Description
3-Day Maui Private Surf Camp
Over three unforgettable days, watch your surfing transform from your very first pop-up to riding waves with real confidence. Available as private 1-on-1 instruction, or for small private groups. Each morning begins at a calm, sandy-bottomed park beach on Maui's south shore, where your guide builds on what you learned the day before, fine-tuning your paddling, timing, and stance session by session. Between the daily coaching, warm aloha, and the steady rhythm of the same gentle break, this multi-day progression is designed to turn a single souvenir memory into a skill you'll carry home with you.
