continue to surf for the rest of your life!
Private surfing lessons are great for families, kids and couples. Whether you are a first time surfer or haven’t surfed in a while and feeling a little rusty, we can help you feel comfortable in the water and progress in your skills. Your surf instructor will be by your side throughout your lesson, patiently guiding you in proper paddling & stance techniques, etiquette & how to handle your board in every situation.
“Such a great instructor, both my new wife and I were both able to ride some great waves, and we had so much fun! 10 out of 10 would recommend Enzo and can’t wait to get back out!” ~ Ryan, California

Maui Surf Lessons For Kids
Children as young as 8 years old can sign up for surf lessons with a parental waiver. Children must know how to swim and feel comfortable in the ocean. We can teach children under 8 years old, but this is only advised if the student is self motivated and interested in surfing.
Amazing Locations
We surf on the south and west sides of Maui near Kihei and Lahaina where the waves are best suited for beginners, away from busy surf schools. We vary locations depending on conditions to provide the best surf experience possible.
Where We Meet
We conduct our surf lessons at Ukumehame Beach on the western shore of Maui along HWY 30, also known as Honoapiilani Highway. Located between the towns of Maalaea and Olowalu, this location offers perfect conditions for beginner surf lessons with consistent easy-to-ride waves.
