Escape from the crowded tourist areas for a private, 90-minute surf lesson for two near Lahaina, Maui. Choose from an early-, mid-, or late-morning time frame. This surf session will focus on water safety, proper surf technique, surfing style, and etiquette. The experienced, professional instructor guarantees students will stand up, catch a wave, and leave the beach as a certified surfer. All lessons are private so they will never combine guests from separate parties. All the necessary equipment — rash guard, state-of-the-art soft-top board, and reef shoes — included.

Sharky was our instructor for the morning and he was incredibly insightful and made our lesson incredibly fun.

My husband and I booked a private lesson with Sharky and we had the best time!! We initially had a bit of a scheduling snafu, and Tide worked with us to get us out on the ocean. The lesson was so much fun and my husband and I both were able to stand and surf Maui by the end! Highly recommend Rivers to The Sea!!

Amazing!! Booked a private lesson for our two kids. They both absolutely LOVED it! Highly recommend. Their surf instructor, Eric Totah, was THE BEST. Knowledgeable, professional, patient, and clearly skilled at what he does because both kids were up and surfing in NO TIME!! Plus it was so reasonable ($$$).

Sharks was a great instructor and took the time to show the girls how to be successful and ride waves. He took the time to show them how not to rush to stand which allowed them to get a feel for the board and the balance which ultimately led to them riding much longer and more successfully. Highly recommend this experience and Sharky

Our guide was patient and knowledgeable. My wife and I are senior citizens and have never surfed before. But yet we each caught a wave and rode it to the shore. The experience was very tiring, but well worth the time and energy. Definitely a highlight of our Maui vacation!

Me and my fiancé had the best time learning to surf from Eric who has been surfing his entire life. Great instructor! I have never been on any kind of board before but he had me up on the board my 2nd try.
Something I never thought I’d be able to do.
Thanks Eric!

This was our first time surfing in Maui and we had a blast learning with Izzy, she’s a great instructor. She was very friendly, chill, nice and she didn’t let us quit until we were able to get a wave.

Eric was so patient and kind with my 8 year old son. It was a great experience for both of us. We were late because of a traffic accident and Eric was still generous with his time. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

My two teens, ages 17 and 13, had never been surfing, but Kody was an amazing instructor and had them both up on boards within an hour! He was so patient and kind, and just really good with them. I can't say enough good things. Communication ahead of time was great! We changed locations because conditions were better and it was super-easy to find him. I highly recommend Rivers By The Sea, and particularly Kody--he's the BEST!

Kody was fantastic! Walked us through the discipline of surfing and techniques. What a blast I had with my son/daughter to experience together. He even pushed us towards the end to catch another good wave. Hang ten and major Maholo to Kody! You rock!!!!
