My wife and I took a beginning surfing class at Surfing 101 in Kihei, Kekoa was our instructor, what a fun, competent and great instructor he was. We also spent some time with Ben one of their other instructors, also a real pro. Kekoa and Ben are also great surfers.
I attempted to surf at the North Shore on Oahu, at a fancy resort. The surf was so rough, I was never able to fully stand. MWR is right across the street from where you surf. The waves were a bit smaller than the North Shore but Andrew had me up on the very first wave. Amazing time- thank you!
Our family had an excellent time with Surfing 101!! They were all very organized and courteous. It was a great place to learn how to surf. The day starts with 15 minutes of intro into the very basics of surfing and then you head to the water. Keoki our instructor had everyone in our group surfing after 1-2 attempts. The water is only about 4 feet deep, and the waves are easy to ride. This is a must do while in Maui. Keoki will have you surfing in no time!!
I had a short morning before catching a plane back to WA to try to catch a wave for the first time in my life. I decided to book a lesson with The Surfing 101 at 7:30 in the morning for a semi private lesson that turned into a private lesson. Al, a formally sponsored surfer, was my instructor, a great guy, Easy going and patient. It was completely worth taking a lesson, plus if I didn’t have to catch a plane, I could had used the equipment to practice the rest of the day. Personally, I rank the experience as high as watching the sunrise from Haleakalā volcano.
Our instructor was amazing. She worked patiently with our five year old and rode the board with her so that she got comfortable. Very helpful and patient even the older less athletic member of our party. Spoke to the owner after the lesson. He is knowledgeable and cares about his customers and the island. We got great value for our money and some gret pictures to share with family.
Thank you Maui Waveriders! Especially our instructor Kazuma! He was extremely patient with my young daughter, my niece and this older overweight man. His instruction before we got out on the water was easy to understand and right to the point. My daughter and niece were up on their first wave and I was standing up on the second one. After my daughter and niece got the hang of it, Kazuma made my it even more fun for them and taught them to ride tandem! They absolutely loved it. The rest of the staff was very helpful and made the entire morning very fun for us. If you listen to them and follow their recommendations you will have a great experience just as we did
Great place for lessons and board rentals. The prices for rentals are completely fair and they have nice equipment. The lessons are great. They will definitely get a beginner surfing. And the staff is warm and professional
The staff is amazing plus they offer you the rashguards and surf shoes for free with the rental. After our instructor time we were able to keep the paddle boards and surf boards for the rest of the day. Unfortunately the wind picked up and we couldn't get back on the water. The staff was so nice about it and let us come back the next day to use our time.
