Goofy Foot Surf School – All Surf Lessons

After a few months processing, I am finally ready to leave a review. Back in June I took a beginner surf class with Goofy Foot. I had a great time, and got some great pictures from the company. My issue came once we were out of the water. My fiance pointed out to me that I was bleeding. Sure enough at one point I fell off my board and cut my leg/ foot, but didn't notice it until after. We tried washing out the cuts, but the bleeding would not stop in my foot. Goofy Foot provided us with a first aid kit that contained a few measly band aids and variety of hot sauce packets. There was more hot sauce neatly organized in the box than actual medical supplies. I understand it is not the company's fault that I got cut nor their responsibility to bandage me up, however an aqueduct first aid kit would have made a big difference. The staff was not taking my injuries seriously at all and could barely tell me where to go for medical help. Considering what can happen to beginners surfing over a reef, it would be beneficial to have a staff who are well versed on where to send clients who need medical attention. We ended up at a local Minit Clinic where my cut received a good cleaning, x-rays, 2 internal stitches, and 5 external stitches. Again- I know I signed a waiver and I accept full responsibility for the cut and did not expect the staff to treat my cut, however it would have been nice to see an actual stocked first aid kit and a staff that was trained to tell us where to go for these injuries. While I was getting stitched up, all I could think about was how I was so glad that happened to me, an adult, instead of one of the small children in my group.

Great experience with these guys overall. The instructors are great. I took my daughter (11) to her 1st "class" - because there was a pretty big swell that day, she got a bit intimidated and decided to go in to shore early (before she was able to stand up on her board). Goofy Foot gave us a full refund for her, we didn't even ask. . . it was really appreciated. Highly recommended.

My daughter and I took the beginner group lessons on Monday with JB and he was great. He gave a good lesson on the beach, as well as additional tips once we started surfing. My daughter didn't enjoy surfing, but that had nothing to do with the instructions. She simply didn't enjoy the activity. I, on the other hand, absolutely loved it. I went back for a second group lesson on Thursday. My instructor was Kevin, and he did an equally wonderful job teaching. After I caught my second wave, Kevin had me stay out there to keep practicing on my own, while he continued with the group lesson. Kevin occasionally called me over to provide additional tips. After the lesson, I rented a board for two more hours and went out on my own. Several of the other Goofy Foot instructors were out giving lessons, and would occasionally give me tips and critique. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. In addition, the school provides free photographs after the lesson. I'm very pleased with the quality of instruction and rental prices. I plan to rent a board one more time before we leave Maui tomorrow.

Great surf lesson with all equipment that is needed! Nice and motivating coaches. Was a bit crowded so maybe try to avoid weekends but still an awesome experience that I can totally recommend! GREAT PICTURES! :)

What a great experience! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. Joe, our surf instructor, was informative, precise and offered instant feedback on our attempts to catch and ride waves. I had such a great time for my first time surfing! Anyone looking to try surfing should sign up with Goofy Foot right away!!!
