Maui Surfing, The mecca for beginners and pros alike.
Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands. In Maui, you will find beautiful beaches with black, white, or red sand. It is surrounded by 30 miles of sandy beaches although that being said most surfing beaches are on top of reefs so protection gear must be worn for surfers. Maui’s diverse beach breaks, means it has something for everyone.
Maui is the perfect place for beginner surfers or just people taking their first lesson.
The profilic number of suitable gentle surf spots mean there is a equal number of learn to surf schools.
Some places are so shallow, you don't need to know how to swim!
Mauai, is also home to some of the best surf breaks in the world, so there is plenty of opportunity for experienced surfers to be challenged.
Surfing in Maui is a way of life for many of the people lucky enough to be residents here. Although the water is not as crowded as some spots on Hawaii, it nevertheless can seem crowded for a tourist who may fear the dreaded anger of a dropped in local!
Maui has both small and large surf and although there are many well know beaches, there are also plenty of quiet secret spots with good surf if you know where to go.
If you are a surfing traveler, and you want some uncrowded surf, we suggest you hook up with a private surf tour company on the island-it is well worth it!
During the summer months expect to surf the southern shores of the islands. On Maui the name spot would have to be Maalaea, home of the fastest right hand break in the state. On Oahu it would be Sandy's, Diamond Head, Queen's, No. Three's, Kaiser's, Ala Moana Bowls, Tennis Courts, Concessions, Big Rights, Kewalo's and Point Panic just to name a few. In the winter months the focus switches to the northern shores. On Maui there's Hookipa and probably the most beautiful right-hand wave in the world, Honolua Bay. On Oahu the energy will be at spots like Sunset, Pipeline, Waimea Bay and Makaha.
THIS IS SERIOUS WATER. BE SURE OF YOUR ABILITIES IF YOU ARE DECIDING TO TEST YOUR SKILLS.
Some tours begin on a Monday (hotel is booked for Sunday evening) and end on a Thursday. They welcome all surfers, boogie boarders, skim boarders, male or female, young or the young at heart. Why stress over logistics, fret over accommodations, wonder about vehicles or worry over meals? They feature all-inclusive packages! Accommodations, interisland airfare, chauffeured transportation, professional guide and all meals (except dinner) are provided or they can create a tour especially for you. Their costs are based upon stays on Maui and/or Oahu as well as guest participation.
The more participants the less the cost of the tour. They require a minimum of two (2) but can only accommodate a maximum of four (4) per tour. Their intent is to allow you to take in both islands but if you’d like to only stay in Maui or just tour on Oahu that can be done as well. They also do a two day tour (one island). Be sure to pack conservatively. Space is relatively small when accommodating as much as four (4) guests. Please try to bring no more than two (2) surfboards per guest.
We suggest touring only during the weekdays as the weekend crowds can be a mass of humanity. They would need you to arrive on Maui/Oahu the Sunday prior to the start of your excursion to attend our orientation. From There they go over their expected agenda as well as completing the financial aspects of their tour. We ask that you book at least a month prior to your arrival in order to make arrangements for accommodations, local airfare and ground transportation.
Because they are on tour Monday - Thursday their office is only open on Friday and Saturday. Their answering machine will take your calls during the weekdays and your submissions to their site will be handled as promptly as possible. Because of the amount of inquiries/requests it may take a while to get back to you but rest assured that they will respond, in order of arrival, to all inquires. Obviously, Mother Nature will have the last call. During the summer months our surf is generated out of the Southern hemisphere.
The Seaside Hotel is their venue of choice while on the Valley Isle of Maui. Its central location serves as the starting point for our excursions. Located near shopping and dining, the islands major shopping mall "Kaahumanu Center”, is well within walking distance. You'll find the Seaside Hotel to be very quaint, comfortable and economical. Sitting astride of Kahului Harbor, its open air restaurant, lanai's, lobby, courtyard and check-in counter only serve to validate its "Hawaiian Flavor" atmosphere. Check out the Hawaiian artifacts in the hotel lobby.
On the island of Oahu they will reside at the Pagoda Hotel. A longtime local favorite, the Pagoda sits less than a mile from some of the islands best summer time surf. World renowned Ala Moana Bowls and lesser known spots like Canoe's, Queen's, No# Threes, Kaisers, Tennis Courts, Big Rights and Point Panic are at your beckoning. The Pagoda houses a wonderful walk through garden that is excellent for picture taking.
The garden surrounds a Japanese theme restaurant that features an excellent ala carte and buffet menu. Be amazed to find both fresh as well as salt water fish swimming in the same pond with some of the trevalle (Ulua's) at 80 lbs plus. The night life of Waikiki sits just minutes from its location and commutes to the north, west or east shores are less than an hour away.
They will be flying interisland on either Hawaiian Airlines or Aloha Airlines. Approximate travel time is twenty (20) minutes. Please understand that only those with confirmed paid reservations will be allowed to take the tour. They would suggest that if you are continuing on with your stay in the islands it would be best to book your other reservations starting Thursday evening (the last day of the tour). If you’d like to take advantage of our rates and continue on at the Pagoda or Seaside let them know in advance and well book it for you. If not we'll be glad to drop you off at your new accommodations or rental vehicle location at the completion of our excursion.

Their field hrs are 7:00am - 4:00pm. Basically there are no time restraints except for Tues/Thurs when they need to fly out. It’s best to Dawn Patrol to maximize your water time. During the summer time, based on tides, there are spots that are going-off as early as 5:00am and absolutely void of humanity. A three to four hour session followed by a relaxing lunch will leave you more than enough time for either a second session, some sightseeing, snorkeling or just lazing in the sun. This is your tour, so you make the call. They will present a projected agenda but the ultimate decision rests with you or your group. Winter time will put our starting time up by a couple of hours. We can be in the water as early as 7:00am.
