Our Semi-Private Surf lessons for two is the perfect lesson for beginners to learn how to surf in an intimate setting with only two students to one instructor. You will have your own private instructor to your group of two students to insure you guys both all have a great time out in the water! You will start with a private land lesson to go over ocean safety and beginner level basic steps to the art of surfing before entering the water. When you are in the water the instructor will be able to focus on just you two out there to help make sure everybody is having a great experience while staying SAFE! This lesson is a great options for couples, siblings or a parent an child wanting to share the magical experience of surfing together.

I wish I could give every single person we encountered at Sea Maui a 1,000 out of 5 star rating. Truly incredible and knowledgeable people all the way around. We had a 6, 10, and 12 year old all do a private lesson and we felt so safe with their instructors (the Steves and JT). It was my kids’ favorite thing we did out of the entire trip.
Thank you!!

My husband and 11 year-old daughter did a private lesson with Devon during our stay on Maui. Devon was a great instructor and my daughter feel comfortable in the water and on her board with this being her first attempt at surfing. Highly recommend doing lessons with him at Sea Maui Surf!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Every staff member was super friendly and helpful in booking, talking about conditions, safety for kids, etc. And the surf instructors Devon and JT were amazing. They created such a memorable experience for my kids (ages 7 and 9). The waves were the biggest the kids had ever been in and Devon and JT took amazing care of them, got them lots of great waves, and both kids had an incredible experience. It all blew away my expectations.

Devon was a great surf teacher for our 11 year old. They had a great time, and he was able to handle his own board and surf most of the lesson! Devon was great at making him feel comfortable and safe, yet pushed him gently to get out there and have fun. Highly recommend!!!

We booked a noon surf lesson for our family of three first time surfers (mom, dad and 10 year old son) the last week of February 2024. When we arrived, JT explained that high winds and surf made for less than ideal conditions for beginners, and offered to reschedule us for another day. Since it was our last day on Maui we decided to give it a go, and do the best we could for as long as we could. JT was on board and recruited Devon to come along with us. Best day ever! JT and Devon were professional, fun and encouraging. They found a mellower spot for us down the beach, shepherded us in the water, set us up to catch waves, and cheered us on. They took such good care of us, especially our son, and instilled confidence and enthusiasm. We enjoyed a full lesson and can’t wait to get back out on the water. Jamie’s photos were terrific, she even captured a whale breaching in the background as we waited on the water for our next wave. We will 100% rebook with Sea Maui Surf and ask for JT and Devon—they’re heros for making our last day in Maui a huge success!!! Thank you!

wow I am so glad we booked our surf lesson with this group. We had a great time and my daughter was up on her second wave!
I cant say enough how great Devan was as our instructor. He was cool, mellow, patient, and supportive.
My daughter spent the next 3 days looking at beginner boards, wetsuits and good beginner places to surf in our area.
We booked the semi private lesson for 2. At first I though 1.5 hours wasnt long, but its a perfect amount of time. You can always go and rent a board if you want to continue on your own. But for a first lesson, this is perfect. I think most of the schools here will be good, but our experience with SMS was exceptional and I highly recommend.

We had two instructors for our family of four. (It counted as two semi-private lessons.) Our youngest is 9, so she had her own instructor and the other three of us shared the other instructor. Steve and Devon were both AMAZING! I cannot say enough great things about them for our first time surf experience. They were patient, thorough, and really cared about our surfing success AND our comfort level.
Since our daughter is 9, she was required to have her own instructor. (Since she was under 10.) At first she was hesitant to not surf with me, but I had no idea what I was doing! She and Devon became fast friends and she loved that he sometimes surfs with his dog on his time off! She said it was the best day ever!! She enjoyed her lessons so much, she would look for Devon every time we were on the beach. :)
Steve was excellent with my 13 year old, my husband, and myself. We aren't generally thrill seekers, but we all wanted to try surfing in Maui. Steve made sure he took care to work with each of us on our level. My son just popped right up without issue!
Sea Maui Surf was the perfect choice for our family. We had the BEST time, felt totally safe, and the location was incredibly convenient. It's right on Ka'anapali Beach and we just walked right over from the Westin Resort. Thank you to Devon and Steve for such a great surfing experience for our family! Mahalo!

Definitely worth it! Be aware that sometimes they have to cancel your session due to weather or wind concerns but they will make sure to either refund you for parking/your session or they will reschedule it! So I recommend trying to plan this earlier during your trip incase this happens and you have to reschedule! Our instructor, Steve was also AMAZING! He is a really great teacher especially if you are trying it for the first time! Everyone else on staff was great as well!

I’ve been wanting to suerte for years but always found a reason to bail. This time around with my 19 year old son besides me, we signed up and I’m so glad we did.
Devin was our instructor and he was so calm, friendly and knowledgeable. He did a great job covering the basics and getting us on a proper wave.
Highly, highly recommend to others. We opted to pay a little more for a semi-private which allowed us to get more time in the waves since there were only two of us versus four.
