Squeezed in a lesson with Scott at 8 am before my 1 pm flight. I'm so happy that I did. I came totally unprepared, but was relieved that Scott had everything I needed, long sleeve rash guard and water shoes. He also equipped us with surfboards that were perfect for our height and weight. We started off with a quick simple lesson on shore to teach us the basics and then we went out into the ocean. We couldn't have picked a better beach or a better day to go. The conditions were incredible! Scott's energy was on another level, and got us super pumped up and excited to catch waves. He's a super cool and charismatic dude and really fun to be around. He's very motivating and makes sure you get your moneys worth and catch a ton of waves. Everybody in our group caught 25-30 waves at least! In other lessons, I've never been able to get up on my own, but by the end of this lesson, I was getting up by myself every time!! Thank you to Scott for the best surfing experience I've had in my life, what a great way to end an epic trip to Maui! Will be back soon! read more

Ended up with a lesson for just me and my son. Scott was really helpful and gave a number of good tips. We both had a great time and look to rent some boards next time and just get out in the water! read more

Booked with Scott for a lesson and ended up making a friend. Very nice guy very funny. Also you get a ton of time in the water, he teaches you the basics of how to surf in just a few minutes then in the water you go. He helps out a lot with you learning while you're actually surfing. Couldn't recommend more. read more

Wife quoted us $120 for one on one surfing lessons for 90min. When we arrived the husband said $150 for 90 min lesson. When the lesson was over Scott informed us that we were required to tip the surf instructor. Benny was an excellent instructor, but I expected him to earn some of the $150. No option of photos like they had in the past. Inside of the establishment was dirty and could use a cleaning lady. The tops and water shoes they provideare incredibly worn out. Not what I was expecting read more

Great experience with Outrageous Surf. We recently took a week long surf camp in Costa Rica. So we were not first time surfers but still wanted some coaching. Ty, our instructor, was perfect. He respected that we didn't need the basics and got us right out on the water. Once we were out there, he gave us feedback on ways to improve. They started us off on longboards but quickly realized we didn't need the massive size. So he gave me his 8 ft board instead. Much better surfing after that. Waves are smaller- like 1 ft. But still fun. He gave us a push each time because our paddling is not there yet. Great day on the water!! We are exhausted and happy. read more

I was blessed to be referred to Scott & Dana's Outrageous Surf company to get first time surf lessons in Maui for myself, my husband and my 7 year old, Scott took us to a mellow beach where we were able to be successful and had the whole beach practically to ourselves. We all had different comfort levels with swimming & the ocean - Scott and team adjusted for us all. As you see in the pictures the instructors were was always right there coaching and encouraging us. All three of us caught many waves and felt comfortable after less than 2 hours! We had so much fun that we decided to take another lesson before we left Maui. Thank you for great memories, great instructors and the encouragement to have fun and learn to surf! read more

This was our 5th trip to Maui and I am so glad we decided to take a surf lesson finally. Clyde our instructor was amazing! Super cool guy! He gave great instruction and made sure we all had fun and caught some good waves. I definitely recommend taking a surf lesson with Outrageous Surf! We even got some cool pictures for only $15 and that's unheard of on a Maui excursion. Over it was a great time, worth every penny! read more

My daughters had private lessons with Axel and Benny and they were amazing, patient and fun. The shop owner was super friendly and made my girls feel at ease and excited for their lesson. They ended catching some waves and the owner prepared a flash drive of great photos of their lessons. We will definitely be back for years to come! read more

Outrageous Surf was the highlight of our trip!!! Scott is an awesome instructor. No BS. Shows you the ropes and gets you up on that board and surfing in no time. Just keep paddling and you'll get all the rides you can handle! 100% recommend. read more

Went in for a 90-min group surfing course with my husband. We are both capable skiers and love trying new sport. Instead of a learning experience, my husband and I were being pushed around the entire time and told we were too bad at paddling to surf, pushed back to shore after 30 mins. The instructor was a blonde teen apparently with no tolerance of learning curve and much gender bias--helped me with paddling, but clearly annoyed by my husband falling behind and offered little help. Eventually he asked us to give up. Another learner in my group was hit very hard by the board and bled. No ice was offer even when she asked. I can sense inclusion issue in this shop--the staff was 90% Caucasian white male except for one female co-owner. The instructor and owners didn't care to chat with me or my husband, focused entirely on Caucasian customers. We arrived a tad early and wasn't allowed to wait in the shop. We came back at exact time then was told to speed up. The other Caucasian customers clearly checked in earlier, so why couldn't we? Sanitation was concerning. Cockroaches and soaked cat food everywhere at the rinse-off spot. Water shoes hanging around smelling bad. None of the crew wore mask, even when staying in the shop. No visible wipes/spray/hand sanitizer. As if COVID does not exist... Refund wasn't an option at all. One star for the owner offering a free reschedule but we didn't have time for it. If not for that would be solid zero read more

My family of 7 had Theo and Casey as our instructors. They made surfing a breeze. We started with a short on-land session before hitting the water. The surf spot was slightly crowded but our instructors used caution and got us out for about 10 waves each. Surfing takes it out of you so make sure you eat and drink plenty of water before!! read more

Had an amazing time!! We had 3 instructors since we were with a large group. Theo and Brayden were the best. Moku needs to work on his customer service!! Theo and Brayden gave tips and everyone made a complete run at least once with these great guys. I personally did good the whole time. Except my last run I had the third instructor, Moku, I fell off and went underwater. He gave no extra tips or further instruction. He just needs to work on his customer service!! But thank you Theo and Brayden!!! You guys are amazing! read more

My son and nephews had a private surf lesson and all I can say is that my boys had an amazing time and that their instructor THEO was THE BEST! They caught several waves throughout the lesson. Thank you, THEO! read more

Beware! Rude and will Raise the price on you. Even if you have their advertisement saying 2 surf for $100. We reserved for 3 and my son got scared and didn't want to surf. I told them this and it would only be 2 people. I'm sorry my 10 year got scared but I was not going to force him to do something he didn't want too. The guy we talked too all of sudden got pissed off, raised the price and said.. if I didn't like it. I can go somewhere else. Which we did. There was no way I was going to trust my kids in the hands of this lunatic. He was ranting at me. Someone needs to learn customer service. I'm happy we did go somewhere else because we found an amazing place down the street. They were friendly, patient and even apologized for this establishments behavior. read more

We've tried other surfing classes in Lahaina, but they were not even close to Outrageous Surf. At other places we spent a lot of time filling out paperwork, getting fitted for shirts and shoes, and practicing on the beach. The "group lessons" were so large we only got to try a few waves each. At Outrageous Surf, the owner Scott is no nonsense, and we had so much fun! We got to ride as many waves as we could handle. We got tired out paddling backed out to him for more waves before our 2 hours were done, I tapped out and had to tell Scott we were ready to go back in. Highly recommend, and Outrageous Surf will be our first stop the next time we're in Maui. read more

My husband and I took surfing lessons with Tyler. He explained to us it was a family business, with his parents being the owners. He gave us a quick run down on technique and then we were off to the water! He was great at giving us pointers throughout the lesson, keeping us safe from other beginner surfers, and helped give us a push into the wave to help with momentum. Both my husband and I had never surfed before but we both had fun and we were able to ride a lot of waves. They have lockers there to put belongings and give you water shoes and a long-sleeve shirt for surfing. You can also optionally pay $15 per person for pictures of you surfing, which we ended up regretfully not doing (next time!). All in all, we both recommend and can't wait to surf again when the opportunity arises. read more

My girls went surfing here today and they raved about it. The instructor was awesome and by the end of the lesson they were surfing like they were naturals. A few years back they took lessons in Tofino, Outrageous Surf in Lahaina, Maui was far superior! The instructor was giving them far more help and immediate instruction in the water. They even got to surf with a small dog on their board. How cool is that!. When I told the instructor that our Prime Minister owned a surf business in Tofino he commented that the PM should have stuck with surfing! LOL. We had a great time. I highly recommend Outrageous Surf in Lahaina, Maui! read more

I went last year on my first trip to Hawaii and didn't want to leave Maui without having the experience of surfing there. Outrageous was excellent, the instructor was Dylan and he was great! We walked with a small group of people from the academy to the beach and he quickly explained the basics to hop right in the board and learn. It was a great experience and I hope to come back soon. Great job Dylan and company! read more

Outrageous Surf - Outrageous School - Training session with Dylan! - Specialty Schools Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

The instructors are kind and skillful. But they seemed not experienced as instructors. We are clear that nobody has any surfing experience. But instructors only taught how to stand up. That is it. One of the members, after being blown by a high wave, did not know what to behave properly since there is no safety instructions taught. And instructors did not even notice she was taken away by current. Later this girl got hurt like what the photo showed. In fact, she is best swimmer in our team. Although sea and swimming pool are totally different, there is good chance if she can be taught all the possible scenarios and what to behave accordingly. My suggestion is, instructors should teach or at least illustrate all of the following: 1. How to get on board and paddle efficiently 2. What to behave when wave comes 3. How to protect yourself in possible scenarios 4. How to stand up Seems this place only teaches 4. But 1-3 is definitely necessary for first time surfers. Also we don't expect everybody is taken good care like a 1-to-1 private lesson. But when somebody is missing, it is surprising that instructors don't even realize that. read more

The instructors Scott, Axel and Cameron were so fun and encouraging and it was perfect for first timers! Definitely recommend!

Dylan was my daughter's instructor and he was incredible. My daughter is 10 and she has been surfing on and off for 2 years and so when she went out yesterday with Dylan, she had a blast. She literally killed out there. All the guys were so friendly and helpful. Super down to earth and just stoked to help you learn to surf. We will definitely be back to rent a board or surf just go out with an instructor. I highly recommend coming here for lessons. They are patient and they will definitely get you standing on a board. They also have someone that will take pictures and for a small fee, you can purchase your pictures on a cd. This place is awesome!!!!! read more

This was the perfect place for my first time surfing! The equipment was great, and Todd the instructor was AMAZING! He has the unique skill of surfing right behind you so you have a guaranteed successful ride. The beach was perfect and I had a blast with my brother. Tip: Call ahead to make sure there isn't a cruise ship porting, so you can avoid the crowds. Thanks again Todd, and great photos Holly. We will see you again real soon. read more

People are nice enough, but they way overbooked our lesson. they lumped 15 people together with 3 instructors. After a quick 10 minutes of instruction on the beach it's basically just letting us take turns riding waves. Too crowded to get any meaningful feedback especially when you consider that 4 other companies were sharing the same area we were for practice. I also understand that outside it is impracticak to wear masks while surfing. But nobody inside there shop wore masks when people were registering. There is no reason you can't wear a mask indoors and demand that you customers do the same. Skip this company and just get a friend to teach you. read more

You must book your surf sessions with these people! They made the experience sooo much fun and it's basically guaranteed that you'll have an amazing time. They're such down to earth folks and it felt like hanging out with friends (of course they were extremely professional and very knowledgeable about the sport). Make sure to book with these guys! read more

LOVED our lesson! Outrageous was the bomb and Brayden was a great instructor. We had an incredible time. Totally recommend.

This school located a short distance away from "Lahaina Haber Surf Point" Usially,This point make some Softly,Gently Right Wave. They can do surf up easily.

The instructors and owners are nice. Very casual and were clearly experienced surfers. They were also accommodating when we left the lesson early. For that, I thank you. There were very large class sizes. Seven in my group. That's just too big to get anything done. They only spent about 10 minutes on the basics on the beach. I took a lesson from another school a few days prior and was at least prepared by them. I think the other students in this class were shorted important information. The surf spot where they teach is just too crowded. It resembles bumper cars. You can't paddle your board out without bumping into someone, let alone have space to learn to surf. There must have been more than 100 students from different schools all crowded into this one small space. My son, had his board bumped by an instructor from another school and that instructor actually got snotty with my son chastising him for being in the way. Are you kidding me?!! This isn't Outrageous' fault, but knowing it's so crowded should influence them to move to a less crowded surf spot. We left the water after two runs. It was just too crowded to do anything. We had a lesson from an amazing Maui surf school prior to this, with a low student to teacher ratio in a spot without the crowds, so we knew how awesome a lesson could be. I'm not even sure the instructor knew we left. Let me just share one last thing. Surfing instructors of Outrageous....get a pair of board shorts that fit and pull your board shorts up. I have no issue with you showing off your awesome abs- even wearing your board shorts a bit lower (as is the fad), but, I DO NOT NEED TO SEE ALL YOUR PRIVATE PARTS. I would not comment if this was only one instructor, but it was more than half of them in the shop that morning. To add context, I am a nurse. I have seen everything and it's hard to offend me...so that should speak volumes as to the awkwardness of interacting with someone and having to pretend to not be seeing what you're seeing. read more

I have never in my life had such a terrible experience with a lesson. Absolutely DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!! Not only was the young instructor RUDE and unprofessional but he expected everyone to know what they were doing already. That is NOT the purpose of a lesson, by definition. Also, the owner is just as rude as her son. There is no customer service and there is no need to waste your money booking with them. Also, they never took pictures and they expected us as customers to carry their boards back and put them up for them after being absolutely so rude. I'm telling you, I don't normally write reviews, but this needed to be known to everyone that is trying to book here. DO NOT DO IT! Then when confronted for poor service, was blamed for their mistakes. He was HIGH as well. His name is Axel read more

We surfed with Scott, Theo, Benny, and a couple others at the shop over the period of a couple of months this past spring. Every person (including Dana who helped us coordinate lessons) was fantastic and always helpful, welcoming, and fun to surf with. After even a few weeks with the crew we felt confident and comfortable surfing in Lahaina. Looking forward to coming back some day for more! read more

It was my daughters first time surfing so we were unsure what to expect. I have nothing but good things to say about outrageous surf.

What a blast! We were first timers. Dylan was super a instrutor and very helpful to my 9 year old little girl. Gave us great pre-surf advise and training before hitting the waves. My little one got up on her FIRST wave and EVERYONE after that. Dylan was super attentive to her and she had a ball. Surf traffic built up during the morning but again, Dylan was totally focus on us and we took wave after wave after wave. Mahalo read more

Sooo friendly. Very accommodating. Good prices. Lots of fun. Full of Aloha! Will definitely use them in the future for lessons or gear.

Scott was awesome, best surf instructor ever. Didn't waste a bunch of time doing ground school like the other instructors out there. Got the basics down with us in 5 mins and then had us paddle out and get after it. Caught about 15-20 waves, we were riding them in before other surf schools were even off the beach. 10/10 would recommend. Efficient, effective and worth every penny. read more

Had such a good experience! The owner and instructor Scott was really supportive and encouraging. Within a few tries we were up on our boards enjoying the perfect waves for beginners. We definitely caught the surfing bug and have Scott to thank for it. Highly recommend getting surf lessons here. read more

Awesome Experience!!! Our instructor Ocean was very patient and personable. I really enjoyed my surfing experience. They are a very relaxed and fun group which made me feel comfortable being out in the water with them. Thank you, you made my vacation memorable! read more

This is a family business run by Scott and his wife, Dana. We came here two years in a row for SUP lessons. We debated whether we needed a lesson the second year, but the experience was so much better having a guide. Scott is super chill and patient and navigated us through the ocean with ease. I was able to really enjoy the experience without having to worry about safety. They are conveniently located on Front Street. Free parking is easy to find if you go early around 8am. read more

A++ for Outrageous Surf! Surfed with Scott (owner) and his guides: Bulla, Benson & Kevin four times while on a recent trip to Maui. This was with four kids from ages 12 down to 7 and myself (Dad). All of us started Day 1 on novice, knee high surf and by Day 4 were surfing chest high waves. Scott's gear was great. His shop is so conveniently located right in the center of Lahaina. Everything was smooth and easy; Although it gets hectic just before surf time so get there early. Scott took dozens of awesome pics of all of us surfing and provided these to us on disc. The spot Outrageous surfs is outstanding with small to medium swells for surfers of all levels. As I understand, there are only four shops licensed to teach in this spot. Before deciding to use Outrageous, we contacted the other Lahaina schools. Most made you feel like a number and one in particular seemed to have an abrasive attitude. Funny enough, we saw this particular school's instructor while surfing and sure enough the abrasive attitude was on full display. Contrast to Outrageous; Scott and his guys were so warm and welcoming, making us all feel comfortable and confident and most of all making sure we were having fun! Scott's instructors, Bulla, Benson and Kevin were a blast and taught all of us extremely well. In the end, we hated to leave and would have surfed with Outrageous again and again if we could have. Looking to learn to surf or improve your surfing? Don't bother with any other, call Scott and Outrageous Surf...you'll have the time of your life! read more

If I could give more stars, I would! My 9-year old was gifted a group lesson (found online). Called in to discuss a little more. We were encouraged to consider a private lesson. While he could have done the group lesson, I am SO glad we made the private lesson choice! He had a blast, easily caught 15-20 waves and learned a lot about paddling out, balance, and standing up! (We watched the group lesson going on simultaneously and they were doing great, too...but with a little one, I was so glad we made the choice to do a private lesson.) Very professional, knowledgeable staff...and EXCELLENT instructor (Moku, and sorry if I'm misspelling it!). We will definitely do it again when we return to Maui! I am so grateful that the first experience was such a great one! (A tip: my little guy is super skinny, and the water at the break wall was a little chilly for him. If you have the chance to bring a long a wet suit top, I highly advise it! Long sleeve rash guard and booties were provided by Outrageous Surf.) read more
