Very friendly and helpful staff. They were very welcoming making the lesson amazing and helped me learn a lot. I would absolutely recommend and would take another lesson again. Finding the location was easy as a good link on the map was given. Although, the marked location on the map was in an unexpected location making it confusing to find. After the lesson I was able to get gorgeous pictures too!

Mario was awesome. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience despite me being in my 50's, overweight, and totally non athletic!

I had the best experience learning to surf with Ramon! From the very beginning, he was encouraging, patient, and made me feel completely at ease. He explained everything so clearly and gave me the confidence to trust myself and just go for it. His energy is so positive and motivating—it truly felt like he believed in me every step of the way. By the end of the lesson, not only was I standing up on waves, but I was smiling so hard my cheeks hurt! I left feeling proud, empowered, and excited to keep surfing. Ramon made the whole experience fun, uplifting, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for an instructor who will boost your confidence and make you feel amazing out on the water, he’s the one!

Best instructors for surfing in Maui! Austin is one of the instructors and he provides the best information and tips about surfing that makes you catch waves at your first try on your own. They also provide photos of you surfing which is great to keep for your memories. Highly recommended.

What an amazing experience! Mario helped explain everything in great detail on the beach. Then we hit the waves. He helped me so much and was awesome to talk to on the water. I highly recommend this excursion if you want to learn how to surf. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Maui.

I booked this experience for my husband and he loved it! He has surfed many times but it was his first time in Hawaii. He appreciated the 1 on 1 lessons and learned a great deal even though he wasn't a beginner. His teacher was fun and helped him catch some great waves. It made surfing other days on Maui more fun because he took lessons on his first day!

Pooja_P, May 2023
I loved this experience! It was my first time surfing ever and I couldn’t have asked for better people to teach me!! My instructor was Matias and he was super encouraging! He had amazing tips and got me up on the board. The other instructors Pierce and Mario were also super supportive when I caught a wave. I loved how comfortable it was with everyone. I highly highly recommend! Even if you don’t know how to swim or swim well they got your back.

As an older lady, I’m not able to go as fast nor do as much as most kids. But my instructor at “Keep it Simple” was so patient with me. He let me set the pace of how I needed to go. And he encouraged me all the way. They picked the best spot with gentle waves for beginners.I would do this again!
