we had an amazing experience at Maui waveriders. Everyone was kind and helpful. Our surf instructor Renton was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in aiding us to learn a new sport. we had fun learned the basics and I had no trouble as a first time surfer and first time out in the ocean catching multiple waves. this was a surprise as I am a beginner swimmer and Renton made sure that we all felt comfortable and knew what to do when we were in the water. We felt cared for he definitely cared about us, the sport, and his home.
