Group SUP Lessons

Overview

Goofy Foot was established in Lahaina, Maui in April, 1994 by the Owner/Instructor Tim Sherer to perpetuate his relationship with Mother Ocean and to teach the ancient Hawaiian sport of surfing.

Our SUP lessons take place in Lahaina in our beautiful reef protected lagoon graced with a lot of marine life. Turtle sightings are common as are Hawaiian Monk seals in their natural habitat. Monk seals are on the endangered species list.

Learn the basic fundamentals of standup paddling along with condition assessment, ocean awareness, risk management, and even self-rescue techniques. Do this while enjoying the beauty of viewing the island from off shore and exploring the underwater reef environment.

Kids 9 years and under are required to take a private lesson on their own or a semi-private with their family/friends.

I rented a board off them one day and I was more than useless, so booked a group lesson with them. I actually stood every time with much help from the instructor, who basically got behind the board and gave it a huge shove into the wave, shouting at me when to stand up! Each round he told me what I was doing wrong and how to correct it, which really helped my technique and built my confidence. To be honest, I’d have preferred to be in a smaller group, as I was the middle aged woman in a group with teenagers, which wasn’t very comfortable. However, I noticed later that day that the school had messaged me 1st thing offering to do an earlier lesson with less people and better surf, so my bad I hadn’t seen the text.

It was my second time surfing on Hawaii. My surf instructor Joe did a very good job! By the end of the lesson I was able to stand! As I was the only one who signed up for a group lesson, I actually got a private lesson for the price of a group lesson, which was super nice! I had a really great time and would definitely recommend this surf school to anyone! Very welcoming atmosphere!

Aloha and Mahalo for your great review! We are so glad Joe was able to get you out in the water and standing on your first wave! Thanks for choosing Goofy Foot! We look forward to taking you surfing again in the future!

I had taken a mini group lesson before coming to Hawaii. I had only paddleboarded 3 times but had never stood up. We had so much fun and learned so much from Arma and Cristin. If you are serious about getting a good lesson and not a tour you will not go wrong with Goofy Foot. Everyone in our party of 4 had a great time. They answered our concerns and didn't sugarcoat anything. They made it fun, relaxing and safe all at the same time. Thanks for upping our game.
