Our Review: Action Sports Maui
Action Sports Maui runs 11 tours with an average quality score of 60.8/100. This is a wind and wave sports school, and their catalog reflects that: surfing lessons, kiteboarding, windsurfing, SUP, wing-surfing, and kids surf camps. If it involves a board and ocean wind, they teach it.
The Surfing Lessons top the catalog at 71/100 and represent the most accessible entry point. Maui's south shore breaks are ideal for beginners, and Action Sports puts you on a longboard in waist-deep water with an instructor. The Kitefoilboarding Lessons (65/100) and Kiteboarding Lessons (63/100) are where things get more specialized. Maui is one of the best kiteboarding destinations in the world, and the consistent trade winds on the north shore create conditions that kiteboarders travel globally to experience.
The multi-day courses (59-63) are where the real learning happens. A single surf lesson gets you standing up. A multi-day course gets you reading waves. The scores on these are lower partly because multi-day commitments generate more varied reviews: some students progress fast, others struggle, and the ratings reflect that spread.
The Kids Surf Camp (58/100) and Kids Surf Class (56/100) are the lowest-rated offerings. Kids programs are inherently harder to score consistently because results depend heavily on the child's age, comfort level, and ocean experience. The instruction quality is comparable to the adult lessons.
Who This Operator Is Best For
Active travelers who want to try surfing, kiteboarding, or windsurfing on Maui. This is a sports school, not a luxury experience. Expect board shorts, reef rash, and real instruction from people who live on the water. Best for beginners and intermediates who want hands-on coaching, and families looking for kids surf programs.

Dry conditions on Oʻahu today, with breezy wind in exposed areas. Drier weather continues through Wednesday as moisture clears out.
A medium-sized northwest swell will bring elevated surf to north and west-facing shores tonight through Sunday morning—conditions may briefly reach advisory levels. East-facing shores stay rough through the weekend. Winds remain breezy through Sunday, easing slightly Monday and Tuesday before picking up again Wednesday. A Small Craft Advisory is active through Monday morning for most coastal waters due to wind and sea state. Scattered showers arrive Thursday into Friday.
South and west shore beaches work well through Sunday for calmer conditions. North shore is worth watching tonight and Sunday morning if you're drawn to bigger waves.
