The longest running surf school in Lahaina, Goofy Foot was established on Maui in April, 1994 by the Owner/Instructor Tim Sherer to perpetuate his relationship with Mother Ocean and to teach the ancient Hawaiian sport of surfing. We are dedicated to providing professional surfing lessons to all levels of aspiring students in the spirit of fun and learning. We are committed to facilitating the highest level of experience for our guests with a focus on teaching safety, ocean awareness and surfing fundamentals. Students are guaranteed to standup and ride at least one wave, and even more are given a smart approach to learning to surf that is based on technique and fundamentals that they can use to accelerate learning on their own.

Q: What age range is this surfing lesson suitable for?

A: The beginner group surf lessons at Goofy Foot Surf School are great for ages 8 and up! They cater to both kids and adults, just make sure to let the instructors know about any special needs or concerns. It's really family-friendly, and I've seen parents surf alongside their kids, which was awesome!

Q: How do I reschedule if the weather is bad?

A: If the weather isn’t cooperating, Goofy Foot Surf School is really good about rescheduling. Just give them a call or shoot them an email, and they can find another time that works for you. It’s usually pretty flexible, which is nice—especially if you’re traveling!

Q: What should I wear for the surfing lesson?

A: For the surf lessons, you’ll want to wear a swimsuit and maybe a rash guard if you have one. They provide all the equipment, including soft-top boards, so you don’t need to worry about that. Just make sure to bring sunscreen and a towel for after your lesson!

Thinking of gifting surfing lessons in Maui, any thoughts?

I’m considering giving my sister a 2-hour beginner surf lesson at Goofy Foot Surf School for her birthday. I’ve never done it myself, but I heard they’re the real deal in Lahaina. She loves the ocean, so I think it would be perfect for her! Anyone here done it? What was your experience like? Did you really stand up on your first try?

Advice on booking surfing lessons in Maui?

I’m visiting Maui next month and thinking about booking the beginner surf lessons for my family. We’re all pretty much newbies. I’m just curious, how many people are usually in a class? And is it really as fun as it sounds? I’m a bit nervous about falling off the board!
