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 8:30am, 11am, and 1:30pm daily.
Private lessons are available at 8:30am and 1:30pm.
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.

Tips
Learning to surf
is a LOT easier than most people think. While it isn't particularly
difficult to learn, it isn't intuitive at all! Some people just go
out and rent surfboards and try to teach themselves ... trial and
error is a lousy way to learn to surf. There are important issues
about balancing your body and particular steps to learn to be able
to get to your feet that you aren't likely to figure out on your
own. Take a lesson and you will catch more waves while you are here
on vacation! Beginners
learn on a "soft-top" longboard ... it is a forgiving and
stable platform on which to ride your first waves. Rash guards are
worn to protect your skin from the surface of the board ... and reef
walkers are special shoes that are designed to protect your feet
from sharp coral and sea urchins. I
often surf the area where lessons are held in Lahaina ... there are
a variety of surf schools, but I book with Outrageous Adventures
because I KNOW that they do the best job of instruction. I have seen
students with other schools who spent most of their time watching
their instructor surf without them!!! Don't let this happen to you
... book a surf lessons with the best! Get
out there and catch some waves!
