What makes us say that? For one reason, surfing is Hawaii. Surfing
is believed to have started with Polynesians in the Pacific islands and really advanced
more as they came to the Hawaiian Islands. Thus, surfing or “he’e nalu” became
known as a Hawaiian sport. Captain James King in 1779 described this wave
riding by locals on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was a sport of royal Hawaiian
kings and queens.
Hawaii is thus known as the epicenter of the surfing world where
it’s a central part of the culture and heritage of a society that loves the
ocean. Surfing captures the spirit of Aloha and the actual lifestyle of the
islands. So, to truly experience Hawaii, you have to experience surfing.
Learning to surf offers a thrill quite unlike any other
sport. As you learn to work embrace the ocean waves, you sense the exhilaration
and power that the waves carry, and at the same time an exceptional feeling of
serenity. Many find in surfing a way to lessen stress and anxiety. This is part
of the spirit of Aloha that engulfs you with excitement while giving you a soothing
sense of peace. Thus, this incomparable Maui watersport offers an amazing experience
that is truly Hawaiian.
And to be able to say that you took surfing lessons in Maui…this
is a remarkable place to learn to surf and a cherished part of your trip!
Nowhere else can you surf amidst the beauty that is Maui. With striking views
of the volcanic crater known as Molokini and the island of Lanai as your
backdrop, you can take Maui surf lessons in the flawless ocean waters with palm
trees lining the coast. True, there are other places around the world to surf, but
there’s no other place quite like Maui.
Because surfing is linked so much to Hawaii and the people
of these islands, there’s no better people to teach you to surf. For many
locals, surfing is where we feel most at home, and is really second nature, so
of course we love helping people experience this exhilarating sport first-hand.
As people characterized by the Aloha spirit, we’re laid back and are just excited
to be a part of your surfing experience, so our Maui surf lessons are similarly
relaxed and fun. Having native
Hawaiians who love the ocean and surfing teach you surfing or SUP is
another exceptional aspect of Maui surf lessons that you won’t find anywhere
else.
SUP or “hoe he’e nalu” is an additional watersport with a
Hawaiian heritage that provides an unforgettable Maui experience. SUP is an
easy-to-learn sport and offers a great full body workout. It can also be done
by people of all ages and skill levels. This popular Hawaiian sport offers
amazing views of the islands and sea life that you can only see in Maui.
So when you visit the islands, be sure to put Maui surf
lessons or SUP lessons on the top of your list of things to do! There’s truly
no other sports quite like surfing or stand up paddling, and no other place to
learn quite like Maui.
