Over the years, we've developed a reputation for our effective lessons, which is why people keep coming back. Our programs are designed for first-time and intermediate surfers, and our instructors emphasize water safety, surfing etiquette, and proper techniques. When it comes to our teaching approach, you have a few different options. You can book a single group, semi-private, or private lesson, depending on how much one-on-one time you want. We're also the only spot in town that provides multi-day clinics. These last for three to seven days and are guaranteed to transform and accelerate your surfing skills.

      Chad and Dante were amazing. Easy to work with and really made our experience memorable. Our kids are 10 and 11 who surfed today. Chad actually took them surfing in 2020 pre covid when they were 7 and 8. He is so amazing with kids. I highly recommend it

      Suzy is the BEST! We rented a chair and umbrella for $10.00. She said if we wanted to keep it for tomorrow we could and just pay when we return them. Wow this company operates on the honor system. We went ahead a paid for two dau

      I wanted to have my daughter get surfing lesson and wasn't sure who I can call. Found this place through ny brother since his daughters had surfing lesson from this place. I called up on a wed morning, and asked if they had space available for fri and luckily they did. Arrived a little early, checked in and my daughter got surfing shoes. At 9 am, meet the instructor named Reef. He was great at teaching my daughter and my daughter also had fun too. The lesson was for 1 1/2 hours. My daughter had help in the beginning and after few times, she was able to stand up by herself for a few times. The instructor was great and very likeable. Will go back again next year.

      Our 3rd visit back to Maui, so of course we scheduled a private lesson with Maui surf clinic again. Reef did an amazing job with Dean again and we really loved the hour and a half private lesson. The location is so easy to get to in Lahaina. Parking was easy to find on the street. We will definitely return for another lesson when we come back again.
      It's a small shop but you really get a very personal experience with legit surfers. Dean was doing a few tricks by then end. He LOVED it.

      My adult daughter and I took 3 semi-private lessons through Maui Surf Clinics last week. This was my third year going out with them for multiple lessons, my daughters first. We had a marvelous experience. Everyone you interact with at MSC are friendly and helpful, be it Madison or Kat in the office, or Chad, our instructor, on the water.
      Chad guided us thoughtfully and patiently. He kept us safe at all times. He adapted what he was doing to accommodate our diverse ages and we learned an incredible amount. Surfing can be a humbling experience (albeit worth it), but Chad kept our spirits up, prepared us for the challenges and ensured we had a lot of fun. I highly recommend Maui Surf Clinics - I am already planning my outing with them for next year.

      Maui Surf Clinics and Chad were incredible. My husband and daughter had a blast and both got up almost right away. Chad was a really great teacher and taught them a lot with pointers after each wave. My daughter has fallen in love with surfing and can't wait to do it again. Dad was exhausted and super glad he did it, but it sure helps when you're in better shape. ;) None the less, Chad made it doable for him! The lady at check in was lovely and super helpful and the pics we paid for were incredible! (Get the pics - worth it!)

      My daughter took a second lesson two days later with a different school on Kaanapali Beach... a sad experience and no where near as good as MSC. We'll be back for a multiple day surf clinic next time, hopefully with Chad! Highly recommend!
