Maui Surf 92

Maui is a great place to learn how to surf, and there is typically a great beginner surf break just outside Lahaina Harbor. Let the professionals at Outrageous Adventures show you the basics. In the two hour lesson you will learn how to paddle and set up for the wave, the proper technique for standing up on the board, and important considerations for your safety.

First-time surfers will benefit greatly from a lesson! Outrageous Adventures is SO CONFIDENT that they will succeed in getting you to stand up in your very first lesson that they will do the next lesson for free if you don't ... or even give you your money back!

If you know the basics, Outrageous Adventures also does lessons for intermediate surfers to help you improve your skills.

To ensure personal attention, group lessons are limited to no more than 6-1 student-to-instructor ratio. Private one-on-one lessons are also available.

The cost of the lesson includes surfboard, rash guard, and reef walkers. Group lesson times are 8am, 11am, and 2pm daily. Private lessons are available at 8am and 2pm.

To ensure your safety, all instructors are long-time Maui residents who know the local waters well, and are certified in first aid and CPR. Checkin is at the Outrageous Surf Shop in downtown Lahaina across the street from the famous Banyan Tree. The spot where the lessons is done is called "Breakwall" and is just south of Lahaina Harbor. For those who want to go along and watch or take pictures, you can walk out on the breakwall and you will be very close to the action! Breakwall is an excellent spot to do these lessons because it consistently receives good waves for beginner lessons no matter which direction the swell is coming.


NCL cruise ship passengers are able do surf lessons in the afternoon on their first day in port in Kahului or the morning of the second day but it requires an hour drive to Lahaina. Please note that they do not offer lessons on Sunday. We can arrange a rental car for you for $39 per day. For rental cars with cruise ship shuttle pick-up see our rental car page. Lahaina cruise ship passengers can easily do lessons at 11am or 2pm as this is a two block walk from Lahaina Harbor.
