5.00My daughter (age 7) and myself had an amazing time learning from Maggie and Dan. My daughter was so nervous before her lesson, and Maggie immediately put her at ease; she gained enough confidence to stand up on the board three times! Dan was really encouraging and helpful, and I loved his laid back approach!
GO! It’s fun!

5.00Maggie was an amazing surf instructor for my two boys, ages 10 and 7, during their first lesson. I was nervous, but she quickly eased my worries with her calm, friendly approach. She explained how waves form, taught the steps clearly, and was excellent with safety. The kids had a great time and felt confident thanks to her. Highly recommend!
MSG & Gina made my first surfing experience empowering and unforgettable

5.00I had my first-ever surfing lesson with Gina from Maui Surfer Girls, and it was incredible! At age 50, I’d never even held a surfboard - but Gina’s skill and encouragement turned this into an experience I’ll never forget. She taught me everything - ocean dynamics, safety, surf etiquette, and step-by-step technique to get up on the board. She guided me with gentle instruction, did most of the hard paddling, and gave me just the right amount of support to feel safe while still challenging myself. By the end of the private lesson, I was standing and riding wave after wave. Gina’s teaching style is empowering, confidence-building and joyful. I left feeling proud and exhilarated. I can’t recommend Gina and the Maui Surfer Girls organization enough - they also offer girls surf camps and run a wonderful community outreach program - to anyone looking to try surfing!
Awesome day with MSG

5.00Had a private lesson with Jedi. Experience was top notch. Super informative and had a blast. Jedi was a great coach. Told me exactly what my weak spots were and I was able to catch more waves because of it. Day was great and the waves set up for long rides. Awesome location with epic views. I’ve done other lessons at other locations with other coaches. From booking to end, MSG was the best organized and run. Would definitely return!

5.00My 10 year old daughter and husband did a private lesson with Raul and Rick as their instructors and it was AWESOME. They were both encouraging with kids and really took their time. She rode multiple waves and raved about the lesson as the highlight of our trip. In addition, Maui Surfer Girls communicated clearly in advance, offered photos of the experience, and taught both of them so much. This experience and the teachers were way beyond our expectations-highly recommend them!
Awesome time!

5.00Jedi and Natalie were awesome with our kids! My kids are neurodivergent and these two don’t even blink an eye. They made my hesitant child say it was amazing when it was over and my adventurous kid ate up every minute. Thank you for this awesome experience and giving these tired parents two hours to watch and enjoy our kids having fun!
Maui is magical and this was a trip highlight!

5.00These surfing lessons were one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! Our instructors - Anne-Marie and Natalie - were so patient with our first-time 8- and 9-year olds, and our girls were up on their boards on the first try!, and multiple times, during their time in the water. I was so impressed. We appreciated that they focused on safety and technique but then were also the biggest cheerleaders with each attempt. I'd also highly recommend Jungle Rootz - the photograther on site - as we got some of the best pictures of our trip from this experience.
Great Experience

5.00Had a private lesson for our 8 year old daughter. She had a great time and it was so fun for us to see her have so much fun learning something new. The instructor was fantastic.
Highlight of our trip!

5.00Our almost 10 year old had the private lesson and absolutely loved working with Dustin. It was definitely a highlight of the trip. We had a semi-private lesson for me and our 15 year old which was also fantastic. They focused on technique and safety, but also made sure we were having a blast. Everyone was really personable and after each run, the instructor gave a tip to make the next one even better. I didn't know a photographer would be on site, but that was a perfect add-on to capture the memories. We'll schedule with them again on our next visit to Maui!
