10 Surfing, Windsurfing & Kitesurfing in Lahaina That You Shouldn't Miss

April 18, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Lahaina, the former Hawaiian capital, was the center of the global whaling trade, and its Historic District is a National Historic Landmark. Traditional Hawaiian luaus, surf lessons and tours on horseback are fun, but let’s be realistic—you wouldn’t be in Hawaii if you didn’t want to go to the beach. Try Ka’anapali Beach, one of Maui’s best.

Maui Surfer Girls offers the best surf lessons and surf camps on Maui. Our surf school caters to small groups, families and newlyweds, with small class sizes and professional instructors (most of whom are female!)

We quickly branched out to offer year-round surf lesson to men and women, and kids starting at age 5! Our teen camps have grown to be extremely popular, and we offer our women's camps quarterly.

Skim Hawaii

Aloha and Welcome to Skim Hawaii. Maui, Kauai and Oahu's premiere skimboard and surf school! Since 2000, Skim Hawaii's owner Sean McClenahan and his instructors have been mentoring locals and tourists helping them to achieve their skimboarding and surfing goals. Here in Hawaii the beaches are a lot steeper and tend to have a heavy shorebreak that takes a different approach than what people are used to. Learn how to track swell and tides, drop the board properly, ride waves back to shore, airs, shuvits, 360's and more! We offer lessons for all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner to an advanced rider, Skim Hawaii has got you covered. Come down and learn from professional sponsored riders! Also inquire about our outer island surf and skim excursions.
