My fiance and I where in Maui and thanks to TripAdvisor and Yelp we found Goofy Foot Surf School. Neither of us where surfers - so we opted for a private lesson (definetely the way to go). When we showed up we where greeted by a number of surf instructors who helped us get situated (get a board, booties, rash... more

Goofy Foot is the way to go. Only $65 and a guarantee that you'll get up on that board. My 12 year old son and extremely unathletic 15 year old daughter had the time of their lives! The instructors were very patient and made the whole 2 hours enjoyable and interesting. Both kids rode some waves and we paid for... more

I had a blast. Instructor was patient and very helpful. The area was busy but with instruction and practice we figured out how to avoid everyone. I was there in late September and the waves were nice - not too big, not too small - and the weather was perfect. There's a bar nearby for after surf celebrations. Unfortunately I... more

My wife and I agreed that this was the best thing we did in the 5 days we were in Maui. The instruction is excellent and the area for the surfing is perfect. The waves are a good size but the area is shallow enough that if you fall (and you will) you can stand up. We both thought we... more

We had a great experience with Goofy Foot. My 9 yr. old daughter, 12 yr old son and husband all surfed in the lesson with one other 12 yr old(4 total). The instructor was funny and had great tips and helped line the kids up one at a time in the waves. The instruction spot is very crowded so they... more

These guys were great! We had a very small class size (only two of us) and we were able to catch a bunch of waves. Our instructor, Luke, had us up on the board on our first attempt. He was awesome. I highly recommend this surf schol. It was one of the highlights of our trip. more

My fiance and I just returned from our first trip to Maui and we booked with Goofy Foot for Friday, July 24th at 11am. I am one of the least athletic people I know, a klutz by nature. Goofy Foot guarantees you'll stand up on a wave or you get your money back - I was certain I would be... more

My wife bought this for me as a birthday present and almost didn't participate herself because she didn't think she could do it. However, once we met our instructor and got out on the water we had a great time. They really work hard to help you get up on a wave. They are very patient and kind and both... more

We had two instructors for the 5 of us (we have an 8 year old who needed his own instructor). Mark and Kenny were fantastic! We laughed (at them and each other) and all had a successful lesson. I would highly recommend this school for families. more

Goofy Foot stands up to all the hype. My husband and I were both able to surf standing on a real board --and better than the end of our lesson--but the first time we took to the waves! Our instructor, Luke, was cool, patient, very clear. We appreciated that there were only four people assigned to each instructor, and that... more
