©2006 Maui Wave RidersMau Wave Riders (MWR) is a family owned and operated business dedicated to providing each surf student with a fun, safe and unforgettable surf experience. MWR adapts their style of teaching to the ability of each student and goes that extra mile to make your surf experience the most memorable highlight of your vacation! For the convenience of their guests, MWR has two locations to choose from: Kihei (South Maui) and Lahaina (West Maui).
MWR specializes in all levels of surfing from beginning to advanced. The classes are two hours long and include instruction on the use of a rashguard, surf shoes, a soft top surfboard, and safety fins. The lessons include an approximate fifteen minute land lesson on the basics of surfing, emphasizing water safety. The rest of the time is spent with an instructor in the water teaching you how to catch your own waves and giving great surfing tips!
MWR guarantees the longest water time, and after the class students can continue surfing on their own (providing the boards are available). MWR's professional instructors are CPR/First Aid trained and provide quality surf lessons with a passion for teaching surfing. They have an excellent water safety record and have a strong knowledge of surf history. Our surfer/instructor ratio is five students to one instructor. We have male and female instructors. For children under seven we encourage parent participation or, perhaps, a private lesson. You too can learn to surf Hawaiian style!
