Great experience for our first time - Turtle was a great instructor. Our semi-private lesson ended up being our family of 3 and he helped each of us individually and checked in with us regularly. None of us had ever done this before and it was a good experience.

Fun - We switched to surfing instead of SUP,
I am glad we did, David was awesome and we all had a really great time learning to surf. Great spot for beginners, would definitely do this again.

Amazing Experience - Incredible!! Lucas was an amazing teacher, so patient and kind with both me and the other paddle boarder. He was professional and ensured we had a once in a lifetime experience. I will definitely be back for surfing lessons with this company soon. Highly recommend!!

Highly recommended for beginners or advanced SUPers - If you're looking for an ocean adventure with mild to medium exertion, look no further than a SUP class with Surf Club Maui! I've SUP'd before in freshwater lakes, but never the ocean, so I opted for a class to learn to watch the wave conditions and know the local unwritten rules (e.g. don't paddle in the locals-only area). Kimmy was a phenomenal instructor - lots of direct instruction paired with fun humor and honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) knowledge. Our group of four (three students and Kimmy the instructor) paddled out to the reef, looked for turtles, and got a great view of the West Maui mountains and Haleakala on the glittering Pacific Ocean. They provide rashguards and booties; bring your sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and get ready to stand up (or sit down) and enjoy a morning of paddling on the ocean! Photos are available for purchase so leave your phone. Lots of restaurants or coffee shops across the street for breakfast. The Saturday market is walking distance away and provides fresh produce and coconuts. What are you waiting for?

Loved our surf lesson! - My husband and I did a semi-private lesson and it ended up being just us. It was an amazing exp! David was so helpful and really based the lesson on our comfort level. We were able to catch our first wave! I can say, we are hooked and can't wait to surf again!

We are now paddleboarders! - Our first time trying this incredible activity. We finally got the lessons scheduled through Surf Club Maui. Kimmie was such a patient, caring instructor. She wasn't at all pushy, waited for each student to take the next step. She looked like she enjoyed being there as much as we did. She really made the whole experience so enjoyable for us. Lily provided a lot of emotional support while taking pictures of our lessons. The company provided everything we needed, board, shirt & shoes. The picture package was an extra fee, but just a bit more, and provided an excellent source for proof of our experience.

SUP lesson and rentals - My husband and I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle board. The best thing about this company, once your lesson is over you can rent the equipment to go out on your own. The instructors were friendly and helpful. This is a beautiful area to learn SUP. The water is clear and we saw a lot of turtles.
