Private Surf Lesson for One Near Lahaina

What a wonderful experience, and I am so glad I was able to cross surfing off my bucket list. Can’t wait to do it again when back in Hawaii. I was extremely grateful at Kyler‘s patience and expertise! Highly recommend!!

The whole surfing experience was marvelous. Sharky is an excellent instructor - very patient, skilled, and encouraging. He helped me stand up on the first try. And it only got better from there. Everything about the experience was breathtaking. A turtle popped up right next to me as I was sitting on my board and you could see a whale thrashing its tail just a few hundred yards away.

Sharky is wonderful. As an added bonus, he stuck around with me past the scheduled time of the lesson, until my body gave out and I couldn't ride another wave. He clearly loves what he does and he's very good at it. Plus he's a kind, lovely person. Ask for him when you book!

Had a great experience with my instructor Eric and Rivers to the Sea. The booking process was easy, they had a good selection of dates and times during my vacation. Eric scouted out the surf location before my lesson and ended up moving locations to ensure that I had the best experience. I hope to be able to book with them again next time I'm on Maui.

Izzy was great from start to finish. At 51 with no experience I was a little nervous but wanted to cross off a bucket list activity. Caught the bug and already planning next year's trip to catch a wave with Izzy!

I had a one- on-one private lesson with Eric - super experienced professional surf coach who provides logical guidance & tips which work. He's not too serious & makes it fun. I also had a turtle pop in on my lesson :-). Highly recommended & a highlight of my trip to Maui

Based on great reviews, we booked 3 private lessons for our family recently and had a great time! Our 8.5 year old and 7 year old both had a blast and immediately wanted to go surfing again. Our instructors were Anne-Marie, Izzy and Stephanie and would definitely surf with them and Rivers to the Sea again.

I had a one-on-one private lesson and it was the highlight of my trip! I had the best time. My instructor was incredibly supportive (I admit I was very nervous going into this lesson) and I felt like she helped me get the basics down fairly quickly. I would highly recommend Rivers To The Sea to anyone who is looking to try surfing for the first time!

So glad that I found Rivers to the Sea Surf School several years ago! I have had several lessons with them over the years.. all of their team including Tide, Jason, Eric, Kane, Wangdu, and Cody are awesome! With their patient, skilled instruction I am making my dream of surfing the north side of Maui come true.

I had a 1.5-hour lesson with Eric Totah at Rivers to the Sea and he's a great teacher! He was a friendly & calm presence, gave clear and helpful instructions and feedback, and I could tell he loves surfing and was focused on helping me learn and enjoy my time in the water. I would highly recommend the company and Eric specifically. I had a really great time.

An amazing surfing lesson for a first time ocean swimmer. Stephanie was truly professional. She is an excellent trainer. Would highly recommend Stephanie for one on one surfing lessons….

My daughter had a great lesson with Stephanie. What an awesome experience. Thank you so much for accommodating us and our timetable and for allowing my daughter to check another item off her bucket list!

Great experience with Kain! My first time learning to surf and in first attempt was up standing riding a (small) wave. Definitely would recommend and look to book again next time in Maui!

This company is outstanding! The customer service was spot on. I highly recommended the one-on-one lessons for those looking for a great lesson. My instructor Izzy was AMAZING! Took the time to help me get up and challenged me as my lesson went on. I’d ask for her again and recommended her to all! Thanks for an amazing Surf today!

I had a great time learningto surf! Kain was a great instructor and had me up on my board right away. Spent the next day practicing on my own and I was glad that I had decided to take a lesson first. I actually felt like I knew what I was doing and could safely keep practicing by myself after my lesson!

Our 12 year old nephew paddled, popped, and rode the waves with Jason! Observing the on land instruction, we learned and could see the concepts and techniques in action! Thank you!

Ann Marie was an excellent instructor. Her communication was perfect as far as exactly where to meet and find her. Our 17 year old daughter was ecstatic about being able to stand up and surf several times, as this was her first time surfing. There is plenty of shade for families to watch the action. An amazing and well run activity!

Eric made everything wonderful. My partner really wanted to try surfing and he lucked out with an instructor who really knew how to connect with his client. My partner ended up going three days in a row and it was fantastic all three days. Eric connects with his client and can really read the type of person he is teaching. He is mellow, kind and prepares his client for any possible problem and how to deal with it.
He is the type of person you know is there for you the entire lesson.
Eric never loses his cool and makes the experience a beautiful memory for life.
