We had the BEST experience with Maui Waveriders Kihei, and George completely made it unforgettable…read more From the start, George went above and beyond to make our lesson feel personal and tailored to us. It honestly felt like a private lesson. He took the time to understand our different skill levels and customized everything so we both felt comfortable, challenged, and successful. What stood out just as much as his skill as an instructor was how genuinely kind and respectful he was. As an LGBTQIA couple, we felt completely welcomed and at ease, which meant a lot and made the experience even more special. George is not only an incredible instructor, but someone who truly cares about making sure you have a great time and get full value out of your experience. We both walked away feeling confident, accomplished, and so happy we chose this company. If you're booking, ask for George. You won't regret it.

I'm a little more experienced than a beginner so I wasn't looking for a full lesson. I wanted someone to paddle out with me and give me some guidance in the lineup. Sean quickly understood the assignment and made the session perfect. He also helped push my husband into some great waves while still giving me the support I wanted. We also did the photo package. Our photographer (also named Sean) got so many great shots. To top it off the woman owner gave me a hat for my birthday which I loved wearing for the rest of the trip. Thank you surf club Maui, the owner, and both Seans for making my birthday morning so special. We can't wait to come back!

He spent a lot of time making sure we understood the board, perfected different standing techniques, and felt comfortable enough to head out into the water. The both of us actually stood up on our first wave and were riding a majority of them the rest of our lesson. Anton made sure to keep giving us feedback the entire time and was constantly helping us. He was also very knowledgeable about the island and the ocean, plus very personable. The lesson was 2 hours and they provided the board (obviously), rash guard shirt, and water shoes because of the rocky ocean floor. Definitely recommend this place!

Shout out to Mikey who was a great surf instructor for my husband and kids. They had a great time…read moreand Mikey was great from the dry land lessons to getting them out on the water and giving them tips and techniques to ensure they got up on their boards and got surfing! They were pretty tired when they got back but that just means they got to ride a lot of waves in! My daughter said surfing was one of her favorite activities of the trip. The company was easy to find in the parking lot and they offered the option to tip digitally which we appreciated. We also purchased the optional photo package so got some great photos of our group on the water.

We booked through Viator and for two people ( my husband and I) was $216.00…read more Pros: very responsive information sent by text including pictures of where to meet. We found the spot easily and the van. Once we checked in, we filled out the waiver, fitted with a sun shirt and water shoes. We were also given a mesh bag to put our belongings in and this was put in their van. We were in a group of 6 people total and our guide was Mikey. Mikey went over the basics and had us practice on dry land and then we were off. It was only waist deep and most of the ocean floor was sand, with a few rocks, so the water shoes came in handy. Mikey found a wonderful area for us to ride waves on Kalama Beach and was very encouraging and positive. He'd tell you exactly what to do and when to do it to successfully surf. I am the least athletic person and I stood up on my first wave. Best of all, we saw a lot of turtles! I could have stayed all day and just enjoyed the turtles. Surfing is exhausting and I had a hysterectomy 6 months ago. When I wanted to just cheer people on, there was no pressure to get back out there. It was at my own pace. I really appreciated that. There is also a photographer to purchase pictures and we bought those as well for $120.00. $90.00 for 1 person and $120.00 for two. It will be 48 hours or so until those come in digitally. Gratuity isn't included, so we brought cash. If you need to, there is also a digital way to tip your instructor. If you use this company, ask for Mikey. He's a great teacher and very enthusiastic with his small group. Con: on the Viator website it lists "light refreshments", which wasn't offered. If I had to do it again, I'd skip Viator and book directly with the company. If you book directly with the company it's $88.00 per person.

We did a semi-private lesson with Coach Shaun and wow - that was an amazing experience!…read more To start off, about a week before our session, Coach Brian texted us a welcoming and detailed message with all the information we needed for a successful lesson (meetup location, time, how and where to park, etc). On the morning of our lesson, we got to the spot early and Coach Shaun started our session right away. He was incredibly informative and detailed with his instruction, and before we knew it, we were headed out to the water. It was an absolutely perfect spot to learn: perfect weather, warm waters, great learning-sized waves, and good company! Coach Shaun was very patient and understanding. If and when he noticed something in our posture or stance that we needed to fix for a better experience, he was very informative and did a great job showing/telling us how to improve. Out of our whole trip to Maui, I think this was hands-down our favorite part! We'll definitely be back. Mahalo!‍‍

We were made feel like family from the moment we booked - getting a text from Brian almost immediately to let us know all the details and what to expect. When we arrived, we were comfortable and confident given Shaun's expertise and knowledge! We paid for the photos (do NOT skip this, trust me!!) so Brian was already out in the water waiting for us. Shaun and Brian both gave such great feedback the whole lesson, truly wanting us to have the best experience. We caught several waves and felt super confident and accomplished by the end. We can't thank Brian and Shaun enough for the amazing time and can't wait to work with them again when we return! Mahalo to you both!
