Why West Maui is Ideal for Maui Surf Lessons
West Maui is home to Kaanapali’s stunning 3-mile white sand beach that has become the centerpiece of Maui’s surf scene. The gentle waves at Hanakaoo Beach (Canoe Beach) are the perfect classroom for your first surf experience. With water temperatures hovering between 78–82°F year-round, you’ll enjoy comfortable learning conditions without the shock of cold water that challenges beginners elsewhere. We’ve welcomed the increase of travelers seeking Kaanapali’s uncrowded breaks with open arms by providing an accessible location just 10 minutes north of Lahaina’s famous surf.

Couples frequently book private sessions, combining romantic adventure with stunning beach backdrops. Solo travelers appreciate the safety and welcoming atmosphere, while first-timers to Kaanapali find confidence in the beginner-friendly conditions, more adventurous surfers enjoy the waves in Lahaina and beyond.
Group Surf Lessons in West Maui
We offer group surfing classes in Lahaina, where you can meet some other adventurous people looking to figure out the sport and learn from the best.

Morning sessions from 7–10 am take advantage of Kaanapali’s famously “glassy” wave conditions when winds are calmest. Your scheduling flexibility includes same-day bookings, which have increased for travelers staying in nearby hotels and accommodations. We provide all necessary equipment and have access to reef-safe sunscreen for those in need to protect both you and Maui’s precious coral ecosystems.
