I can't say enough great things about him, so I'm just going to say this: if you really want the best of the best, get in touch with Troy. I didn't think I would make this much progress in my 5 lessons with Troy, but I did and I couldn't be more happier and satisfied. He really is an excellent coach and I look forward to getting more sessions with him to learn more advanced techniques and tricks when I next visit Maui. Troy if you're reading this, you're the man!!

Wing Foil Lessons with HST: Private Beginner Lesson (five days in a row in early March)…read more Pro: Expert 1:1 instruction (Art is a super patient/friendly water man who eventually got me pumping and completing full foil runs upwind). His teaching was on the beach and doing demos in the middle of the harbor sailing next to me. Choice of up to date wings/boards/foils immediately available on the beach for swapping. Scenic Maui Harbor teaching location has totally flat water/consistent strong wind (20-35 mph)/world class wing foil sailors practicing tricks/cute sea turtles/no current/no navigation hazards Student foils downwind, and instructor carries or efficiently foils the board back up the beach (repeat) Safety first (helmets/impact vests provided, many warnings to not go too far downwind or hit the beach at speed) Con: Sadly, you have to go home eventually. I scraped up my knees and shins the first day touching the foil and sailing too long on the sandy deck with one leg down and one leg up. At Art's suggestion, I bought a farmer john wet suit at Second Wind for $100 and used it for the next four days with no more abrasions at all. I went to Maui specifically to learn to wing foil with HST, and I was completely satisfied. Every day, I made major incremental progress, and on the last day was foiling in steady 20 - 35 mph wind on a 4.0 Meter sail. I am certain I have the skills to safely make it back to my launch point when I sail at my home location in San Francisco Bay. Even though I am an experienced high-wind windsurfer, I never would have figured this sport out without Art's immediate in person feedback/corrections. I did months of rowing machine fitness training for this trip, and that really paid off. Watching you tube videos was quite useless it turned out since I could not execute in real life any of the skills I had been viewing.

I would do this day in and day out if I could! What an absolute treat especially with our guide…read moreTyler. I really wish I had a crisp $100 bill to tip him with. He was incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth, and vibed well with my daughters. He went with the flow and was considerate of giving me (as the mom) time to enjoy the scenery and nature as well as tending to the comfort of my daughters. We kayaked first & then snorkeled. He was not forceful when one of my kiddos was reluctant to spend time in the water. I do wish they had prescription googles and can understand how this would be challenging. Tyler also took photos and air dropped them to us which was such a gift! I was not expecting that at all! Thank you! It was a fantastic workout and yet so peaceful & calm paddling the Pacific & swimming with the turtles. I was completely able to disappear into Mother Nature with an incredible sense of awe and wonder we often lose sight of as adult. We hope to do this again and again when we return to Maui!

My family of 5 adults really enjoyed our kayaking adventure. Rabbit was our guide and even though…read morethe waves looked scary on the launch and return he kept us calm, collected and guided us all safely out to sea and back to shore. Rabbit is knowledgeable, lots of fun and extremely diligent, I could tell he took our safety very seriously. South Pacific provides everything you need to kayak and snorkel, so plan to leave your personal items in the car (including your phone). All the equipment was in good shape and he fitted us individually. Our group was small, 8 adults total including Rabbit. Plan to pair up based on ability, it was a good paddle, not hard for an adult, but you would want to pair up littles with adults on the tandems (2 people kayaks). We enjoyed seeing whales close by and it was a great time for everyone. Get there early, parking is limited and don't forget your sunscreen. I would also recommend the long sleeve SPF shirts to avoid sunburn while on the water, they are inexpensive at the Walmart and/or Ross on Maui. You are gonna love it...our favorite Maui memory!!!

Todd is a real Maui treasure. My daughter (age 11) and son (age 9) took their first surf lessons…read morewith Todd and a special appearance by his son during our spring break trip. This old man also gave it a roll but I will say surfing definitely does not come naturally to me and I will need plenty of additional lessons. We have always admired the surfing spots along the main Kihei drag but definitely noticed how crowded the the good spots would get with kids/adults taking lessons. Todd was in touch with us several days before our meeting time and let us know based on the conditions that we would meet anywhere between Kihei and Lahaina. While this is a a wide expanse of possible beaches it was well worth being surprised the night before with the perfect beach for the kids to take their first surfing lessons. Todd was all set at 8 am for our lessons with a perfect spot that was not very crowded and both of my kids rode multiple waves on the first day. I was wiped out and would have been fine not taking another lesson as every muscle hurt, my kids insisted they had to do another 2 hour lesson with Todd. It was even better the second day, my kids gained so much confidence hanging out in the waves, understanding where the wave breaks and how to balance and hang ten. Todd is great with kids, he brings a serenity from having lived so many years in Maui and taking up surfing later in life. Make sure to hit Uhlulani's for shave ice right after.

We were recommended to see Todd for beginners surf lessons by our travel guru Stacey with Elite…read moreTravel. She has never led us wrong and her advise is Jedi like. We had 2 families with 5 kids aged 10-8 years old. No surfing experience. Todd is the Wave Whisper!!! Todd and his son Bear were exceptional in getting all of the kids up in the first hour !!! Mind you, 2 of the kids don't really like water ... Extremely patient with instructions and teaching water skills Not only did he know the waves but also sought out perfect locations with soft sand --- no sharp coral or sea urchins!!!! To top it off, Todd is perfecting his gourmet cookies for an post surf delight. Look no further than Todd the Wave Whisper !!!!
