Privately Booked
All lessons are privately booked to ensure a quality, comfortable, and personalized surfing experience. We take you away from the crowds to our private surfing beach where you will feel relaxed, confident, and ready for the waves.

Everyone can do it.
We are so confident you will stand up during your first lesson that we guarantee it- or your next lesson is free! Whether you are a beginner looking to catch your first wave or ready to hone your skills and technique to take your surfing to the next level our instructors are qualified and dedicated to helping you do so.

Lesson Plan
Surf lesson includes a 10-15 minute water safety briefing, along with a demonstration on best ways to paddle on your surfboard, get into waves, and stand up and stay up! After paddling out together, your surf instructor will be there to coach and guide you into the wave! Focus is on correct wave etiquette, style, and technique.

All Inclusive
Our prices include full instruction and everything you’ll need. Your very own Maui raised instructor, a long sleeve SPF 50 rash guard, surf shoes, state of the art beginner board, and all taxes & fees. All you need to do is bring sunscreen, a camera, and water- we handle the rest!
