My experience was awesome! Tony was my instructor and she made my surfing lesson worth ever penny. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very considerate. I can't wait to come back to Maui next year for more surfing lessons. I highly recommend Surf Yoga Maui and their instructors.

I’m a 63-year-old amputee (for 12 years), and its fair to say that surfing was never on my radar screen, even when all my body parts were intact. Last week, on a Mom and Sisters’ Trip to Maui, three of my younger sisters (all in their fifties, with minimal surfing experience) took daily lessons with Eddie. They came back to the house every morning just glowing with joy over their huge progress and the great fun they were having. On their last day, Eddie took our 87-year-old Mother out for a tummy-down ride – she loved it! Then it was my turn – I had a blast! Eddie had me standing on the board in the first few minutes. I never made it upright for long, but it was a total hoot. Those of you who are buying lessons for your kids and then just sitting on the beach to watch are missing a fabulous, life-changing opportunity. I’m going to practice on a balance board and head back for more. Everyone involved with SurfYoga Maui – Eddie, Summer, Matias and Sara – is genuinely kind and very good at what they do; they exemplify Aloha.

I have to start off with that I NEVER leave reviews but had such a wonderful time with both Summer and Eddie I felt it was important. We started off with a yoga session before surf lessons and it was a beautiful location! It was quiet and secluded for us. Summer was an excellent instructor for any yoga level and we felt it was a huge help for surf lessons. I think it was great to be "warmed up" for surfing especially since they are very similar. Then we went right down the road for surf leasons. Eddie was AWESOME! My husband and I are not the most athletic people but we were both able to get up (and stay up) during the lesson. He was very experienced and even showed us a headstand on the board when a wave came in. He was very fun and spent time with us and was very helpful. I felt very comfortable in the water and was not concerned about falling at all. They had a photographer there taking photos of us which was really a fun addition to the lesson, and the price was very reasonable to purchase! Overall we had a great experience at both lessons, and definitely think taking them together made it better. They also give great lunch recommendations for after the lesson! If I am fortunate enough to get back there, I will be a repeat customer.

Summer is super professional and friendly and Eduardo is a great instructor. Eduardo always had safety in mind and made sure we had all fun and no pain. My 14 year old daughter was up and surfing in 20 minutes from hitting the water. He even found a way to get me (47 year old out of shape dad) up and going in just a bit longer. We had a fantastic time and it was great bonding for me and my daughter. - Awesome!

Hey guys
Thanks again for a great experience. During the 7 lessons with Eddie, he really helped us improve our surfing skills. Spotting the wave, catching the wave & riding the wave :-) Eddie's an excellent instructor, very ocean savvy and a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to coming back in the summer.

We had a remarkable time surfing with Eddie! He quickly reviewed some basic safety concepts with us since this was not our first time surfing. We wanted to progress with our basic skills and he provided excellent instruction on reading the waves, positioning for the take off, and beginning to initiate turns. We'll definitely surf with Surf Yoga Maui the next time we're in Maui! Mahalo!

Both being beginners to yoga and surfing, My husband and I enjoyed the yoga session which helped to train and prepare us mentally and physically for the surf lesson. We felt safe and able to focus on the basics of learning to surf. Thank you to Summer and Edward for our favorite experience on Maui! It was so fun to catch waves together! I hope bring our kids next time;)

Eddie, Summer and the rest of the folks at Surf Yoga Maui were incredible. They really care about you, the surfing, and having a good time. We couldn't have asked for a group of surf instructors that totally understood us. They were completely amazing and will surf with them any chance we get!

We surfed with surf yoga Maui as part of a wedding event. The staff were very knowledgeable in their instruction and gave each person individual attention while we were out in the surf. It was the first time my wife and I had surfed and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. We will probably be able to rent surfboards whenever we are anywhere there is a surfing possibility. Thanks again to Summer and her staff!

At first we were worried that Surfing would be difficult but we had a blast learning from Surf Yoga Maui. Our instructor Eddie was very knowable with lots of surfing experience. He was very safety conscious, prompt and he made our learning experience enjoyable. We enjoyed his way of teaching. The location and the beach we are on every morning was excellent. We booked for 3 days private lessons and it was all worth it. My youngest who is 11 yrs old manage to stand up on his first attempt on day 1 and by the 2nd day, he can turn left/right do back to back 180 degrees on top of the surf, did reverse surfing, etc. I will recommend Surf Yoga Maui to everyone that will try surfing in Maui. The photos we got from Matias were of good quality photos. Thanks a lot Summer Peters and will definitely try surfing again with you guys when we are back in Maui.

We were referred by a friend and the communication before we arrived had us sold. Eddie and Summer know their craft and we already recommend them to a family who had just landed on the island as we were departing. Get to know these people and your experience will be amazing!!

The surfing lessons from Surf Yoga Maui were fantastic! Our instructor Eddie was extremely supportive, knowledgeable, and helpful. He had our group of rookies from Seattle surfing on the second wave. Our group had a great experience, and I highly recommend taking lessons through Surf Yoga Maui!

Surfing with Eddie was terrific. He put an emphasis on safety from the beginning of the lesson creating a perfect learning environment allowing me to enjoy surfing in a fun atmosphere. Eddie's knowledge and experience as a surfer and instructor made each lesson memorable. I highly recommend Surf Yoga Maui to everyone and I look forward to surfing with them on my next trip.

Summer and Eddie are great. Both very experienced in their respective fields. Yoga overlooking the ocean was amazing and Summer supplies the yoga gear (she won't even let you help her carry them because Eddie doesn't want your arms to get tired before surfing!). Eddie is an amazing surfer (ask him to surf on his head) and we were riding the wave in no time. If you like yoga and surfing, this is the perfect experience!

I booked a yoga/surf session online as a Christmas gift for my sisters family while vacationing on Maui. They have 5 teenage girls who all attend school away from home so their time together is precious and I wanted to give them a shared experience. Well, I received 150 pictures and have been named AUNTIE OF THE YEAR! for the choice. They all enjoyed the yoga and the surfing was over the top fun. It was perfect.
There is a leap of faith in booking something like this online but rest assured, Surf Yoga lived up to my expectation of a great family experience - and we set the bar pretty high.
I will book a similar session for myself and all my sisters for our women's trip this spring! Can't wait!
Mahalo Summer.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Surf Yoga Maui! Summer was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable and very patient with our varying yoga abilities (we ranged from a moderate yoga practicer to another who had never done yoga before). Her patience and excitement over guiding our beachside yoga practice made the experience fun and pleasant for all of us!
The surf lesson was just as enjoyable and Eddie was equally as patient and helpful! We were all able to stand up on the board and enjoyed our surf lessons and time in the water! We all had a lot of laughs, felt comfortable and enjoyed learning how to (or at least try to) surf!
Summer and Eddie were a true joy to be taught by and their passion for yoga, surfing and living life to the fullest was contagious! We had an great experience with Surf Yoga Maui and would definitely recommend it! Whether you want to start or continue a journey in yoga or surfing (or even just try out both for the day), doing so in the beauty of Hawaii with Surf Yoga Maui is totally worth it!

Summer & Eddie were fantastic. They easily taught all 3 of us girls no problem, making us all feel safe and strong on the surf board. Was a rush getting up for the first time!
Morning yoga with Summer is must do, she catered the class to our private lesson on the beach, warming up our back and shoulders for surfing.
Great price, great experience, very safe and so much fun! The sooner we can get back to Maui, the sooner we'll come back to see you and surf :)
Thank you, sincerely...

Surf Yoga was the highlight of our trip! We started the day at the most amazing picturesque location for an hour of yoga led by Summer. Summer was waiting for us when we arrived and provided everything we needed. We wished we could do yoga with Summer every day! We rode our bikes down to start our surfing lesson with Eduardo. Eduardo was awesome! He gave us a quick tutorial on land and we were in the water surfing in no time! Eduardo gave us so many useful tips and was able to explain everything so we were standing up on our boads right away! My only regret is we did not have more time in Maui to take additional lessons with Summer and Eduardo. We also got AMAZing action shots of us surfing! It was all around such an amazing experience and I am so grateful we met Summer and Eduardo. I will definetly be recommending Surf Yoga Maui to everyone I know who visits as a must do and I will plan on seeing Summer and Eduardo on our next trip to Maui!

I would recommend Surf Yoga Maui to anyone who wants a new challenge or simply have some fun on a surf board.
Edouardo and his team are not only absolutely pros at what they do, but also very patient with beginners. After a short introduction on standing up on the board and provision of booties and rash guard, I stood my first wave.
As a first timer I experienced semi- private and group lesson with Surf Yoga and had the time of my life. Mahalo!
If you never try you’ll never know – love surf

I would recommend SurfYoga Maui to anyone who wants a new challenge or simply improve their surf and yoga abilities. Summer and Edouardo are absolutely pros at what they do and are great at communicating their knowledge. They understand the need for program customization and offer packages that work for you.
I have traveled extensively over the years and this was by far my most amazing trip.
What are you waiting for…sign up!

My daughter and I experienced the semi-private lesson with Surf Yoga. We were both first timers and had the time of our life. After a quick 5 min safety lesson and instruction on standing up on the board, we hit the ocean. Surf Yoga had given us booties and rash guards so we were set. The instructor was fantastic and patient while still getting us out of our comfort zone to enjoy the experience. It was safe and full of surfing and we definitely had more fun than everyone else out there learning with other groups.

My experience with SurfYogaMaui was the perfect start to my best vacation ever. I really wanted to learn how to surf ... And Eduardo was an exceptional teacher. His clear direction and patient demeanor made it easy for me to relax and really enjoy learning. The surfing was GREAT fun!
While this was my first surfing experience, I practice yoga often. Summer's yoga classes were a very enjoyable familiar practice to balance and compliment the surfing. She also took great care of me... From the recommendation of where to stay ... the hiking break... the lunch choices...to the wonderful fruit from her trees... Felt comfortable and cared for.
I plan to come back again next year :).

SO MUCH FUN !!!!First time ever to try surfing and Eduardo was excellent with the 3 of us older rookies. The dry land instruction made us feel safe if we were to fall. We all got personalized attention , caught some waves and had a complete blast!! Great photos were available to purchase, too. I highly recommend Surf Yoga Maui

Had a great time at Surf Yoga Maui - found the Yoga was a great start to the day, and was customized for our group and for surfing later. Really appreciated having both owners out in the ocean with us, so that when our instructor (Soul) wasn't available, we went with Eddie out to the more skill-appropriate waves! Thanks guys!

I went to Maui with a friend who practices yoga far more than I do, and who has never surfed (where I do have surfing experience) so we figured that Surf/Yoga would be a fun two days.. well, it was the FUNNEST!!
First, Summer and Eduardo and their team have, hands down, the best attitudes! Their laid back positivity and kindness made every part of the two days we spent doing the surf/yoga packages awesome. As I mentioned, we had varying levels of experience, but we both felt that we had been pushed enough to have learned something while having a blast, and the constant encouragement and positivity meant that at no time (even when I was sweating just trying to touch my toes or when a wave flipped me over and stole a shoe...) did we feel discouraged or frustrated. We had such a great time after our first day that we invited friends to join us for our second day, and Summer was more than accommodating despite the last minute notice and the fact that we were changing numbers we had booked weeks in advance. It was absolutely no hassle and really great to share the experience.
The ocean-side yoga "studio" was stunning, and Summer's knowledge of yoga could definitely challenge those more advanced. The location for surfing was more or less for beginners but there were enough waves to give all of us practice, and Eddie helped us push ourselves to get some of the bigger waves further out.
I would definitely recommend Surf Yoga Maui to anyone and everyone - whether you are trying something new or working on established skills. We had an awesome time and look forward to doing it again!

I had a great experience learning how to surf. The instructors were patient and built our surfing skills one step at a time. By the end of our session all three of us were standing riding waves, trying tricks such as switching feet and one of us even rode on her head. I highly recommend Surf Yoga Maui for surf lessons!

This was the first time on a surf board for me and my husband, and our 10 y.o. son. What a blast we had! I really appreciated the time Eduardo spent with us on land, making sure we had the sequence down and a full understanding of safety before we hit the water. He was excellent! Very tuned in to each of us, making sure we were comfortable at all times. I will highly recommend Surf Yoga Maui to everyone I know.
I also appreciated how quickly Summer responded to my email inquiry, scheduling us for lessons in a matter of hours, even though it was Easter weekend.
Thank you Eduardo and Summer for a terrific surfing experience!

Great idea to have a SUP/Surf combo. As far as I know you were the only school that has this offering. Eduardo was great. Everyone seemed genuinely concerned that we had a good time. Appreciated that there were no gimmicks and no cattle drives.

I highly reccommend this school and group of instructors,

Our Surf lessons with Surf Yoga Maui were great!! We went early in the morning before the waters got busy with people, which was nice. Our instructor was great...he did a great safety demonstration before we went in to the water and had lots of good tips throughout the lesson. He made it fun and we were all able to surf by the end!

My girlfriend and I recently had the pleasure of taking both yoga classes and surf lessons from Surf Yoga Maui.
Eduardo is a natural teacher and provided excellent private surf lessons. He started by providing a detailed dry land brief along with information on the surf location and its history. In the water, he tailored the lesson to my ability and really turbo-charged my progress (I can honestly say I learned as much in 2 hours with Eduardo as I would have in 2 weeks of surfing on my own). Having taken lessons from several schools over the years, Eduardo was by far my favorite teacher and brought real passion and enthusiasm to his classes.
During my surf lessons, Summer spent the morning with my girlfriend for a private yoga class. Summer provided an amazing and unforgettable experience doing yoga while the sun peaked over the mountains and the ocean rippled in the distance. She customized the session to my girlfriend's skill and provided an experience that was both relaxing and challenging.
Overall, we both had an amazing experience and Surf Yoga Maui was definitely the highlight of our trip

Some people were born to teach and I can honestly say that Summer and Eduardo at Surf Maui Yoga are one of those people. They truly cares about each and every one of their students.
They don't see you as another surfer-to-be or a number because they treat all of us equally and with respect and offer help to anyone who needs help.
What's more they want you to succeed not just in the water but out of the whole life - they know how to inpire. They love what they do and are not there just to pick up a paycheck.
It was my first time to Maui and for sure I will back to this beautiful Island and to Surf Maui Yoga. Their surf progression series are the best way to improve your skills and enjoy surfing as it should be.
A big Mahalo to Summer and Eduardo !!!

Thank you for the wonderful surf lesson. My entire family had a blast. My husband, 2 boys (age 7 & 8) and I enjoyed an early morning surf lesson that left us wanting more. The attention that the two instructors provided during our lesson was fabulous. They were friendly & had no problem teaching young children. We all got up & surfed to shore. AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Looking forward to round 2.

My husband and I had a fabulous surfing experience with Eduardo. He stayed with us the entire time we were in the water, teaching us how to stand on the board, look for waves, paddle to catch the waves, and stand-up. We had a blast!
