Two Hours on Maui: Private Surf Lessons That Put You on Waves in Lahaina.
Set off from the Guardrails in Lahaina for a private, two-hour surf lesson designed to teach safety, technique and wave-riding through focused, hands-on coaching. Lessons begin on land to build the fundamentals, then move into the ocean where a low student-to-instructor ratio keeps you close to an instructor as you practice catching waves.
Highlights

Small ratios, private lessons
Keep It Simple Hawaii runs private lessons with the island's lowest student-to-instructor ratio (3:1), so instruction is hands-on and tailored to each guest and their ohana.
A full two hours to learn and ride
Lessons are two hours long, beginning with on-land safety and technique before heading into the ocean, giving students the longest time in the water to practice catching waves.
Boards, rashguards and optional media
Surfboard, rashguard and water shoes are provided; premium media packages are available for purchase at the surf spot and retail merchandise is sold in the operator's Napili Plaza shop.

How the lesson feels
The lesson moves from clear, land-based instruction into sustained, guided practice in the sea: you learn safety and paddling technique on shore, then spend the bulk of the two-hour session working with an instructor in the water to catch wave after wave.
