Additional Information

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.

Great surfing experience… - Our family has surfed before…but the surf instructor “Pau” (the Spaniard Surfer) made all the difference! So impressed! Instructions were clear, simple and perfect….he read the waves and knew exactly where to be and when….he made sure everyone got up as many times as we wanted…and continued to instruct and encourage like a pro! Honestly it was one of highlights of Maui! A must do ;)

We LOVE Goofy Foot!!! - Goofy Foot Surf School is amazing!!! They were very responsive and communicative leading up to and after our lesson. They even provided a photographer, Gabriel, to capture photos during our lesson if we were interested! His fees were reasonable and we got a ton of great action shots and could just enjoy watching our kids surf. Our 3 kids, ages 10, 13 and 16, had a blast! This was their first time ever surfing and they all got up on their boards numerous times and had such a fun positive experience. Their instructor Kailani was incredible! His enthusiasm and love of the sport is infectious. A brief lesson/intro on land and he had them in the water on their boards. Not a moment was wasted. He even let them stay out a few minutes longer to end on a high note, each catching one last wave. He was very patient and encouraging, especially with my 10 yr old, helping her catch her waves and was by her side the entire time while still giving my 2 older boys his guidance and expertise. I felt they were very safe in his care and the surf location was ideal for beginners. My husband and I couldn't have been more impressed. We highly recommend Goofy Foot Surf School. If you have kids, you can't go wrong. Watching all 3 of our kids having fun and learning a new skill together was by far one of our most memorable and favorite parts of our trip. It's rare that all 3 agree on anything but hands down they all say this was amazing and they want to do it again! We will definitely be back on our next trip! Mahalo Goofy Foot!

Amazing surfing experience - The instructors were fabulous. Everyone in our group ages 10 to 50 got up on their Board. It was a fantastic activity and absolutely a highlight of our 2 weeks on Maui.

Fun, Successful Goofy Foot surfing - Took a surf lesson 4/23/24 with Goofy Foot and got up right away. I had a blast. Mario explained how to surf and how to be safe. He was out there with me the entire time, coaching me and being a nice person, super encouraging . I was lucky in that my group lesson was only me and no extra cost. It was fun and a new experience. Goofy foot surf school used to be housed in Lahaina and is now gonel. Please consider them when in Maui. They still exist and are the best. Mahalo to Fabio the owner and my Couch, Mario!

Surfing in Maui - The waves were perfect for learning. The staff was very attentive and provided valuable feedback. The amount of time was appropriate. More than that would have been tiring

Two thumbs up for Goofy Feet - We gave our 13 year old daughter her first surf lesson while vacationing in Maui. Goofy Feet did not disappoint. Two days before her lesson, Fabio called to move the lesson up 2 days and change locations due to better surf conditions. He was thinking ahead and I liked that. The surf lesson was perfect. It was well organized and you could clearly see how experienced Fabio and his crew were. They were great with kids. Protective and encouraging. I highly recommend Goofy Feet. They were awesome.
