Two young lads and I all had a fantastic time on our first time surfing. Karlos was excellent, saying at the beginning that it's all about the boys, which it was. He looked after them so well, but never forgot about me. He had the boys doing switches and riding on the same board. They were so excited throughout and... More

We received a 2-hour lesson as a honeymoon gift at Maui Beach Boys. Due to some confusion over what beach we were going to, we showed up about an hour late. We figured our lesson might get cut short but our instructor Dylan happily took us out for the whole two hours. He was an excellent instructor, very pleasant, and... More

This was my favorite activity of everything we did while in Maui for our honeymoon. We did this our last day and before we went, I was only a little excited because I didn't think I would actually ever surf. I am the type of girl who screams when seaweed touches me and won't go in the ocean past hip... More

These guys (and gals!) are amazing. The entire crew is helpful, friendly, funny, and everything you want for your first surfing experience. Carlos took us straight to the water and got us riding on our very first wave. Carols was great at adapting to our individual skill level, finding the perfect waves for us, and giving us additional comments and... More

As first timers to Hawaii you cannot leave here without trying to surf. Called up Maui Beach Boys and spoke with JB to arrange surfing lessons. We had Sasha as our instructor and he was a wonderful instructor. He gave us great tips on how to get up and stay on the board. On my first try I manage to... More

Just go to Maui beach boys already. I've taken surfing lessons before but always struggled. Maui beach boys had me riding waves consistently throughout the length of my lessons. People in my classes who had never surfed before were also catching a lot of waves and lovin it. I guess EXPERT instruction makes a difference. Their rates are reasonable, they... More

My husband and my 9 year old daughter took lessons with Dylan. He was SO good with them, and most importantly my 9 year old. At the end of her lesson she told me with complete enthusiasm "that was the best experience of my life!". Now that is HUGE! She now wants to grow up to be a surfer &... More

Just got back from a long, relaxing trip to Maui. One of the best experiences was my surfing lesson with Carlos. It was my first time on a surfboard and Carlos made it seem easy. He was very patient, easy going and professional. With his help, I got up on my first try and pretty much every try after that.... More

My wife and I had never gotten up on surf boards before and thanks to Carlos, we now both love surfing and wish we could do it more often (...not much opportunity to surf in Toronto, Canada) Although it pains my ego to admit it, my wife got up on her 1st attempt, while I was quick to follow and...
