"If you want to take surfing lessons in Maui, stop looking and use DJ. He is awesome. We had a 3 person group that had never surfed and all 3 were up and riding waves within 30 minutes."

Jennifer D.

"DJ made my kids’ (10yr and 7yr) first surf lesson a wonderful experience. He was so great with our kids, teaching them the basics, patiently finding them good waves, helping them get up, and riding tandem worth my 7yr. Excellent experience for our little beginners; they felt successful, rode waves and had a great time. We highly recommend DJ!"

Stephen D.

"DJ is a phenomenal instructor! My boys (18 and 15) did a semi private lesson and had the time of their lives. They were up on the boards and catching waves in no time."
