I was in Maui for a week and decided to get back on the board after about a 10 year hiatus. Had great sessions on the water with Corey , who was able to give me some refreshers and also tips to be a better kiter and enjoying myself on the rides. He is a great instructor that really helps you understand how to feel comfortable and safe in the water. At the end of the 4 sessions, I was riding upwind and having a blast! I was very happy with my progress and glad that I decided to call Aqua Sports Maui and work with Corey , who is an amazing athlete.

I had 15h of kite boarding lessons with Corey and I would recommend him as an instructor to anyone who is serious about learning the sport. Corey is a highly experienced instructor, and an excellent kiteboarder himself, with a deep understanding and intuition for the sport. He is a patient teacher who knows when to intervene with constructive feedback and when to back off so you can make your own mistakes and learn from them. I often experience that he was genuinely happy whenever I had small victories and felt encouraged to keep trying. All the provided equipment was of good quality, in good condition, and properly adjusted for the wind conditions of the day. We met at kite beach, which I heard is were it all started, so between the natural beauty of place and the historical significance of the place, I felt truly inspired and fortunate to be there.

Cory is the real deal. It’s clear that he knows the sport inside out and teaches it well. In one lesson he got me riding upwind. In the next he got me to jump from the tops of waves.
Watching his own jumps is inspiring.

Cory is a fantastic instructor! One of the best i have had! He uses top quality gear and has a range of sizes to fit all students. He also had radio headsets that took me from crashing the kite and walking back up the beach to putting the kite in the right piece of sky to stay upwind! Great time in challenging wind. Best time i had in Maui! Recommend him 100%

Great experience with Cory and Karen! Cory is a great instructor, as I am an instructor myself. Cory did work with me on an accelerated course and my progress was great. Karen worked hard to work around our rescheduling needs
