Great experience, learning to surf at Waves Hawaii Surf School! I signed up to help give my daughters the courage to do so. I think we caught 20 waves each. We signed up for the semi private lesson, which allowed the three of us to share one instructor. The instructor would launch us off, and we rode the wave. As we paddled back out, the next surfer was up and surfing by. The instructor would provide great feed back, elevating our performance. The organization was very positive, they kept a great eye out. They provided rash guards, pants, shoes, boards, everything to have a great experience. All you need to do is show up, they'll take care of the rest. We signed up for semi-private, after my fifth wave I wish I had signed up for surf safari. The safari offers classes in deeper water which equates to longer rides and deeper water when falling off the board. Semi private is great for the kids. Both of my kids are hooked and want their own boards now. Hang loose!

Can't overstate how much we would recommend Waves Hawaii for your surfing lessons!! It was a fun experience, Val was great with my kids (8 & 9 yrs) and provided a fun experience for our whole family. Bit of background...our hotel concierge unknowingly had cancelled our reservation (a whole other story) with Waves Hawaii. We were out of bed early for our lessons, arrived on time, only to be informed that our reservations had been cancelled. Val was incredibly accommodating and although all of the instructors were booked she hopped in the water and helped us herself!! There was no obligation on her part to do so. She truly went above and beyond to give us an awesome experience and to offer us the opportunity to surf for the first time. Highly, highly, highly recommend.
We had a blast and all of us (mom, dad, and four kids 8-16 yrs old) were able to catch multiple waves. Mikey was a phenomenal teacher and I highly recommend him. Would have given five stars but we had to reschedule the morning of when the van broke down and we didn't love the surprise cost to buy the photos after they had been transferred to our phones. Not a fan of the bait and switch but love the pictures and would have bought them anyway.
Great experience with the private instructors with our 4 boys. Everyone had a great time and learned a lot!
Highly recommended! First timers with very little ocean experience at all and they loved everything about this experience. Eddie had them in the water and up on boards in no time and they had a blast! They also learned a lot about the island and ocean during the 2 hour lesson. Would definitely recommend and return again.
Although the lesson itself was fine, the instructors were VERY rude to other surfers in the area. They blocked their path and verbally accused other surfers of ‘being in their’ way. It was super uncomfortable and i felt horrible for anyone out their not in our lesson. We were a big group and kind of took over a lot of the surf area. I wish they could have been kinder. It would have made a big difference in our day.
100% excellent. I've had a few instructors in various places around the world and the team at Waves are the best. They're genuinely invested in see you progress regardless of your surfing level. Super amazing people to share time with too and will happily offer local tips for the area. If you're coming to Maui and taking a lesson book with Waves and have amazing memories. You won't regret it
5 STARS!! My husband and I took a surf lesson this morning with Eddie and we had the BEST time! Eddie was a great teacher and had us up riding a board on the first ride. We can’t wait to come back and bring our kids. We made a reservation through the hotel but next time we come back we will totally be booking directly with Waves and hopefully get to surf with Eddie again! Also, a great option that’s available are incredible in water photos by Johnny. Thanks for an awesome morning!
