My husband and I were on our first trip to Maui and my hubby really wanted to try surfing. He has experience with skateboarding and snowboarding, but I don't. Our instructor Josh was able to explain in a terms we both understood. My husband picked it up quickly, and I got in the groove after just a few runs- Josh...

My wife and I went on our honeymoon because we had never surfing before. We were the 9/3 and had a semi private with Tan Dan. He was awesome! He made it easy to learn and made sure we understood why you get up a certain way. I have experience on a board being an avid snowboarder and wake boarser,...

This is a great Refresher course if you haven't surfed in a few years. They go at your pace no matter how fast or slow. We picked up quickly and were out at sea like pros thanks to the academy. They teach beginners too so no matter your level, give them a visit before you hurt yourself!

There were 6 of us so we had two instructors. We thought it was great to have a ratio of 3 students to 1 instructor. Unfortunately one of the instructors must have been getting over his hangover from the night before. We could still smell the alcohol from him and his eyes were bloodshot. Needless to say, his instruction was...

My three sons took surf lessons there a couple of weeks ago. They all three stood up right away. They had an excelent instructor. Royal Hawaiian Surf Academy was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

An extremely well-run operation. Our instructor Taylor was excellent. He loves surfing, and was a terrific and patient teacher. He was in no rush to get back; I asked him how long we could stay out surfing, and he said as long as we wanted. It was very satisfying to get up on the board on the first try. Highly...

Called and got last minute class with Chad. Great time with a super coach. Got up multiple times. Positive and consistent coaching from a man who loves what he does. Call this place first, no matter what the hotel sales person tells you. Going back tomorrow. 🌴

Highly recommended. I have never touched a surfboard prior to my lesson, and within 20 minutes of leaving the shop I was surfing my first wave. I also recommend buying the photos taken by them since the surfing takes place too far off of the beach for family/friends to get any good photos.

This is a great place! The guys at the shop were super friendly when we checked in. My kids (12 and 9) had a lesson with Kea (a pro surfer) who was amazing with them! He gave them great tips on how to steer and ride the waves all the way in. My kids had such a great time that...
