Surfing in Maui - The waves were perfect for learning. The staff was very attentive and provided valuable feedback. The amount of time was appropriate. More than that would have been tiring

2 thumbs up for Goofy Foot - Goofy Foot is the best! Fabio and his team of surf experts were beyond professional, encouraging and most importantly FUN!!! Our daughter was up on her board within the first half hour of the lesson. I highly recommend Goofy Foot! Don’t look any further. They truly are the best!

Two thumbs up for Goofy Feet - We gave our 13 year old daughter her first surf lesson while vacationing in Maui. Goofy Feet did not disappoint. Two days before her lesson, Fabio called to move the lesson up 2 days and change locations due to better surf conditions. He was thinking ahead and I liked that. The surf lesson was perfect. It was well organized and you could clearly see how experienced Fabio and his crew were. They were great with kids. Protective and encouraging. I highly recommend Goofy Feet. They were awesome.

Goofy Foot is #1 - This is our second time using Goofy foot for surfing lessons. They are the best surfing lesson company in Maui. We first tried them about eight years ago, for our kids, and came back this year to use them again to support local business. We were not disappointed. Instructors were patient and made a huge difference in terms of getting the kids up on the boards and having a great morning Cannot recommend these guys high enough.

Definitely the best part of our whole trip! - This experience was the highlight of our trip! Mario was our instructor and he was so patient and knowledgeable. Amazing, all around. If you're trying to choose an activity that gets you in the ocean, teaches you something cool, and allows you to meet some cool people while enjoying the sunshine, DO THIS!!!

Great outing on Maui. - They did a great job with beginners. They worked hard to make it a very fun experience for the whole family. It was my three teens and me. Kudos to Fabio and Guillame, our two instructors. Surfing is physical and much more so for them as they helped us get in position. They work hard! The boards were quality and the appropriate size for us. They and the student surfers all wear a bright orange rash guard so it’s easy to keep sight of everyone. I recommend reef shoes, as does the surf school.
