Land lesson, then into the water. If the surf isn’t right, we may move your lesson to a better time or spot.

Here at Maui Surf and Soul, we love surfing and we love spreading the stoke of surfing with our new surfing friends. Surfing dates back hundreds of years and became popular when Duke Kahanamoku shared it with the world. Not only is surfing an addictive and fun-loving pastime, it is a longstanding Hawaiian tradition. Our goal is to provide high quality surf lessons that leave our guests smiling and feeling more connected to the ocean environment. Also as surfers, we pride ourselves on delivering an authentic surf experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life. This is why our lessons are led by a dedicated team of watermen and women who have the patience and surfing knowledge to help you catch the best waves!

Join us to experience the true art of surfing with the happiest surf instructors on Maui.

“The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun.”

Yoga and Meditation Experience

Yoga and meditation helps keep the body and mind clear of unnecessary clutter. It also helps with surf flexibility, performance and recovery.

Our instructors

Learn from local watermen and women

Maui Surf & Soul was started by a surfer with more than 30 years in the water. Today every lesson is led by one of our patient, experienced instructors, who know Ukumehame’s waves and love helping first-timers stand up.

Every lesson is private, so your instructor’s attention stays on you and your group.

Good to know

I’ve never surfed. Is that OK?

Yes – our lessons are built for first-timers. Ukumehame has gentle, beginner-friendly waves.

What should I bring?

Swimsuit, towel, water and reef-safe sunscreen. We provide the surfboard and rash guard.

Can kids join?

Absolutely. Kids 10 and under, and anyone not confident in the water, book a private lesson so an instructor is with them the whole time.

What if I need to cancel, or the surf isn’t good?

Reschedule for free with at least 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice are refunded minus a $50 per person fee, and no-shows aren’t refunded. If we cancel because of weather or surf conditions, you can rebook or get a full refund.

Where do we meet?

At Ukumehame Beach Park on the west side of Maui. Call (808) 727-9442 when you arrive and we’ll come find you.
