Mario was very patient...

Mario was very patient with my two kids who had their very first surfing lesson with him. He made the lesson easy to understand and fun! He made sure they understood all of the safety aspects before letting them get out on the waves. In particular, Mario was very kind to my daughter who was really scared to get out there. They had a blast!

🏄 Great first experience

I had my first surfing experience in Kihei, and it was such a great experience! I had no experience or knowledge about surfing, but Austin was an amazing instructor—very patient, helpful, and encouraging. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable on the board. I learned so much and had a lot of fun. Definitely recommend! 🌺🏄‍♀️🤙

Fun day learning to surf.

My husband and I (50s) and my teen daughter wanted to try surfing. We booked this tour and had a great day. There were 5 in our group. Our instructor showed us how to stand up while on land, then took us to the water. You do have to carry your own board down to the beach and back. Once in the water he gave everyone several chances to catch a wave and help get us going. Such a fun time!

Excellent experience

Booked a private surf lesson for my husband. He’s never surfed before, is 58 years old, and he absolutely loved it! Everyone at this company was super friendly, the instructor was fantastic, and he wants to surf again! The company also rents surfboards, which is great! Definitely recommend!

Highly, highly recommend Keep It Simple!

Mario and Mario (yes two Mario’s) were awesome instructors. Super friendly, really caring with our kids and my wife who was very nervous. They gave us great attention and instructions and we all were able to get up and ride a couple of waves! Highly, highly recommend Keep It Simple!!

Great lesson with the family

Had a great time first time surfing. We all got up on the boards, the instructor was very helpful and went at our pace. It was quite breezy so hard work paddling but the water is nice and shallow so you can walk out a fair way to save energy. Great bonus being able to have the boards until 3pm to practice on your own after but 2 hours was enough for us. Photos were really great and we felt reasonably priced for the quality.

Such a fun experience! Our instructor Zach explained everything easily and showed us what to do and what to expect in the water. Once out in the water he helped us through each wave and was cheering us on. Will definitely be book again. I’ve done another group lesson awhile back near here and this experience was so much better. There is also a photographer that takes pictures!

A trip highlight 🏄‍♀️🤙🌺

Hands down one of the BEST experiences we had in Maui! We did the semi-private surf lesson at Ka’anapali Beach with Island Style Adventures, and it was absolutely unreal from start to finish. If you’re even thinking about trying surfing—go for it. And do it with this crew! Nick was super easy to reach, and helped us reschedule our lesson when the weather didn’t behave. Shawn and Aldo were next-level instructors. Super laid-back, incredibly patient, and just the right mix of encouraging and technical. They made it feel safe, fun, and honestly way easier than I expected. Everyone in our group was up riding waves, and the vibes were pure aloha the whole time. On the ride back to our hotel, our 12 and 14 yo boys were saying “bro I LOVED those guys!” 🙌😌 And Christin—WOW. Not only was she so kind and easygoing, but the photos she captured are priceless. She somehow caught all the best moments (even the ones we didn’t realize were happening), and now we have incredible memories we can actually see forever. What really stood out was how personal the whole experience felt. It never felt rushed or overly “touristy.” Just good people who love what they do and want you to have the best time possible. If you’re in Maui and want something fun, memorable, and totally Hawaiian—this is it. 10/10 would book again in a heartbeat. Mahalo to the whole crew for such an awesome experience!

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.

Great instructor

My college age kids had a great time. They never surfed before, but caught quite a few waves in a short amount of time. The instructor was very positive and fun. They loved that he was so authentic- no show, just teaching them how to enjoy surfing. We felt very lucky to find him on Viator.
