Fantastic Family Surfing Experience - Nine of our family members ages 9-40 wanted to try surfing. I read through several surf lesson choices and choose Surf Shack in Kihei. I contacted Mark to figure out how to book since a group of 9 wasn't a choice. He was present when we arrived and we were greeted warmly. Two instructors were assigned (and another family of 3 joined us with our consent). Both instructors, Sophia and Segundo were friendly, energetic, and supportive. They provided on land instruction first and got everyone surfing in a really short amount of time. Our two little guys struggled with getting back out to surf again and the instructors were great about providing extra aid. There was a photographer that was assigned and took great pictures--of course they were for sale at the end of our experience and we happily purchased these action photos. We wouldn't hesitate to do this activity again! Thanks Mark and team.

Old Men surfing - Thoroughly enjoyed Max. He was engaging and made our first surfing experience fantastic. Thanks you for the great adventure

AWESOME DAY - Moved to Maui recently and decided, at the ripe young age of 50, to learn SUP surfing. Went out today with James and had a blast!!!!!! Actually caught 5 waves, yes I was counting. He's very knowledgeable and super fun to hang with. I'll definitely be doing some more surfing with him.

Alex p - Alex was an excellent instructor. I didn’t think I’d get the hang of it so fast. He made it super easy to learn.

Best surf experience around ! - A must do in Maui ! James, Church and the rest of the crew were amazing. My teens (17 and 14) had surfed before in Cali so James just did a quick review and off they went. Surfing with Church was a first for them and an amazing adventure. And Kylee’s in water photos were incredible ! If I could give 6 stars I would 👍🏻🙌

Surfing with Turtles - For those in south Maui looking for the surfing experience, this is the place to go - no need to drive to Lahaina! I and my 15 & 13 year old boys enjoyed a semi private lesson with Jae (Jay?) this morning and it was exactly what we were looking for. Great beginning surfing area and Jae navigated us through the other groups with ease. She had an energetic mix of coaching, guiding and teaching that helped each of us pick things up at our own pace and take that step from beginner to riding the wave all the way in. Oh, and did I mention the turtles? Constant companions in the surfing area. Great place, great guide, great experience!

Don't do it - It's not surfing - We had booked a private surf instructor for two and ended up surfing like everyone else at the same completely crowded spot. The surf spot is so crowded that the surfers drive around each other and get in the way. You get pushed into the wave and then crash a few meters further forward with someone & you don't even have to paddle yourself. It's not fun that way! The water is only knee-deep in places and covered with many stones, and therefore not entirely harmless. We surfed several times, which was by far the worst surf spot, a pure tourist rip-off. I wouldn't do any more.
