Hawaii is one of the best and easiest places to learn to surf. Being located in the center of the Pacific Ocean. Pure ocean swells combined with our off-shore reefs give us a variety of quality waves to ride. In the summer the south shore has the better surf, with a swell originating in the south pacific. In wintertime, the north shore is visited by large swell systems that travel down from Alaska and Japan. The winter swell has the most spectacular waves for the expert riders and spectators. There are always plenty of smaller waves for the beginners year-round.   ASM is a full-service surfing school, located on Maui’s south shore.  We offer a range of lessons to suit every surfer. Our surfing school has been established for over seven years, dedicated to offering the best quality surfing lessons. Our experience has come from teaching the sport of surfing, and sharing our appreciation for the ocean to each and every student that we work with. The personalized lesson is in keeping with the traditional Hawaiian approach to learning. Our beginner surfing area is in an un-crowded 100 acre “Marine Park” that offers a variety of surf breaks to suit different levels of surfers and changing conditions. The beginner surf class is an ideal family activity.  The average student will be up and surfing in their first lesson.  A range of board sizes are available to suit individual surfers. Advanced surfers can tackle the larger waves on the north shore with our instructor guides on the “Surfari”. Our instructors study the wave conditions and take the guesswork out of where to surf. Each surf break has its own character which is explained to every student. Knowing where to surf and how to ride the break is a huge advantage to surfers of all levels. In addition to sharing their local knowledge with you, the instructors show you how to "read the wave break" when surfing a new location for the first time. This is a fundamental skill every surfer should know. All Equipment is supplied. Our board selection features Quality "Soft-top" surfboards from Surtech™ . These boards combine a high performance epoxy/styrofoam construction which is lightweight, with a comfortable layer of EVA foam on the deck. These boards are faster and lighter than the traditional "foamie" (All foam) boards schools used to have. We have a range of sizes in our quiver, from the larger and most stable cruisers, to the smaller more agile performance boards. *Specialty boards are available from the rental store or by request. Specialty boards include. shortboards by Tuflite™ , Naish, and other custom shapers.  *Digital on-water Photography & on-water Video service is available by request. Lessons run daily at 8 AM, 7 days a week, year-round. Meet in Kihei . We highly recommend our semi-private classes to beginner and intermediate level surfers. The instructor will give each student the maximum individual attention they need. We recommend private Instruction for: very young students, older students, and Advanced riders. Un-crowded waves are safer and more enjoyable. We make the effort to seek out the least crowded locations for our lessons. Sometimes requiring a short drive to an alternate beach. It is worth the effort to seek out the best spot. It makes the surfing experience more rewarding. BOOKINGS: We fill up fast so call ahead and make a reservation, so we can confirm your schedule.

Maui is the heart of the windsurfing world because of the reliability of the trade-winds, and the warm water year round. Maui has the greatest number of windy days of any place on earth (other than Antarctica). The trade-winds blow at a perfect angle to the north shore beaches, making it a haven for every level of rider. ASM is a full service windsurfing school, servicing Maui’s north & south shores. Our beginner windsurfing area is located at Kanaha Beach Park, the most popular windsurfing beach in Hawaii. Kanaha offers a variety of conditions to suit every level of windsurfer. The "trades" start to blow lightly in the morning, So the beginner classes usually start at 9am. The winds get stronger during the day, so intermediates generally launch at noon. Advanced riders will revel in the strongest winds that tend to peak in the afternoon. The beginner windsurf class is an ideal family activity. The average student will be up and riding in their first lesson. Advanced windsurfers can tackle the stronger winds in the afternoon.  WINDY SEASON Maui is the windiest  windsurfing destination. We have the most strong winds from MAY till SEPTEMBER. This is the most reliable wind time and the best time to plan your Windsurfing Vacation to Maui. We can have good wind all year, but there is a chance of light wind to no wind for several days to a week at a time. If you come over in the non-peak season, beginner windsurfing is still good, but you should be flexible to try surfing or some other light wind activities. Lessons run daily from 9 AM, Monday thru Saturday year-round. You can choose from; a private Lesson, A semi-private class, or a longer multi-day course. Small class sizes give the student the maximum attention. That is why we highly recommend our semi-private class to beginners and intermediates.

We recommend our private lessons for young children, seniors, and the more advanced riders.  We meet at Kanaha Beach Park, on the north shore, behind the Kahului Airport All Equipment is supplied.
