Just do it!!
Never surfed in your life? Have surfed some but want more guidance? Jace is your guy. I ended up with a solo lesson which was great bc I had never surfed before and knew nothing about it. The location is the perfect spot to learn, as it’s a slightly protected bay so the waves are manageable for a newbie. The bay is a coral reef and there are thousands of beautiful fish just under your board as you paddle, and as the waves build they are also full of fish, which is just the absolute coolest to be literally right above and with the fish. We started w the basics on the sand and then progressed to the water. Jace even provided reef shoes and a rash guard for me to wear (both of which I would never have planned on but were super helpful), and then warm fresh water shower after the lesson and some fresh citrus to help settle my head/stomach bc I got a little seasick. Did the trick. I will def call him again when I come back to Big Island.

Kids had a wonderful experience
This was a safe, low stress way for my kids to have their first surf lesson. Both were exhausted when they got out of the water, but so happy. They couldn’t stop talking about the experience. I got a lot of “did you see me mom???” Also, the kids are older teens and for them to be this happy, you know it was a good experience. Lol

I was convinced there was no way I would be able to get up on a board, but I did! Our whole crew had a fantastic time. In added bonus is there is a photographer to catch the proof! We are considering going back just to rent the surf gear and going back out on our own! Mahalo!

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!

Best surf lessons
Koa, Brady and Andre were awesome at helping our family learn how to surf . They were punctual, and sent me good instructions and maps on how to get there. We were the first group out on the water and got lots of practice time. My son liked it so much that he signed up for a second time the following day. Highly recommend this company.

A must do when in Maui
Wonderful experience with instructor Mac!! We recently left Honolulu and their surf lessons were very over crowded and were watching people dodging each other. Surfing here was very calm and nice to have private instruction without a large group. This is a must do in Maui!

1st time surfing for our family of 5. All the coaches were friendly and helpful. We all managed to catch a few waves. I was impressed that the coaches remembered everyone's name. It was so convent to be picked up and dropped off near our hotel. The photo package is extra but worth it - we got photos and videos of all 5 of us. My 11 year old is so excited to try surfing again.

Austin was awesome, really helped us figure out the right positions to use on the board and how to get started. He coached us through it and by the end both my brother and I figured out how to smoothly stand on the board. The whole experience was super fun and the photos turned out great.

Awesome experience!
What a fun way to spend Christmas Day! Patrick was a great instructor — all the people in our party were up and surfing in no time and had a blast. The organizers were very communicative, and gave clear instructions on where to meet. We had a great time! Mahalo!

Had a blast!
It was amazing! It was an unforgettable private lesson with my family and there was 5 of us total. Andy and John are an amazing team and taught us the basics on how to surf, we all managed to stay on the board by the end of it! I would recommend to everyone who wants to have a good time with their friends and family while learning how to surf! John also took incredible pictures!

Surfing with Danny was amazing! We had alot of fun! They provided us with water shoes, swim shirts, and a surf board! We got up on the first try thanks to Danny's instruction and help! We even saw turtles swimming around between waves. It was an incredible experience. There was even a photographer available for a fee to take photos of us surfing-which turned out amazing.

Exceptional Surff Lesson Must Try Once
I came to this facility because most only allowed semi private lessons or group or if it was private lessons, they cost almost 200 per person. I could get 3 of us in for a private lesson at 123$ each which was less than the others. None of us had surfed before.
We met Trey and Keith, they were excellent and supportative. I had such a great time. I wanted it do it again. I got up a little and Im almost 60 yrs old. If I can do it you can too.. If I lived here Id be taking lessons every day. Im sorry our time ended. I believe Maggie took pictures and she was fantastic at capturing moments and memories.
I waited a day called to book another session and didn't get a call back, this was disappointing, but over all this was the most fun I had. You won't come out pfo, but they will teach you what you need to practice if you want that to be your goal. I at least have the basics and hope to ride a wave with you guys when I come back.
