One of the highlights of our trip! - Got surf lessons for my 12 year old nieces and they loved it!! The best part of their trip they said! Process was easy to book and even easier in person. With it being their first time surfing, the girls were nervous but their instructor made them feel safe and confident and they did great! They have a photographer there too that takes pictures for you to purchase if you want. Easy to sit at the park and watch them catch waves. Great experience all around!! Thank you!!

5 Stars!!! - This was easily one of our favorite experiences on Maui. We have a family of 6 so it was nice to have a lesson all together. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our instructor “Wave Daddy” was a fantastic teacher and our kids had a blast learning to surf. The cove was a perfect spot for beginners. The pictures from the experience turned out awesome too. I would highly recommend this company anyone looking for some fun on your vacation.

10/10 experience! - We had an excellent experience with Maui Waveriders. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our instructor, Andrew, was phenomenal! He made it his mission that we stood on our boards and surfed! To our surprise, photos of us surfing were available for purchase at the end of the lesson!

Fun morning with the family - Our family of 3 had a great experience with Keppa. He was so encouraging and positive. The location was perfect for beginners, though a little crowded. The surf shop was just across the street, so easy to carry equipment and make the most of our time. Bonus that Kihei food oasis is just a few blocks away for lunch afterwards.

Perfect for starters - The teachers are very friendly and helpfully. At the beginning we were a little bit afraid of our first surf lesson. But after few minutes in the water the doubts are blowen away. It was an life changing experince. You have to trust the process and relax. Don‘t force anything ;) - mahalo! Greetings to our teacher wave daddy ;)
