We had the BEST experience with Maui Waveriders Kihei, and George completely made it unforgettable…read more From the start, George went above and beyond to make our lesson feel personal and tailored to us. It honestly felt like a private lesson. He took the time to understand our different skill levels and customized everything so we both felt comfortable, challenged, and successful. What stood out just as much as his skill as an instructor was how genuinely kind and respectful he was. As an LGBTQIA couple, we felt completely welcomed and at ease, which meant a lot and made the experience even more special. George is not only an incredible instructor, but someone who truly cares about making sure you have a great time and get full value out of your experience. We both walked away feeling confident, accomplished, and so happy we chose this company. If you're booking, ask for George. You won't regret it.

Instruction was great, vibes were immaculate, and we had a really great time and caught a lot of waves for our first time ever on a surfboard. Our instructor Bryan was not only a good hang, but thorough and attentive in teaching us and did a great job making sure us newbies stayed safe. So glad we booked this! I see some negative comments about the photos on here and I just want to say I had a great experience with that. We did buy the album because the photos were pretty sick and it's our honeymoon. But if I didn't want to buy them it wouldn't have been a big deal as they didn't pressure us at all. In fact we approached the guy with the photos out of our own interest. No one was tryna get us to do anything. Anyways the whole experience was worth every penny!

Chad was a really great teacher and taught them a lot with pointers after each wave. My daughter has fallen in love with surfing and can't wait to do it again.

The lady at check in was lovely and super helpful and the pics we paid for were incredible! (Get the pics - worth it!) My daughter took a second lesson two days later with a different school on Kaanapali Beach... a sad experience and no where near as good as MSC.

I took a two-hour lesson at Pops, and my instructor, McKenna, was absolutely incredible. It had been nearly 20 years since I'd surfed, and I quickly realized just how out of shape I was when it came to paddling out to the break. McKenna never let that become a barrier. At times, she literally put her foot on my board and paddled both of us out to the lineup. That's the kind of dedication and effort you don't forget. She was patient, encouraging, and had a fantastic attitude throughout the lesson. She taught me how to pop up properly, positioned me perfectly, and pushed me into waves at exactly the right moment, making them easy to catch. Thanks to her coaching, I caught six or seven waves, including one long ride all the way to shore. The entire experience was fun, supportive, and confidence-building. For someone who hadn't surfed in almost 20 years, getting back on a board and successfully catching waves felt amazing. If you're thinking about taking surf lessons on Oʻahu, I can't recommend Ty Gurney Surf School enough. And if you get the chance to surf with McKenna, you're in great hands. Mahalo for an unforgettable morning at Pops!
