Nancy's Maui surf lessons and surf clinics focus on the complete surf experience. Nancy Emerson surf schools in Hawaii place a strong emphasis on water safety, ocean awareness and surfing etiquette.

If you are planning to visit the island of Maui and would like an amazing fun, easy and safe surfing experience, we welcome you to learn to surf off the coast of Maui with us. You can choose from a Maui surfing lesson, or Maui surf clinic, and we can provide a surf guide for the experienced surfer as well. Your surf guide will take you to some of the best least busy surf spots. Nancy’s coaching team on Maui can help you with any of your surfing needs and help you boost to your next level with your surfing.

After paddling out to the break together, your Maui surf instructor will be there to coach and guide you into the waves, share the timing so you will glide all the way to complete your ride with a smile from ear to ear. Your surf coach will help you focus in the ocean with the surf, teach about proper wave etiquette, your own surfing style, and technique.

“Nancy’s welcoming Aloha spirit, and genuinely felt she really wanted me to have a positive experience with my surfing. She took the time after I had filled out the on line registration, I thought was a very thorough questioner, for her to understand my experience with the ocean, and use as a teaching tool.”
