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.
