Surf Shack

"DON'T MISS OUT!!! Surf Shack made learning how to surf for this uncoordinated gal feel like I was a local wahine. Our instructor, Sophia, was so patient and gave the best tips that had us all up on our boards on our first try. Best deal in town and we even got a photo package that landed us some pretty awesome photos to remember the experience by. We went with a couple who had surfed a few times before and they even said that was their best experience. Paddling was def my weakness but no worries, there was no judgement for walking my board back out to catch the next wave; in fact, the spot Surf Shack uses is ideal for beginners because its more shallow towards the shore with rocks that helps us shortys to push off of to get back out there. The guys had such a great experience, they ended up coming back to rent boards and give it a go on their own; deal came with a board, shirt, and shoes for 4 hours! The team member there was so kind he even lent us (the two gals) shoes to get out in the ocean which was perfect because we got to see fish and even spotted a sea turtle!"

"We had a great time learning to surf today!! All 8 of us were able to get up. Ama and Joaquin were excellent teachers and lots of fun! We loved our time surfing! It was perfect!"

"Great instructor! Wife and I did a private lesson, and my wife was able to stand up and surf. We never surfed before. They are very friendly and know their stuff. Definitely recommend! Sofia was amazing!"

"Rented boards for a few days and trainers here are amazing. I hadn’t signed up for lessons after my first day and they kept helping me every day in the water regardless of whether I was in the class or not. Mike especially was amazing. Kept giving me tips and helped push a few times. Def coming back. They also gave me 10% discount for coming back and renting with them after lessons!"

"Our whole family (two adults and two kids: 11 and 6 yo) took a surf lesson at the Surf Shack Maui (1993 Kihei Road) and had a blast!!! It was by far the best activity we did during our three week stay in Hawaii. Jay (Jose) was our instructor and his humor, gentle approach, encouragement and love for surfing were all that we needed to get hooked on surfing from the first class. We came back for a follow up class a few days later and still could not get enough. Unfortunately we had to fly to Waikiki a few days later and ended up renting boards every day to surf, that's how fun Jose made it. Cannot wait to hit some waves in Costa Rica soon and practice what we learned. Thank you Surf Shack and thank you Jay (Jose). Sam, Joanna, Dariusz and Jasper"
