EXCELLENT Surfing Instructors!! - WOW!! This was one of our kids favorite activities on our cruise! I truly believe the quality of your surf experience has a lot to do with your instructor and if you are lucky enough to get Jess and/or Sharky as your instructor you have hit the jackpot! IMO if you don't have fun, it is all on you, not them! They were both patient individuals that were excellent at explaining the ins and outs of surfing. We booked this activity for our two kids and their SO who are all 21-22 yo and they can't stop talking about surfing and wanting to try it again! Each couple was booked with one instructor, but they decided they wanted to do it together, so they had two instructors for the four of them. They enjoyed doing it this way because they received feedback from two people instead of one. They were all able to get up on their boards which was cool! The beach is not crowded like a lot of beaches where surf lessons are offered, so no worries about "stealing" somebody's wave or being taken out by another surfer. The waves weren't crazy big so it was prefect for beginners. We took an Uber there from the cruise port and ordered an Uber when they were done with no problems. They provided shoes, rash guard, and the board. Communication prior to the lessons was excellent. The kids 100% recommend Jess and Sharky at Rivers to the Sea for surf lessons!! A special thank you to Jess and Sharky for helping our kids and their SO make awesome memories learning to surf in Maui!!

This surf lesson was for... - This surf lesson was for my 7 year old and 10 year old daughters. Tanner was an absolute legend and showed both patience and kindness as he took them out to surf. His passion and knowledge for the sport was obvious and contagious and both girls did not want to stop riding waves. Thank you!

Awesome experience! Beginners at age 50. - This was an awesome experience. Both in our 50s and trying surfing for the first time. My husband got up on his first try due to great instruction from Kane. It took me longer - and I was terrified. Fear left as Kane’s confidence and instruction was excellent. Huge kudos to Kane and his guidance. 100% would recommend.
