We signed up for a small group surf lesson with Maui True North Surf Lessons, and it was one of the…read morehighlights of our trip. Brent was absolutely outstanding. One of our children has cerebral palsy, which affects his left side. While he can swim, he's not a strong swimmer, so we were looking for an instructor with experience working with differently abled individuals. Maui Surf Girls School recommended Brent, and we are so grateful they did. Brent was patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled. He managed to give all three of our kids plenty of attention, while also adapting his instruction to help our son succeed. Thanks to Brent, our son was able to stand up on the surfboard, something we weren't sure would be possible. Seeing that happen was an unforgettable moment for our family. The rest of our vacation was spent listening to our kids ask for more surf lessons, which says everything about the experience they had. I would recommend Brent and Maui True North Surf Lessons without hesitation. If we're ever back in Maui, they will be our first call.

My Kitesurf Instructor Martine, was knowledgeable, patient, and easy to understand. He was able to…read moreaccess my initial experience level, and progressed his instructions according to my abilities. At no time was I uncomfortable with the progression of my lessons, the surroundings of where the lessons took place, or the equipment selected for my instruction. I live on the island of Oahu and went to Maui for my lessons because of the better wind and learning conditions available there. Unfortunately due to poor weather I was unable to complete all my lessons before returning to Oahu. If I should return to Maui for further instruction I would definitely contact Action Sports Maui and request to have Martine as my Kitesurf instructor. -tw

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.

Love Yoav's hustle and business model. There's no storefront - he drives to you to deliver and pick…read moreup your board. It's like DoorDash for surfers. He'll show you how to mount the boards on your rooftop and give you tips on where to surf. I called him late on a Mon night and we were surfing by Tue morning. We had our own reef shoes, but he also offered them which are a must for certain surf spots like Launiupoko. He was a little late and had to change our rendezvous spot. But he called/texted to give me updates, and it's pretty understandable given that he's driving around the island dropping off and picking up boards. Like I said, I like his hustle and this is a great alternative to figuring out which surf shop to go to. A tad more expensive than a typical surf shop. But the delivery and pickup makes it very reasonable.

I've been surfing for 40 years and traveling the world and when I go to Hawaii, I sometimes want to rent a few boards, have them delivered to my hotel, and have an easy experience. Yoav delivered really good Surfboards, in good shape with leashes and wax, and even recommended where we should go surfing. This is the best value I received in Maui. I highly recommend Yoav each and every time you go to Maui. Finney family

The lady at check in was lovely and super helpful and the pics we paid for were incredible! (Get the pics - worth it!)
