Looking for surf lessons on Maui? If you are planning your Hawaiian vacation on Maui and want to take surf lessons near Wailea, come join us in Kihei which is just a few minutes down the road.
The closest surf lessons to Wailea are located in the heart of Kihei at Kalama Beach Park. Beginner and intermediate surfers will feel immediately at home as wave riders of all skill levels frequent this surf location.
What Are The Waves Like In Kihei
The park has gentle, beginner-friendly waves, and semi-shallow water making it one of the best places to learn to surf and progress your skills.
When are Surf Lessons
Surf lessons are in the mornings Monday–Saturday usually at 7am, 8am, 9am, or 10am. Surf schools are closed on Sundays, due to business county permit rules.
We typically recommend the earlier the better due to the wind that traditionally picks up late morning, making the water conditions not as optimal. We also think it is nice to get into the water before the peak season crowds.
How Long Are Surf Lessons
Lessons are two hours long, and all equipment is included (boards, reef shoes, rash guards).
What to Bring to Surf Lessons
We provide all the surf equipment you need to learn to surf. You just need to wear something to surf in, such as a swimsuit and/or board shorts. We also recommend bringing sunblock, a towel to dry off, and water to hydrate after surfing. You may also want to bring some dry clothes to change into after your lesson.
Can Family And Friends Watch
Yes! Bring your family and friends to surf with you or to watch! They will be able to see you and can watch from shore. There is on-site parking, public restrooms, showers, a walking path, and a playground. Across the street from the park are cute cafes, food trucks, restaurants, and fun shops that sell fun Hawaiian trinkets and products by local artists.
How to Get To Surf Lessons
Most surf students have a rental car, or they arrange transportation with their hotel and/or vacation rental. Uber and Lyft are also popular forms of transportation.
Surf lessons are located in Kihei at Kalama Park across the street from the 76 Gas Station and the little popular Kihei Caffe. Once you confirm your surf lesson booking(s) you will receive a receipt and confirmation email with directions to the surf van at Kalama Park where you will check-in.
We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early to park and check-in for surfing classes. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot by the surf van.
What if You Want Multiple Day Lessons To Progress Your Surf Skills
If you are interested in progressing your surf skills, then more time in the water is what you need. You can progress your surf skills by booking multiple-day surf lessons such as our 3 Day Surf Progression (each day is a two-hour lesson).
You will learn the anatomy of a surfboard, surf etiquette, ocean awareness, safety tips, paddling techniques, pop-up, reading the waves, timing, turning, and navigation skills.
