About the lessons:
Our standard surf lesson is two hours long, this includes some talk time and a short land lesson, before getting into the water and catching some waves. Most people will be fully satisfied (and exhausted) after their surf session.
About the location:
The lessons are held close to shore in a sheltered bay. The waves break a short distance offshore over a gently sloping reef. This makes the waves predictable and relatively gentle. (These locations do not have large shore-break waves, and are better for beginners). The students will not need to paddle too far from shore to get their rides.
Only minimal paddling is required. The water depth varied from knee-deep to chest-deep. there are deep water sections in the channels, so all surf participants must be able to swim (no exceptions). Parents and spectators can stay on the beach and can get some great views and photos of the action. For safety reasons, Non-surfers should not enter the water at the surfing location.
Beginner Surfing
Surfing is a lot of fun. Learn about safety in the waves and then paddle on to your first one. With some practice, you will be standing up before you know it. We provide all the equipment. Lessons run Monday thru Saturday, year-round. Lesson start times are 8am and 10am. Beginner surfing lessons are held at Kalama Park in Kihei. All lessons are by appointment only. The minimum age for mixed adult group classes is 12 years old. Children's lessons available for kids 8 years and up.
Kids Surfing Camps:
All summer long we run weekly three-day Surfing camps. We do safety talks, theory, and plenty of water time. 8:00am to 10:00am each day. We provide the gear including a lycra rash guard shirt to wear. Students will be placed in small groups according to their weight and experience level. Students can bring their own reef shoes, towels, and sunscreen. Ages 11 years and up.
