Great intro to surfing
We had a great time learning the basics of surfing. Devon was fantastic and would be a great instructor for any level of surfing. Of course, Mother Nature decides if you have great waves or not. Ours were lackluster but still super fun. Make sure you put sunscreen on the back of your legs!

Excellent Experience
These surf lessons were top notch. My 18 and 17 year olds loved their experience, from the on land instructions, to the in the water experience all details were A+. The photos were amazing also and I’m forever thankful to have them as a keep sake. I highly recommend!

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!

Fun surf lesson - caught lots of waves
We had a great experience with surf shack! Our instructor was Nani who was great - very clear and patient. They provide rash guards and water shoes, which was great bc the cove was quite rocky. We went with our kids ages 12 and 14 and everyone caught multiple waves! This was our second time trying but the kids enjoyed this better than Waikiki. The cove is shallow, water is warm, the waves were gentle and rolling. Each instructor has 4-6 people so everyone had a turn every few minutes. We would definitely come back!

A MUST BOOK EXPERIENCE! 3 kids ages 8, 11, 13 raved about it & the instructors weee FANTASTIC!!
Absolutely phenomenal experience. Ricardo & Kingston helped our 3 kids so well, ages 8, 11 & 13. Nick was so easy to work with & really impressed us. It was such a personalized experience tailored on the spot to our kids, who are all so different. One of our kids would need a little extra TLC & we were unsure how they’d like surfing. Every single kid was ALL SMILES & raving about when can we go again. It felt very safe, which was importantly to us. 100% ABSOLUTELY book this experience. The kids liked this better than snorkeling, ziplining or swimming in the pool! THANK YOU NICK, KINGSTON & RICARDO for making the trip so special.

Highly recommend! 🌊🏄♂️
We had the best time at our surf lesson today! The instructors were incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. They put a big emphasis on safety, which we really appreciated, especially as beginners.
They were so patient and encouraging, and made sure every single person in our group got up on a board (which felt amazing!). You could tell they genuinely cared about us having a great experience, not just getting through the lesson.
It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip We were all smiling the entire time. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about trying surfing!

First time surfing for my...
First time surfing for my son and me. My daughter’s second. We absolutely loved it!!! I didn’t think I’d be able to stand, but we all did! Scott and Braden didn’t waste any time teaching and gave us all as many times to catch a wave as possible in 90 mins.

Do it!!
10/10 experience. Sadly, we had the start time wrong, thankful Ramon gave us a quick call and we were able to still come 20min in. He gave a super helpful introduction to surfing prior to going into the water and went over safety precautions as well. Once we were able to properly get up on the board we got into the water. We had perfect weather and a bunch of waves. We got up almost every time and he made sure to give advice when needed. Honestly coolest guy and worth trying. We got some sick photos as well that we did end up getting. That is a separate charge but worth for almost 100photos.
If you’re considering doing a private lesson or group lesson, do private. We had a couple groups next to us as well that didn’t have as much success as us but they had 2 instructors to 8 people.
Can’t stress enough how worth this experiences was.

Best day of our trip!
We booked a private surf lesson for myself, our 2 sons and our 8 and 10 year old grand son and daughter. Z our instructor was patient, positive and had us riding the waves just like the locals (well, sort of) within our first 30 minutes. There's a photographer there who took a ton of great photos which we happily purchased. Highly recommend if you want to have an epic time on your vacation

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.

Learn to love surfing in 2 short hours
Sophie and Jessica were fabulous. They were friendly and encouraging and made learning to surf easy. My 11 year old had a permanent smile on his face. They taught us how to get up on land and then took us out in the water. They maneuvered the boards into place for us and told us when to paddle and to get up so we could focus on technique rather than timing at first. As we improved they let us figure out the timing a bit more independently while still helping my 11 year old to paddle back out rather than exhausting himself with paddling. It was a great way to spend a morning.

This was my first time...
This was my first time surfing and to my surprise I caught several waves! Javier was great at teaching and breaking down how to do every step to make sure I succeeded. Even when I wiped out he was still very encouraging. If it’s your first time or not, I definitely recommend.
