10/10 experience! - We had an excellent experience with Maui Waveriders. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our instructor, Andrew, was phenomenal! He made it his mission that we stood on our boards and surfed! To our surprise, photos of us surfing were available for purchase at the end of the lesson!

Fun morning with the family - Our family of 3 had a great experience with Keppa. He was so encouraging and positive. The location was perfect for beginners, though a little crowded. The surf shop was just across the street, so easy to carry equipment and make the most of our time. Bonus that Kihei food oasis is just a few blocks away for lunch afterwards.

Perfect for starters - The teachers are very friendly and helpfully. At the beginning we were a little bit afraid of our first surf lesson. But after few minutes in the water the doubts are blowen away. It was an life changing experince. You have to trust the process and relax. Don‘t force anything ;) - mahalo! Greetings to our teacher wave daddy ;)

Cherry surf lessons! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Surf Lesson in Kihei with Maui Wave Riders! I had an amazing experience taking a surf lesson with Kea of Maui Wave Riders in Kihei! From the moment I arrived, the team was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly patient. Kea explained everything clearly, made safety a priority, and gave easy tips that helped me feel confident right away. Once we got in the water, his encouragement and hands-on guidance made a huge difference—I was able to stand up and catch waves sooner than I expected! The location was perfect for beginners, and the whole vibe was fun, relaxed, and supportive. Whether you’re new to surfing or just looking to improve, Maui Wave Riders is an excellent choice. I left with great memories, new skills, and a huge smile. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! - Everything you need to start from no experience. The instructors are skilled and guide you. You can return later in the day and get equipment when the tradewinds pick up to try again after a rest
