“If you’ve never surfed this is the place! I figured I’m over 40, not athletic, no experience and terrified of the ocean but these guys had me up surfing. Definitely recommend this particular place for your first time on the island."

"It was my first time surfing and they were amazing! They explained everything so good and they were super nice and very fun to talk to and joke with as well!."

“Best experience ever! Our kiddo had so much fun and Lopaka was a truly amazing, patient, fun teacher! I highly recommend it!”
"If you're trying to decide who to book your surf lesson with, stop searching—you've found the right company. From the moment we arrived, we felt like family. Lopaka and D-Dog were incredibly welcoming, patient, and genuinely excited to help us have an amazing experience. They took the time to build our confidence, explained everything in a way that made us feel comfortable, and never made anyone feel rushed or intimidated. It was all of our first time on the surfboard and they encouraged and cheered us on “GOT’UM” and made the entire experience fun, safe, and unforgettable.
What I appreciated most is that this is a local, family-friendly business that truly cares about the people they serve—not just getting customers in and out. Their passion for surfing and for sharing the aloha spirit shines through in everything they do. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and it's something our family will be talking about for a long time. We already know we'll be back next year, and there's no question we'll be booking with them again. If you're visiting Maui and want an experience that's fun, encouraging, professional, and worth every penny, I can't recommend this company enough. Supporting local businesses like this is what travel is all about, and they absolutely deserve your business. Mahalo for giving our family memories we'll never forget!"

"I really can’t say enough about the great experience for all 3 boys. Lopaka’s personality and coaching style was great for the wide range of ages that we had. This was a first for all 3 of them and Lopaka had them all up within their first couple attempts. Which made the last hour nothing but riding waves. Would highly recommend and see if you can get Lopaka."

"If you’re looking for the best surf school in Maui, GOT’UM Surfing is a must. Lopaka went above and beyond with my 5 year old daughter, he’s incredible with kids. She loved every second of her lesson and was even able to stand up and surf. I can’t say enough great things about our experience."

"Lopaka is the absolute best!! We found Got Um surfing on Google and Facebook prior to our trip, and couldn’t have found a better fit! We booked two lessons for our novice 14 yr old son; he had surfed before but never in Maui. Lopaka talked to us a few times prior to the lesson, came up with a tailored plan to fit our needs, and it worked out amazing! Bodee caught many waves and learned a ton! If you’re looking for a personal experience with a local Maui surfer, Lopaka’s Got Um!!! 🏄🌴🍍”
