Curran got me to the next level! - I was looking to take my beginner skills to the next level. With Curran’s help, I was consistently standing, finding balance, and making my way with turning. Hugely successful day for me.

Goofy Foot got us hooked on surfing - Goofy Foot is amazing. We've done lessons now through them across two trips for our little guys. They are hooked. Awesome instructors with a great rapport for ensuring it is fun for the kids so it sticks. We will continue to work through Fabio each trip out as the kids' skill level develops.

A family of experience to remember! - Such an amazing experience as a family (mom, dad, and three kids under 14)! The communication was great and the beach choice perfect. Cody is a knowledgeable and encouraging instructor. No matter what your experience, level Goody Foot will ensure you have a great experience! Kids begged to surf everyday after our lesson. Thank you for the memories and amazing photos!!!

Amazing lesson for a young surfer! - The Goofy Foot team gave an amazing lesson to my 8-year-old, as well as our friends. Communication was great, confirming location for the lesson the night before and again in the morning. My son got two solid hours of wave riding and was exhausted by the end and proud of what he accomplished. The instructor was encouraging and helped him improve, and the entire team accommodated a wide range of abilities with patience and enthusiasm. I can't recommend this surf school highly enough - they are not just great surfers and teachers, but wonderful people. We are so happy to see Goofy Foot back helping us ride waves again, and look forward to our next time in Maui!

Great school to learn to surf! - I had a 2 hour private lesson for my 60th birthday and it was everything I hoped it could be. Goofy Foot provided a surf board and rash guard top, and the lesson started with general information about safety, followed by instruction lying on the board on the beach. The instructors were very professional and friendly, and they had a photographer on site who took some great photos that we received that night. Then, it was into the water! They were with me every step of the way, got me lined up on waves, and I had several good runs. It was a lot of fun, and tiring! Communication was very good. They texted us the meeting location with a link to directions and it was very easy to find. Highly recommended!

Great instruction and care for first time youth surfers! - My two girls, ages 11 and 16 had a great time surfing today with Goofy Foot Surf School. Neither girl had surfed before and both were able to ride waves a majority of the time. The 11 year old isn't a great swimmer and rode the ways right from the start. The team at Goofy Foot were organized, fun and professional.

Goofy Foot is really great - I took my daughter for a lesson. Fabio was easy to work with and scheduling was a snap. Directions were clear and easy. The surf instructor did a great job with my 9 year old and had her up riding within 20 minutes. There a photographer on site who captured the whole thing for a super reasonable price. This was my 2nd time with goofy foot. We will be back again.

Just book Goofy. You will not regret it. - My son (26) and I (57) both had private lessons this morning. My experience level was "I have seen a surf board." and my son has goofed around surfing a few times without training and snow boards every winter. We each had an instructor which was great as my skill level (or lack there of) did not hold him back. My son was off doing some larger waves after some coaching on a few short surfs by his instructor. Took me a while longer but with my instructor providing advice I too was actually surfing some waves without falling completely on my own. My original goal was to be able to stand on a board without falling. Being able to actually really surf some waves (even some bigger ones) was a real bonus. Both of our instructors were very knowledgeable and patient. Their goal seemed to be let have some fun and get you surfing. My coach even helped tow me out towards the end so I could ride some more waves as I was getting exhausted paddling. Both my son and I highly recommend Goofy and will use them again. One note: If I can do it so can you!
