Awesome - Definitely a personal lesson. Sassan was very patient and very safety conscious. He was great. Kalaheo also, he was very helpful and encouraging. Would definitely recommend them and book again with them. -LV

Coach/teacher, Ann Marie taught the grandkids to ride the waves! - Excellent experience - first time surfers, ages 11 and 9. The coach/teacher was Anne-Marie and she was excellent. Patient with the boys and they were both able to get up and ride the waves several times. We were very pleased with Anne-Marie and with the company – they were very easy to deal with; we recommend rivers to the sea, Anne-Marie and we will contact them next time we are in Maui with the grandchildren.

My two boys, 11 and 13,... - My two boys, 11 and 13, took a morning surf lesson with Conan. Despite us being late (totally my fault), Conan was friendly, fun, and gave them a really useful lesson. They loved it so much that we rebooked with him for another lesson a few days later! One of their favorite experiences on our trip to Maui!

Smiles all around. - Sassan was great. Both kids (11 and 13) got up on the waves several times and had a fantastic time. Sassan was a great instructor. Very patient and fun. We had off and on rain during the lesson… kids had a great time.

Fun times - Got a text early morning from our instructor Eric with a pin to the exact location to meet him. We did lessons for our kids age 10 and 16. He was friendly and helped them catch some good waves. They got to see whales out in the water too.

EXCELLENT Surfing Instructors!! - WOW!! This was one of our kids favorite activities on our cruise! I truly believe the quality of your surf experience has a lot to do with your instructor and if you are lucky enough to get Jess and/or Sharky as your instructor you have hit the jackpot! IMO if you don't have fun, it is all on you, not them! They were both patient individuals that were excellent at explaining the ins and outs of surfing. We booked this activity for our two kids and their SO who are all 21-22 yo and they can't stop talking about surfing and wanting to try it again! Each couple was booked with one instructor, but they decided they wanted to do it together, so they had two instructors for the four of them. They enjoyed doing it this way because they received feedback from two people instead of one. They were all able to get up on their boards which was cool! The beach is not crowded like a lot of beaches where surf lessons are offered, so no worries about "stealing" somebody's wave or being taken out by another surfer. The waves weren't crazy big so it was prefect for beginners. We took an Uber there from the cruise port and ordered an Uber when they were done with no problems. They provided shoes, rash guard, and the board. Communication prior to the lessons was excellent. The kids 100% recommend Jess and Sharky at Rivers to the Sea for surf lessons!! A special thank you to Jess and Sharky for helping our kids and their SO make awesome memories learning to surf in Maui!!
