I’ve rented a hardtop longboard from this place both last year and this year, and each time it was a great experience! The rental is $40 per day (from 7:00 AM to 2:45 PM) and includes booties and a rash guard.
There’s a cove right across the street from the surf school — just a 5-minute walk. The bottom is pretty rocky, so booties are definitely a must.
The surf conditions are perfect for beginners or longboarders who just want to enjoy long, smooth waves. They offer private and small group lessons throughout the day.
Next time, I’m planning to do a one-on-one lesson with an instructor — so they can help push me into the waves and give some tips. Learning from someone who really knows how to surf is always a great idea!

Everyone was very kind and helpful that the rental came not just with a surfboard, but also with the sun hose and shoes. They also have a place to store valuables and no valuables and allowed to shower after the surf. Perfect service would recommend 100%.

Our children (age 6, 9) and my husband tried the surfing lesson here. My 6 year old had a private lesson with Noa, and my husband and a 9 year old had a semi private lesson with Kekoa. They had an amazing time! It was an absolute first time for our daughters to try surfing but the beach was very shallow and they were not scared. The teachers were so engaging and encouraging! Noa would clap for her every time she was able to stand on the board, and Kekoa was showing her really cool moves to keep it fun! Both of our kids said it was the best part of their Maui trip!! The professional photos they took for us were great quality also!

OHMYGOSH. If you're dying to try surfing, this is the place to go to. The instructor was awesome. I'm 63 and my sister is 65 and we both got up on the board and it was soooooo fun. We had some experienced surfers with us, too, and they also liked their instructor helping them get better!!! You will love this place. You will love these people. I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Surf Lesson in Kihei with Maui Wave Riders!
I had an amazing experience taking a surf lesson with Maui Wave Riders in Kihei! From the moment I arrived, the team was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly patient. The instructor (Kea) explained everything clearly, made safety a priority, and gave easy tips that helped me feel confident right away.
Once we got in the water, his encouragement and hands-on guidance made a huge difference—I was able to stand up and catch waves sooner than I expected! The location was perfect for beginners, and the whole vibe was fun, relaxed, and supportive.
Whether you’re new to surfing or just looking to improve, Maui Wave Riders is an excellent choice. I left with great memories, new skills, and a huge smile. Highly recommend!
