I always prefer to support small entrepreneurs over resorts and this business will not disappoint. I went in to rent a couple of body boards to cruise around the small breaks at the local beaches and not only was the service great, the experience was awesome. Wayno is the proprietor and he greeted us with a smile and an awesome attitude. I will always go out of my way to see Maui Surfboards for any board needs in Maui. read more

Great experience - sorry I didn't ask your name brother! Had everything we needed and more - and I got to give Tucker the dog some scritches, which helps when you're on vacation and missing your own puppers. Thank you so much Man, we appreciate you! read more

Nice place, cool dudes that work there. Great prices. Why the 2 stars? Both bodyboards we rented had leashes that were inoperable. The velcro was so worn out on both of these boards that on the first wave both boards came off our hands. Completely unacceptable, leashes are cheap, why skimp there ? We only could bodyboard one day, and we couldn't bring it back that day for replacement. Just check your leashes with them, put them on and tug on it. read more

Best board rentals! Awesome shop.Lots of board options and great customer service mahalo

Wayne is awesome! He's the nicest, most laid back guy with great conversations while hooking us up with 3 surf boards to rent for 24 hours. Prices are amazing! $25/board. He even threw in a boogie board for free. Every board is named after a woman. We had Baby, Poison Ivy and Mushroom Mary. He gave us a map and shared with us good surf points along the coast to check out given our skill level. Big fan of this place. Just downright friendly and authentic. Oh and sweet Tucker, his dog is a cutie - he even got first billing on their business card. Lol! read more

Wayne is the BEST and we were so grateful to find him on our trip to Maui! From great prices on boards, chairs, and anything else you need there, to guidance on surf lessons and where to find the best waves, Wayne is the man! We look forward to coming back and visiting him in the future... read more

Wayne's been around from when Maui was chill to what it is now. Many visitors understand aloha and respect, many are oblivious. Wayne will tell you what's up. Support Wayne's business and support local businesses, rather than a Walmart type competitor whose owner lives in California. Who can't even surf. Aloha read more

Meeting Wayno and renting a board from Maui Surfboards was a highlight of my trip to Maui. Wayno is the Dude! He is the embodiment of aloha! He treated me (an old kook from Kansas City) like a long lost friend, sharing with me amazing stories about life on Maui going back to 1963. The surfboard I rented was a great price and the surf spot Wayno sent me to was perfect. Oh yeah, and here is an example of the type of guy Wayno is: He asked if my wife would be going to the beach with me, and if so, he wanted to lend us a beach chair (no charge) so that she would be comfortable at the beach. This guy is the best! Wayno also sells a variety of new and antique Ukuleles, including some he beautifully designed himself. Maui Surfboards is a must stop for anyone looking for that true Aloha vibe. Thank you Wayno, you made my trip. read more

I went to Rent Snorkel gear as advertised on there website and was told he only sells the gear. Update your website!!!! read more

10 stars. Wayne is one of the most kind hearted and authentic people I have met in my life. He's a Hawaiian legend and his sweet and jolly energy is Aloha. I'm so happy I was able to cross paths with him and support his business. His rentals are awesome with great products and selection of ukuleles. I think many tourists fail to understand and miss out on the cultural and spiritual importance of the Hawaiian's connection to its people and land. Wayne and his business are a direct extension of this connection. Respect and support local businesses, people, and land. I'm honored to call Wayne my friend now and look forward to returning for more rentals, ukulele sessions, and to hear his stories. Love you! read more

We've driven by Wayne-o's shop many times over the years, but we always had our own snorkeling gear with us and didn't have a need to stop. On our recent visit to Maui, a busted snorkel gave us a reason to swing by Maui Surfboards. Wayne-o took great care of us with exactly what we needed and then some. He's a wealth of knowledge on Maui, surfing and snorkeling, ukulele and slack key guitar, you name it. And he offers up all of that knowledge in a package that's the kindest and friendliest version of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski you can imagine. He even loaned my kids some flotation devices for the week to really get comfortable with snorkeling (which actually gave them the confidence they needed). The next time I'm back on West Maui, I'm headed to see Wayne-o to rent a few boards and maybe pick up a few other goodies. When people talk about supporting local businesses because they're what make up the fabric of a community, this is the kind of place they're talking about. Mahalo plenty! read more

Really nice guy. Cool little shop. Friendly dog. Spent quite a while talking about ukuleles and got some great advice on good local snorkeling spots. I also saw him spend the same time and consideration with several other customers (mostly surfers) while I was there. Ended up going back on our way out of town and buying an old uke from him. I don't know anything about surfing, but he seemed to have a good inventory and knew his stuff. Definitely worth stopping in and supporting a small local business! read more

This place embodies the aloha spirit: friendly and good vibes. The prices are affordable, and there's a good selection of gear. Full disclosure, I'm writing this review as a slightly advanced beginner surfer, so I can't speak to pro needs. Definitely will use them again next time I'm in Ka'anapali. read more

Thanks for helping us out with snorkel gear Ryan! Met up with family friends from California to snorkel off the beaches of Maui. Ryan shared the best and safest places to do so. We couldn't rent gear due to COVID, so we had to buy a kit that includes everything in a nice compact carrying case that we can take home with us. The mask fit snugly around the eyes, not a drop of water gets through and the nose piece sucks on to your nose when you dunk your face in. Good quality gear for $60. Bring cash. read more

Oh my goodness! Maui surfboards is the place to be! The man helping us was the type of person you would want help from! He save us money and time We originally came for a full face snorkel mask!

07.26.2018 Stopped by here to borrow some beach chairs and umbrella. Wayno was super cool and the girls totally loved on his dog, Tuck. Wayno was also from California way back when. Came to Maui and never left. 2 Beach chairs and an umbrella for a week cost us $30. No forms to fill out. Easy transaction and show of aloha. He also gave us a few coupons and recommended food places. read more

Every time we visit Maui, we rent from Wayno. He's a fun surf expert who has lots of great advice of where to go and what to see while you are there. read more

Wayno is literally THE DUDE. So cool Great dude and gave us awesome tips not just about where to snorkel but other island stuff. He's chill AF and a great deal at the shop. Check it out read more

Wayno is the best, he sucks at playing ukulele but let him play anyway Best deals on surfboards and snorkeling gear, I love supporting local businesses while in paradise and showing the locals love . Ask Wayno about other locally owned businesses like best places to eat , shopping and even renting cars ... Thanks Wayno for being so cool read more

Great shop, super friendly, surfboard, SUPs and more. Wayno was kind and friendly, advised us which beaches to be careful on. Too many Karen's writing bad reviews on Yelp. You shouldn't return boards covered in sand. Anyone with half a brain and any Kuleana (responsibility) would know this. Your car rental car agency will charge you if you return it filled with sand. read more

Very disrespectful staff. Possibly just in a bad mood in the the moment, but will never shop here again nonetheless.

Seriously don't not rent from this guy. First of all, he has one price listed on his website than tells you a more expensive price once you are there. Than when we returned the boards, there was sand on them. So he made my boys clean the boards and scrap off all the wax before we could go. He said, " I'm just trying to teach them a lesson. It's an etiquette thing." Well buddy, your business is renting surf boards. And part of that is cleaning them after. I don't think my rental car company will have me clean the car before I return that. I've never written a bad review before today. But this guy deserves it. Again, DO NOT RENT FROM MAUI SURF BOARDS. read more

Rented some boards from these guys, great price, great service, great boards. Everyone working there is super knowledgeable and helpful.

Went here to rent some snorkel equipment! The CEO tucker was the cutest little thing! The owner was super nice. We come to Maui all the time and we will definitely be going back! read more

Wayno was awesome! He helped us quickly and even suggested some additional rental options that made our beach excursions a breeze. Prices were so cheap and the equipment was in good condition. I'll be renting from Wayno anytime I come back to Maui! read more

Great service! He had a little bit of a rush when my husband and I first came in but we were welcomed like friends. We bought a ukulele (which was tuned on the spot) and rented snorkel equipment. He also gave us boogie boards and a few great spots for snorkeling with sea turtles. When we returned the equipment, we were welcomed by his dog and island buddies. He gave us fresh coconut juice straight out of the coconut as a late wedding present. I've been using yelp for years but this was the first time I'm writing a review because he deserves one as well as the multiple perfect scores he's received on this site. read more

Great pricing on snorkel gear and advice on where to see all the nearby action without having to drive too far.

Very reasonable prices. We clearly are tourists right across the street from the Westin. Family of 8 walking in and it was less than $70 for our rentals. Awesome lady read more

It's a surf shop, but the "Ukuleles" sign brought us in, and we weren't disappointed! Dude knows his ukuleles and will teach you to play in 5 minutes. Super-friendly, knowledgeable, and no pressure whatsoever. No mention of any timeshare or "special deals on local activities". Just ukes and surfboards. Only bummer thing about his place was waiting for 5 minutes in the left turn lane for the traffic light to change. Oh, and he has surfboards and other water toys too, plus a shop dog. Watch out, the dog might sleep or maybe wag his tail at you. Thanks Wayno! read more

This is THE quintessential LOCAL surfboard rental shop on Maui. Where else can you buy an incredible hand shaped board, rent some snorkel gear or a surfboard, pet a dog, buy a Ukulele, pick up a T-shirt, soda from a local legend Wayno...talk story over a coconut. Wayno can say hi in 75 languages, is a Black Belt and one of the coolest old school shapers you will ever meet. Leave your political correctness at the door and pay what the man says--you will receive it back in kind. Maui Surfboards--NO KA OI. read more

Awesome surf shop right across the street from our hotel Honua Kai. This place has so much character to it and fantastic service! The prices are unbeatable and Wayno will set you up with everything you need to transport the surfboards to get out and ride the waves. Whether you're a beginner or an expert this shop caters to all your needs! read more

Wayno was awesome and super helpful. We rented snorkel gear and the weekly rate was definitely reasonable. Wayno took the time to tell us the best places to snorkel (found sea turtles and tons of fish as soon as we got there) and gave us a bunch of great food recommendations. He cares about his customers and made sure we had a great vacation! read more

This place is way more reasonably priced than the hotel rentals and owner Wayne is a super cool guy (with the sweetest dog!) It's the oldest surf shop on the island - support these guys! read more

Wayno was amazing with the service he provided. We got two boards for an amazing price. Surrounding shops were 2x the price. Overall, it was the best surfboard rental place on the island! Thank you Maui Surfboards!! read more

Absolutely love this place! The guy who helped us was so helpful and super nice. I surf all the time but I didn't take my boards to Hawaii this trip but this place has a great selection of boards to choose from for all levels of surfers and the pricing is super reasonable for the quality board that you get. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

A great place to pick up your surfboard or boogie board. Very reasonable and convenient to all Kanapali Beaches .
