Surfing, Skimboarding, Island Tours in Maui and Oahu

We are a small family run business here on Maui and Oahu. We have been helping locals and visitors master their surfing and skimboarding skills for over 24 years. We teach complete beginners to all skill levels looking to master new tricks and fine tune their game.

Skimboarding Lessons are held daily in West Maui at Ka’anapali Beach and South Maui in Kihei. Learn everything you need to know about this thrilling board sport from local, professional skimboarders. We go where the conditions are the best based on swell directions, winds and tides which can vary depending on the time of year. Ask about our Oahu Surfing and Skimboarding Lessons as well or where the best beaches are for skimboarding on any of the Hawaiian Islands.

Surfing Lessons take place just outside of Lahaina at Guardrails, Ukumehame Beach or for Oahu at Waikiki Beach.

REVIEWS

  • Nate

    “Sean was amazing! My BIL and I were first-timers. Sean was very patient and ran us through a quick beach lesson so we could learn a bit more and have more time in the water. Sean was able to get both of us up and catch some waves. Would recommend it to any beginners and those familiar with surfing. Sean has great experience and has caught some huge waves on his skimboard. Check out his videos!”

  • Liam

    “Easy to communicate with Sean and the instructor, Brendon. Brendon was very personable, knowledgable , friendly- my teen son would have hung out on the shore with him all day! He extended lesson time after running to his car for another rental board for another vacationer. Would highly recommend Skim Hawaii”

  • Kristina

    “On very short notice (the evening before) Sean arranged a private skim board lesson for my sons, ages 19 and 16. Communication and payment was easy, and he set us up with Brendon near where we were staying at Makena Beach the next morning. We knew where to park and meet, and Brendon was so friendly, and quickly got my sons skimming. We left the lesson with both boards, easy to rent for the remainder of our stay, and Sean picked them up from our condo complex the evening before we left. Pro, seamless service, all around. Highly recommend.”

    “Over the last 4 trips to Maui I have rented skimboards from Sean every time and had lessons with him during the last 3 trips. It is one of the highlights of my trips to get a lesson in with him. Despite the fact I can't get out to Maui very often I improve every time thanks to Sean's great instruction. He uses video coaching so you can see where you need to change your technique. His enthusiasm for the sport is inspiring and it's fun to watch him demo proper technique. Give him call next time you're in Maui and you will have a great time!”
