Not every Maui beach is kind to beginners, so this list sticks to surf schools at gentle, slow-rolling breaks like the Cove in Kihei. Most first-timers stand up within the first hour. Book the morning slot; onshore wind chops everything up by noon.
Learn to surf in the beautiful beaches of Kihei! Join our group surf lesson for two hours of expert instruction and ride the waves like a pro.
