Maui Waves and Goofy Foot Lessons

Maui Surfing Lessons

Maui surfing lessons start with the basics on land, then move into the water with an instructor nearby. Goofy Foot lessons cover paddling, timing, standing up, board control and the part everyone laughs about later: learning how to wipe out and try again.

Your Maui Surf Lesson

A Maui surf lesson starts with the board on the sand and the ocean waiting a few steps away. The instructor walks through the basics first, so paddling, foot placement and timing make more sense before the first wave comes in.

Current Maui surfing options include Goofy Foot's 2-hour surfing lesson, with group or private lesson choices. Lessons are made for beginners, but private instruction can also help returning surfers who want more direct coaching and more time catching waves.

Choose by lesson style, comfort level and how much individual attention your party wants. Wear a swimsuit or rash guard, bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel, and expect a few wobbly moments before the first good ride makes everyone smile.
