Location
Mile Marker 19- Guardrails
Hawaii 30
Mile Marker 19 off Highway 30 (Honopi'ilani Highway), two miles south of Lahaina at a surf spot known to locals as 'Guardrails.' Note: GPS locations do not work with the mile markers on Highway 30 (Honopi'i'ani Hwy), where the beach is located. Directions: From Lahaina/Kaanapali/Kapalua resort areas: Drive two miles south of Lahaina on Highway 30 Honoapiiliani Highway. Look for Puamana Beach Park on the ocean side. The meeting location is called 'Guardrails,' which is located 500 yards past Puamana Beach Park, on the ocean side, exactly across from mile marker 19 off of Highway 30 Honoapiiliani Highway. There is a little gravel parking lot to park. The instructor will be at this location 10 minutes prior to the start time of the surf lesson. Check in 10 minutes early at 'Guardrails' surf spot, Mile Marker 19, Highway 30 (Honopi’ilani Hwy). This should provide enough time to apply sunscreen and let it sink in before getting in the sun and water. The instructor will be in the parking area 10-minutes before the lesson start time. For example, if the lesson starts at 9:20am, the instructor will be there at 9:10am.

Fun way to ride the waves - Both kids up and surfing in the first half of the lesson. More smiles and excitement followed the second half. Their instructor Sharkey communicated well and even had a fun morning.

If you’re thinking about surfing Maui, this is the company to go with - My husband and I booked a private lesson with Sharky and we had the best time!! We initially had a bit of a scheduling snafu, and Tide worked with us to get us out on the ocean. The lesson was so much fun and my husband and I both were able to stand and surf Maui by the end! Highly recommend Rivers to The Sea!!

Surf's Up!! - Amazing!! Booked a private lesson for our two kids. They both absolutely LOVED it! Highly recommend. Their surf instructor, Eric Totah, was THE BEST. Knowledgeable, professional, patient, and clearly skilled at what he does because both kids were up and surfing in NO TIME!! Plus it was so reasonable ($$$).

Great Experience - Sharks was a great instructor and took the time to show the girls how to be successful and ride waves. He took the time to show them how not to rush to stand which allowed them to get a feel for the board and the balance which ultimately led to them riding much longer and more successfully. Highly recommend this experience and Sharky
