My husband and I recently took part in a 90 minute semi-private surfing lesson through Ka'anaplai Surf Club and can not stop raving about it. From start to finish it was handled so professionally. We started the lesson on land going through safety aspects and learning the do's and don't of what to do on the water. When we got to the water experience it was absolutely amazing!!! Took a few runs before we got our first stand up experience and what a rush :) - totally recommend the club if you are looking for an ultimate experience.
– Sharlene B., TripAdvisorWe took booked the 90 minute group lesson and had a great time. They take the time to go over how to get up on a surf board. We had 2 instructor's that were awesome. Everyone in our group got on their feet. Would recommend if you are at all interested as everyone had a blast! I just wished they sold a Ka'anaplai Surf Club shirt so I could show it off back home! Great time thanks!
– Jeff O., TripAdvisorWe can not say enough of this experience. Me and my husband had never been in the ocean before. The instructors we're extremely knowledgeable, patient and wonderful. We were able to successfully complete of session and have the best time. I would recommend this to everyone - Thank you to our instructor Rocke - he made us stand on that board and SURF! I still can't believe it.
– michellepb22, TripAdvisorI scheduled a private surf lesson for my 11 niece and she loved it. Lucas was her instructor and he did a wonderful job. She was able to get up on the board on her first try and she caught at least a dozen waves in the hour she was on the water. She had a wonderful time. There is no better place than Kaanapali Beach to spend a morning. The pictures they shot were outstanding as well. They are great lasting memories of a great time. Thanks Kaanapali Surf Club!
– Lynn D., TripAdvisorBooked my three kids a semi private surf lesson as my youngest is only eleven. My other two kids are 13 and 16. We lucked out and got an incredible instructor named Devin. He was amazing with each one, not only instructing them but ensuring each one had an experience to remember! Each one left feeling successful and happy. I would highly recommend this company and Devin to all of my family and friends.
– Relax287377, TripAdvisorMy daughter was surfing for the first time. They were very helpful and she had a wonderful experience. They captured her adventure with amazing photos. I would recommend this to anyone!!!
– Kelly M., TripAdvisorMy son and I both did a private lesson with Tide. Being first time surfers he made us feel comfortable, safe, unintimidated, and most important confident we could do it. My son took his first lesson days before in Kaanapali which was nice because it was right by our hotel, but the drive down the highway to meet with Tide was an entire level up in guest service and experience of Maui. We would highly highly recommend Kaanapali Surtf Club and Tide and lessons with him.
