All Reviews for Surfing Lessons & Watersports

We really enjoyed watercycling. The fellows did an amazing job of getting us into and out of the water. We definately would go again. The cycles were easy to pedel and felt safe.

Really loved this experience for being my first time on a water bike. The water bikes felt even easier to ride than a kayak!

I am now a HUGE fan of these bikes. I just booked this tour to keep my husband busy and It was the perfect way to start our vacation. K since I can’t remember is beautiful name was an awesome guide. My husband and I were the only ones that signed up for that particular day and to have the guide all to ourselves was a special treat. K was so informative and kept up or slowed down to our pace and we got to hang with the turtles in the area.
I highly recommend adding this water bike tour to your itinerary.

Me and my older kids all had such a good time together, and these are the moments that matter most!

Me and my daughter were able to stand up thanks to our instructor. fabulous company!

Nice and easy water cycling, first time doing it but caught on quick!

I really enjoyed this experience, as my instructor got me up on waves which is the goal and felt amazing!

The instructor was great. Helpful, fun and kind. Ended up with a group of 3 students. If there has been the full class of 4 the day might have seemed a bit slow as a lot of the time is spent waiting for waves and taking turns.

Great way to spend a morning on the beautiful blue water of Wailea. We saw turtles swimming around us, whales off in the distance, and held a pencil urchin. The guys that run this are so nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.

Our instructor Kioki was so cool. He says he’s a surfer not and instructor and we learned so quick. We felt comfortable and after we got the hang of it Kioki let us catch our own waves. Honestly so easy to learn how to surf with Kioki.

It was a smooth and kind and generous session for our son (16y old). He enjoyed so much his time with his teacher that our son asked for more surf in San Francisco.
The teacher was patient, focused on kid, involved with their success…. Good job guys.

This is my first surfing experience.It’s safety. The coach is very patient.

Thanks Veltra for being our booking agency for Goofy Foot Surf School in Maui. We had Inaldo as an instructor and he was great. I booked a private surf sesh for my girlfriend and I for the early morning. It was a surreal experience, as we were the first two people out surfing for the day and it seemed very private and exclusive. As the day went on, I saw other surfing groups coming out from other surfing schools, all of which had like 5-10 people per instructor. Goofy Foot Surf School gets a 10/10.

We had an amazing time with Sean ! He took the time to explain everything to us and was patient as we were first timers ! We were able to get up and ride some waves ! 2 hours was the perfect amount of time ! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn !!

Instructors were awesome and we had a great time!

We've done a few surfing lessons over the past decade. Our instructor this time topped them all. He was funny, kind, patient with our autistic son to the point of putting him on his own board and riding tandem. He spent half the class putting the extra effort to building up our boy's confidence before he was ready to try surfing on his own.

The picture of our kid's face when he stood up and surfed on his own was something worth buying - and we don't often purchase the pictures taken over the course of the lesson.

Josh didn't just teach him to surf, he gave him a lesson in confidence and perseverance that our son won't easily forget. The fact that he had the time of his life was just the umbrella on top of the coconut.

Overall, a good experience for new comers.

Our instructors were awesome.

Thanks Goofy Foot Surfing!

Sean was fantastic and really wanted us to do well! Highly recommend!

My kids love this activity we have in Maui. Their instructor are great too. They were able to enjoy and stand on the board and surf with the waves. They said its one of a kind things to do and experience. They will surf again and this time with pride. Awesome.

It was an absolute great time. The instructor provided such eat direction and assisted in giving you the most successful attempts at learning to surf. They also provided amazing professional photographs.

Our instructors, Luke and Armadillo rock. They were so patient with us. I was able to ride more waves than anticipated especially never surfed before. Two of my friends are 75 . And were all able to get up and ride a wave

This was a great excursion. I was a first time surfer. The waves were perfect. Not too big, but enough to where I was able to get up a lot. The instructors were very helpful. We surfed in an area where my friends were able to get some good pictures. I really enjoyed this.

It was fun and we were only 3 in a group and the instructor did everything to make sure we could stand up.

We had a wonderful time. Luke our instructor was fantastic, he was patient and encouraging and spent the time to make sure we knew what to do. It was a fantastic experience.

This was our first time and our instructor Kevin was amazing! He is a great teacher and super fun. We will be back for the more advanced lesson next year.

Martin was a great instructor! Windsurfing was physically challenging but in a fun accessible way! Perfect spot to learn (shallow water, minimal waves, just enough wind). We definitely want to try windsurfing again!

We surprised our 10 year old son with surfing lessons on our recent trip to Maui. He was so excited when he finally found out what we were doing.

When we finally found Goofy Foot they were already getting people suited up and checked in. It is a little difficult to find, but worth the search. (Just so you know, it's past the school in a small shopping center on Front Street in Lahaina. Not in the main shopping district).

We checked in and they got him all suited up, he was the only kid that morning. They have small groups, only five people per instructor. They also have a photographer, $20 for 20 pictures. The pictures were good, not fantastic, but the price was great and we have a few really good ones.

The photographer took everyone down to the beach and gave them a lesson in hamming it up for the camera. Then the instructor came down and the lesson started.

They learned all the moves to get up, stay up, speed up and slow down on the sand before moving the board

The song says"Catch a wave and your sitting on top of the world" I DID IT!! On Feb. 13th I had the unique chance to learn how to surf. Let me say I am 65 years old and our(my) instructor Stacey did it all right. I had good "pre-flight" instruction and indeed got up on 3 waves. I did not stand up, but the feeling of being on a board on my knees was remarkable. From check-in to instruction to surfing..it was all ONO. Mahalo guys it was SUPER.
Bill du Laney..the old guy

I have taken surf lessons before on other islands and with other surfing school. Goofy Foot is without a doubt the best instructions I have ever had. I was able to stand up and surf after 2 runs. My boys (10 & 6) caught on even faster. I'd recommend private lessons for couples and group of friends. You'll get more surfing time with private lessons. I would only go back and do intermediate lessons with these guys.

Excellent organization.
Very professional, yet down to earth and friendly.
I learned a lot more than I expected and had a blast the entire time.
