Eddie and Summer Teixeira

Aloha! We're Eddie and Summer Teixeira, the husband-and-wife team behind Surf Yoga Maui.

We created Surf Yoga Maui to help visitors learn to surf in South Maui. Over the years, we've helped thousands of guests—from first-time surfers and families with young children to couples and solo travelers—enjoy the experience of learning to surf on Maui.

Eddie grew up surfing in Brazil and has spent most of his life in the ocean. Summer helps ensure guests feel welcomed, informed, and supported throughout their Maui surf experience.

Our goal is simple: help make surfing one of the highlights of your Maui vacation.

Catch Waves, Make Memories
Story

Catch Waves, Make Memories

Over the years, we've watched families share waves together, children stand up for the first time, and visitors discover the excitement of surfing. These moments are part of what makes surfing such a memorable part of a Maui vacation.

Whether you're traveling with family, visiting as a couple, or trying surfing for the very first time, we hope your time in the water leaves you with great memories and stories to take home.
