Private Surf Lessons Maui

Private Surf Lessons Maui

Our lessons are taught on one of Maui’s most exclusive and beautiful surf beaches. Our sessions are 1.5 hours, and include a surfboard, rash guard. Ask us about surf photos when you book. During our lessons, we teach the fundamentals of surfing. Each session begins with a land lesson to get you warmed up and comfortable. Then with a surfboard we practice the skills we need to get out in the ocean safely.

In your surf lesson Maui you will learn:

• The parts of the surfboard and equipment selection (fins, wax, board etc).
• Positioning on the surfboard and in the ocean (alignment and balance).
• Paddling technique, timing, and wave selection (strengthening and conditioning).
• Pop-ups, exploring your stance and how muscle memory works.
• Ocean Etiquette, rules, and safety of surfing with others around you.
• Stretching and warmups, which are essential parts of keeping the body flexible and relaxed.

Private surf lessons offer the full attention of the surf instructor, so you get extra support that is focused on specific skills that will help your surfing improve drastically.

Private group surf lessons are a fun way to spend time with family and friends while learning a new skill and enjoying Maui’s beautiful coastline.

Our Private Surf lessons cater to:

• Beginner surf lessons are for surfers who wish to learn the fundamentals of surfing while having fun and staying safe.
• Intermediate lessons are for surfers who are ready to gain new skills and practice turning on the surf board, maneuvering down the line-up and surf etiquette.
• Advanced surf sessions are for surfers that are ready to navigate larger surf, pushing themselves physically using surf techniques to improve overall performance.
• Expert surf training is for surfers to gain experience riding World-class waves and working with an experienced surfer and trainer.

Age and Swimming Regulations

Here at Maui Surf and Soul we value the safety of our new students and friends. Due to dynamic conditions that occur while surfing we have important safety policies.  Being a strong swimmer is not a must but being able to tread water and feel confident in the ocean is important. Our policies state that any student AGES 10 AND UNDER or one that is not a confident swimmer must book a private lesson. A private lesson does not ‘separate’ your child from the rest of the family, but their own instructor will stay with them on the water the entire time. By booking a private lesson, our Maui surf and Soul staff can ensure the safety of our students and therefore students are able to get the most out of their surf lesson.
