Fun surfing lessons in Maui - We had a wonderful surf lesson with our very friendly instructor. It was the first time my kids (ages 9 and 12) surfed - they both enjoyed it and were able to catch several waves. The location in Kihei was ideal and the morning session had good waves. At the end, we got certificates, hats and many memorable photos. Highly recommend Maui Waveriders for surfing lessons in Maui!

Great fun to experience how to surf! - My nephews who are in their 20s and 30s and my granddaughter who is 13 all went on this adventure. They had a blast! We were able to watch from the beach area and swim too. Even though they looked like they were far out, it wasn't that deep so you didn't have to wear a life jacket when learning. Highly recommend this activity!

So good we booked again - Two teenagegirls aged 14 and 17 went out with Kepa and had so much fun we booked another lesson a few days later. Having never surfed before we were quite amazed to see both girls get up on the board in the first attempt - with broad smiles on their faces. Super friendly and caring staff, and all instructors were super engaged. The girls had a lot of photos taking by a photographer associated with Maui Waveriders and the pictures were awesome and we bought them as an extra memory. Nice gear and a good quiet beach for first timers. Go only in the morning to have it less crowded. Kepa rocked!

Awesome surf lesson - Our surf coach Eddie was amazing and gave my daughter and I the basics to get up on the surfboard. We both got up very quickly out in the water and had an amazing day riding the waves. I would highly recommend Maui Waveriders for your surf lesson.

Great time! - This was such a fun experience! This was the first time my husband and I were trying surfing. Collin was a great teacher and got us up on waves each time we went out. He offered tips and challenges to give us a memorable experience, and to allow us to succeed. We would recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

Zen Surf Lesson - We had THE BEST experience learning to surf with May Wave Riders. Our instructor was Kazuma and all five of us got up multiple times. It wasn't just a great lesson, it was such a zen experience. He had a very calming effect and made everyone feel so relaxed and confident which took the fear and nerves away. We definitely recommend them! They have a great system and provide all the appropriate gear to help you succeed!

2 Children, Different personalities - The first day we went at 11:30 am. The waves were choppy but both kids got up and rode waves in (one an over-exuberant 8 yo and the other a reluctant 15 yo). They learned good basics. The 2nd day we came at 9 am on the advice of the instructors. The waves were much more orderly and calm. The kids had many successful rides to shore. Kudos to both instructors, Kepo and Collin, for dealing with both personalities.

You won’t regret it! One of our favorite experiences in Maui! - If you’re at all considering surf lessons, you can’t go wrong with MWR in Kihei! They are such an honest business that puts the customer experience first. We had excellent training sessions with two different instructors Noah and Andrew! Both were super personable, patient and helpful coaches. Special thanks to Noah for rescheduling for us early in the morning. Such good people! You will have a blast learning with the Maui Wave Riders!!!

Fun Day Surfing! - We had a blast learning how to surf with Maui Waveriders! It was our first time surfing and our instructor Gitan was super helpful and made it easy to learn! It was a great start to our morning and there are many restaurants nearby to grab lunch afterwards. We highly recommend booking surf lessons with Maui Waveriders for your next adventure!
