About this tour
This two-hour semi-private surf lesson on Maui puts you on a board with an experienced instructor in groups of 2–6 people. Run by female surfers who've been teaching for over two decades, the program emphasizes personalized coaching and extended water time compared to standard 90-minute classes. You'll work with both male and female guides who speak English fluently and tailor instruction to your group's level.

What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at the beach and receive a quick safety and technique briefing before paddling out. Expect to spend most of the two hours actually riding waves rather than sitting through lengthy explanations on shore. Your coach will position themselves to observe your paddling, pop-ups, and balance, offering corrections and encouragement between sets. The pace adapts to your group's swimming ability and confidence level. Even if you've never surfed, the instructors break down fundamentals into manageable steps. Conditions vary daily—sometimes waves are shoulder-high, sometimes smaller—but instructors choose breaks suitable for learners.
Good to know
You must be a confident swimmer; the ocean is not negotiable on this front. Bring reef shoes or prepare to wear the provided booties to protect your feet. Arrive early to sort equipment. This is physically demanding—expect tired shoulders and legs. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns.
