These lessons take place at Mile Marker 19 off Highway 30 (Honopi’ilani Hwy), at a fantastic beginner and family surf spot just south of Lahaina town, called “guardrails.” This secluded surf break is ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers because of its gentle, sloping, long waves that break in clear water, close to the shore. It also has a white sandy beach with a generous amount of shade for family members or friends who wish to watch or snorkel along the beach during your lesson.

The 1.5-hour lesson will focus on water-safety, proper surf technique, surfing style and etiquette. Rest assured that you will be in the water almost right away. These personalized surf lesson include a 10-15 minute water safety briefing, a demonstration on paddling techniques, tips on how to get into waves, and of course, how to stand and stay standing up! Your guide will want you to feel as comfortable as possible on your surfboard prior to getting in the water and this briefing gives you time to ask any surfing related questions you may have. After paddling out to the break together, your surf instructor will be there to coach and guide you into the waves. Their focus in the water will be on your safety as well as proper wave etiquette, surfing style, and technique.
