This was the highlight of my vacation! Easily one of the best experiences of my life. First of all, the instructors are great teachers and know their stuff. But they are also very friendly people (David & his brother). Also, the surfing spot was beautiful and has scenic spots as you're riding the waves in. They also have a camera crew with them that will snap some pics for you for an extra charge! Highly recommend

This place and the people that run it and teach are top notch. I had watched them give a lesson from the beach the day before, and it convinced me to sign up for a group lesson. I let them know I was older (50's) and had not surfed in 30 years. Plus I have some extra weight on right now. They accepted the challenge. We met at the beach location, got booties, surf shirts, and the land instruction began at Kalama Park. Then we went down to the water and the fun really began. Each instructor took a few students and the students would queue up to get pushed into a wave by your instructor to get going. They told you when to pop up. The waves are just the right size for these beginning lessons. I loved it and had a great time. Pablo, Eps, and Suzie are the BEST. Consummate professionals. I definitely recommend taking lessons with these folks. Please take cash to tip your instructor. You will see, they work hard!

I was very impressed with this crew they were on time they were courteous and very helpful. All of my kids got up and we got some great pictures from the experience. It was a great morning I also appreciated how their introduction to surfing also included an introduction to polynesian culture and a nice little ritual that they did before they started riding waves. We will definitely be back and we will definitely use Maui Surf Club in the future!

If you're reading this review, don't look any further, just book it!! Our instructor THE SARG was fantastic. He quickly and clearly showed us the basics, got us in the water, and had us up surfing the very first wave! Having never surfed before we didn't know what to expect, but thanks to THE SARG we had a blast and learned a lot too. There's a reason they're the highest rated surf school in Maui

My friend and I had a great time with our surf instructor, Brian. He was helpful, positive and knew what he was talking about. I had been surfing a few times and Brian was able to improve my techniques and had me doing tricks by the end. The whole process was seamless and they made it fun.

We are a large group of 12 with most of us being first time or beginner surfers. All 3 of our instructors, Epes (Sergeant), David and Mathew, were absolutely incredible instructors. You cannot go wrong with any of them. They made our experience amazing! They were super friendly, informative and an absolute pleasure as they got every single person in our party surfing!! A truly memorable experience we will never forget...and yes, we will all be back to surf again! Mahalo Epes, David and Mathew! Also, a shout out to our incredible photographer Kai! Again, an absolute pleasure to work. He was very engaging and got some great shots of our group! Mahalo Kai!

I had an amazing experience at Surf Club Maui's beginner surf lesson, and it was all thanks to Epes (The Sarge), our fantastic instructor! Epes made learning to surf a breeze with his patience and expert guidance. He tailored the lesson to our skill level and ensured we felt comfortable in the water. Not only was Epes great, but the entire staff at Surf Club Maui was incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment we walked up, we felt like part of the surf family. They provided all the necessary equipment, and their enthusiasm for teaching surfing was infectious. If you're looking for a top-notch beginner surf lesson with a friendly and knowledgeable team, Surf Club Maui is the place to go. I can't wait to catch some more waves with them in the future!

So...since everyone else was clearly compelled to compose an epic review, please allow us to one-up them all with this Spenserian Sonnet tribute to David- the best surf instructor ever. DavidIn Maui's azure waves, where surfers play,There stands a guide named David, kind and true,His heart's compassion guides each sunlit day,Encouraging all to chase the ocean's hue.With words of wisdom, he engages minds,Instilling confidence in every soul,As tides rise high, his expertise unwinds,And through the swells, his knowledge takes its toll.Informative, he imparts the secrets rare,The dance of waves, their rhythm and their might,In every crest, he finds a story to share,Guiding his pupils with pure delight.David, the surf instructor, bold and wise,Turns novices to riders 'neath Hawaiian skies.Take that.Much love, Spenser and Fig.

Never surfed a day in my life, can't even stand up on a skateboard, but I was able to surf after my second attempt. It wasn't pretty but I was able to stand and go for a while. The instructor, Epps, was cool, friendly, and knowledgeable. All the instructors seemed to genuinely love what they were doing. The photographer Kai was also really cool, him and the female photographers took some great shots. I would definitely recommend Surf Club Maui.

My family had a great time learning how to surf from Brian. He was knowledgeable, stressed safety, but also encouraged a lot of fun. My family enjoyed themselves so much and felt like they gained the basic skills to surf that they rented a board a couple days later to try things on their own. Plus the photographer captured some great shots on the waves. Thanks for a great experience Brian and team!

The entire process from booking to taking lessons was great! The lady over the phone was so helpful with questions and booking it for us. My husband and I had a semi private lesson and our kids each had a private lesson. Matthew, Pedro, and Epes was our instructors and they're so amazing! They were great and attentive to our kids, 8 and 5 year old. Pedro and Epes was our kids' instructor and made them feel so comfortable in the water. They felt confident and was asking to book more lessons! Matthew was our instructor he was so clear on instructions and advices. Really cool guy to talk to too. Overall we would absolutely recommend to book with them! It was the best experience yet.

I recently had the pleasure of taking surf lessons at Surf Club Maui, and I must say it was an incredible experience. Our surf instructor, Jonathan, did an outstanding job in guiding us through the lessons and helping us catch some nice beginner size waves. Then after gaining some skills and confidence he progressed us to a section called Turtle Town with a different break where all three of us was able to catch waves and stand without any assistance!Jonathan's expertise and passion for surfing and teaching were evident from the moment we started the lesson. He was extremely patient, encouraging, and provided clear instructions on how to improve our technique. He took the time to understand each individual's skill level and tailored the lessons accordingly, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and confident in the water.No matter your skill level, If you're looking for an exceptional surf experience in Maui, I highly recommend Surf Club Maui and specifically Jonathan as your instructor.
