‹
Surf Lesson Kihei Maui Small Group with Pro Instructor★★★★★★★★★★ 4.90 (123)2hA 2-hour surf lesson in Kihei Maui with a professional instructor and all gear (rashguard, reef shoes, surfboard) included. Groups stay at six or fewer, and children under 10 must book private or semi-private lessons for safety. The instructor meets you at the Waves Hawaii van, walks through safety and technique on the beach, then takes you into the water to practice.Is it for me?Book a group lesson if you're a teenager or adult with at least moderate fitness and want to learn alongside others at the same level. Choose private or semi-private if your child is under 10, since that's the safer setup for younger surfers in the ocean.Free cancellationMost bookedfromUS$ 103View ›
