SURFING LESSONS

Soul Surfing Maui invites you to try the sport that was once the favorite pastime of Polynesian Kings–Surfing!

Brian DeCook is owner and head coach at Soul Surfing Maui and truly loves what he does for a living. His competent instruction staff is comprised of four skilled coaches who are all close friends, accomplished surfers and very knowledgeable in Hawaiian waters. All SSM instructors are First Aid/CPR certified by Red Cross, and have successfully completed the 'Maui Life Guard Training' course .

Soul Surfing Maui runs classes at the best beginner surf spots on the island. The optimum surf conditions here, combined with Soul Surfing’s elite instruction methods, make learning to surf fun, easy and quite possibly will be the highlight of your vacation. Brian and his staff have a genuine interest in seeing you succeed, and if for any reason you’re not 100% satisfied with their program–its on Brian!

Your class begins by being fitted for your booties, rash guard, wet suit, and the appropriate beginner foam long board. Next, your instructor will take you through a 20 minute land orientation where you will learn about wave selection, paddling, "popping-up", how to turn, how to dismount, water safety and crowd etiquette. Once this is accomplished, your instructor will lead you out into the easy rollers and coach you into your first waves. With a little help picking out the right waves, and an occasional push-in from your coach, you will be up and surfing in no time. This is surfing made easy folks! Having the right coach, the right board, and the right spot is all it takes to get you started and stoked on SURFING. It doesn't matter if you’re 5 or 75, this is your chance to learn!

So make your reservation, come on down and learn to surf with a little bit of soul.

Lessons are by appointment only, call 808-870-SURF (7873) or email Brian@SoulSurfingMaui.com to make a reservation.
