Mom’s Surf Camp Day gathers mothers of all levels on the sand and in the gentle breaks off Ukumehame Beach Park for a focused, supportive morning of coaching led by pro surfer Philippe Chagas. The session is deliberately small and skill-focused: a beach briefing, guided in-water instruction, and time to practice and connect with other moms in Maui’s beginner-friendly surf.
