Surfing - Micky was great! It was a safe learning environment with great instructions. His knowledge and patience was appreciated. His assistance with pushing the board to catch a wave was on point. Had a great time.

The description does not... - The description does not lie! Was up and surfing by my second try! This activity is SO fun. Make sure you’re in for an arm workout because it sure is tiring but so worth it! The instructor does an on land demonstration first and then takes you out into the water and finds the best wave for you!

55 and first time surfing. - The whole experience was great. Our teacher, Sofia was the best. Totally friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, warm and down to earth. My friend is less coordinated than me and we both got up and surfed. Success!!! I thought it was going to be harder. But with the right instruction, it was a piece of cake! Muchas Gracias!!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better first lesson! - Such a fun experience and Mike was an amazing instructor! First time surfing and was amazed how quickly everyone in our group was able to stand up and get the hang of it. One of the highlights of our trip to Maui for sure.

Instructor mocking student… it’s a beginner class. - Teacher mocking one of the people in our party in Spanish to the other instructor, about the way someone was holding their hands. My girlfriend speaks Spanish which the instructor didn’t know. It’s a beginner class… obviously people are not going to be doing it perfectly. Super unprofessional and discouraging. Instructor Jae was very patient and helpful. Other teacher not so much.
