We paid for a group lesson and ended up with a semi-private lesson because only my son (10 years old) and I were in the group. Ola was our instructor, and he spent two hours patiently teaching us. We went to Maui Waveriders on a recommendation, and that recommendation was right. I'd definitely go to Waveriders again next time I'm... More

We were in Maui recently and took a surfing lesson with V-Mann. There were 4 of us in the class and all of us were up on the first try. He made it so easy and so much fun for all of us. They even take lots of pictures of you and offer you a CD at the end. The... More

Maui Waveriders in Lahaina is where we took our two girls 8 & 6. Todd was our instructor for them and he couldn't be better with the girls. They were riding waves and having so much fun! The girls have surfed with Todd twice on our trip and we are planning on at least one more. More

Got a semi-private lesson for our 8 & 10 yr olds. They loved it and were up on their first wave. Would recommend this place. Do a morning lesson for better waves. 9 AM time is perfect, earlier time is too cold as the sun isn't out yet. I am a long boarder and the instructor was EXCELLENT with the... More

My husband and I chose Maui Waveriders in Lahina to learn stand up paddle boarding. Our instructor was Renton, and he was the best. Personable, helpful and competent, he made our lesson easy and fun. We were paddling in minutes! Renton finished the lesson with a surf lesson-2 for 1! All the stuff you need- booties, rash guard, board shorts... More

It's not everyday you get to take lessons from a professional surfer like JB Faldo!!! I was recommended to the Maui Waveriders in Lahaina through a friend and I couldn't be happier with the experience. JB really accommodated to the skill level of everyone in our group and everyone was able to stand up and catch a few waves. Not... More

On our Hawaiian vacation, this past Christmas, we took two family lessons with Renten at the Waveriders in Lahaina. He was great. He taught Dad, Mom, Luke (14), and Tania (9) to surf. It was a great experience. Real nice guy. Patient with us. As humble and as qualified as they come. Thank you Renten and the Maui Waveriders. Aloha... More
