Great time! 🤙 - These guys were great! Foam surf boards made all the difference on getting up fast! Other outfitters on the beach had broke down boards and disinterested instructors…whereas Sofia and Fran were great! Definitely recommend Surf Shack over other options.

Lasting memory - Actually being able to get up and ride a wave fairly quick. The group was awesome, and so were the whole crew that work there.

Surfs Up! - Coming from Iowa, I thought this would be harder than it turned out to be. Thanks to Mike, we were up and surfing in very short order.

10/10 recommend!! - We had an incredible time surfing! Mike did an awesome job teaching, and all three of us, my husband, my dad (who is 68), and myself all got up within a couple tries! The small group with only 2 other people made sure everyone got plenty of rides.

Learned how to surf! - Mike and Francisco were awesome - attentive and encouraging. Mike especially knew his stuff being a veteran surfer. Got some great photos ($40 extra per person). The Surf Shack is a little harder to find with the current construction but they send detailed directions. I was hesitant about Kihei cove, but it’s nice and shallow and the waves were consistent and a perfect height for first timers, just rinse well afterwards. Total time in the water was about a hour because of the 1/2 hour prep/ instruction before lessons and then getting boards and gear sorted afterwards and checking out the photos. Dad and girls (10 & 14) had a blast, a highlight of our trip!

So Much Fun - The tutorial was great and explained what you needed to do in order to surf. The instructors, Sofia and Juaquin, were excellent, very helpful and so supportive. I am 79 and could not establish the balance on the board that would allow me to stand. But this is something I really wanted to try, and sharing the experience with three grandchildren was , as they say, priceless!

Great first experience! - My husband and grandson took the lesson. Both had an awesome experience. Fernando was a great teacher. They also got to see sea turtles in the waves.

Good experience - Instruction and surfing was good. Cumbersome getting boards to water. Facilities of the surf shake was very shoddy.
