Amazing Experience! - My son (16) and I, had the best time at our surfing lessons with Ricky Bobby and South Pacific Kayaks. This was our second time taking surf lessons in Kihea - we used a different company the last time- and this experience was far superior! Everything was so smooth and easy, from meeting the instructors at the truck in the parking lot, getting our gear, having our land lesson and then navigating through the crowd at Kalama Beach Park. That was actually the most difficult part, trying to stay away from the other surfers! We felt so well taken care of. We already plan to rebook with this company the next time we return to Maui. Note, the photographers they work with are awesome, they really capture your experience so be prepared to pay quite a bit for your surfing photos, they are pricey but impossible to resist!

Great Surfing experience - Jordan at beach boys was amazing. We were anxious to send kids for surfing lessons due to high tide. Jordan was professional and made it easy. We felt that our kids were in safe hands. The kids where able to surf in an hour. They had great time.

Awesome experience - This was such a fun activity. We had never been surfing before (2 adults and 2 kids age 10, 12)and we were all able to get up easily over and over thanks to great instructions by Louis. There was a photographer that took pictures our whole session and had electronic photo package that were available to purchase after….the pictures were awesome and worth the cost in my opinion.

A highlight of our trip to Maui! - Had a blast surfing with Keoki! Took my dad for his 70th birthday because he’d always wanted to try it. Our instructor was very patient, and super nice, and my dad was thrilled when he was able to ride a few waves! Buy the photo package- it was totally worth it, and our photographer David did an exceptional job of capturing the memories. Mahalo for an amazing experience! Highly recommend!!!

Fun experience - The surfing instructors were fantastic. They were very quick to teach the basics and must knows of surfing prior to getting in the ocean. This was done in a timely manner which gave more time to surf. We felt safe throughout the entire experience. They offer a photo package at the end which is very expensive ($75 per person). The photos and videos are great quality however price seems a bit steep, especially when we paid for $25 per person on our other Maui excursions that offered photo and video packages.
