Everyone that works here is so friendly and stoked to help you learn how to kite! I had my lesson with Gabi and she was a phenomenal teacher. I would highly recommend lessons with her and anyone else at the school, everyone is great!

Tyler is an incredible instructor! Took an intermediate two day lesson with him. Very attentive and professional: he had his eyes on me the entire time and always had great advice and positive reinforcement. You can’t go wrong with MKS!

You learn a lot more than kitesurfing skills from instructors this elite at a location like this.

What an unbelievable experience. If you want to learn in an environment where your teacher is passionate about your complete experience, look no further. My teacher is John and he is a master at making this sport understandable and just plain fun. Get ready for an energy surge you may not have felt since you were a kid!!

Jared is an amazing instructor! His love and passion for kiting is undeniable and he truly wants you to have an amazing and safe experience. He takes time to answer questions and makes sure you understand what youll be doing on the water. Jared is experienced and knowledgeable in every aspect of kiting; not to mention he has expertise in every water sport imaginable!!! He took me kiting for the first time and it was so, so much FUN! Hes patient and completely stoked to be out on the water with you. I highly recommend Maui Kitesurfing School whether youre just learning to kite or want a locals expertise of Mauis waters. Jared is the best! I cant wait to be back on Maui so I can kite again.

My best Kitesurfing experience ever. I took lessons in the past but Jared and Chris knowledge, dedication, patience, passion and professionalism made all the difference, I came with mediocre skills and habits and I left with proficiency, confidence and a lot of comfort. This school is the BEST in Maui, hands down. I highly recommend it. Satisfaction guaranteed. Good wind.

These guys make a potentially very traumatic experience very enjoyable. Beginning kiting was and still is one of the hardest things to do at the age of 50 for me. From day 1 they take you step by step in a very organized, pleasant journey and carefully monitor your progression. Jared is a stand up guy, talented, pleasant and is there for you every step of the way. Even when you are good enough to go on your own, you know they are there, watching out for you, giving you advice, helping you improve.

AWESOME! I took 2 lessons while visiting friends, one with Chris and one with Nik. Both instructors were super nice, and you guys, they are HILARIOUS. I just wanted to learn some basics in one lesson, but really had such an awesome day with Chris I booked a second lesson for the next day! These guys know their stuff and have great teaching styles. Im planning on doing another session when I go back in June! Thanks guys!!

I highly recommend Kiteboarding School of Maui. Jared, Chris and Nick are great guys and excellent instructors. I am a bigger guy and was concerned about them not having the right equipment but hey have a huge van with tons of equipment so it was not a problem. Kite beach is an awesome scene and these guys are dialed in!

Maui Kitesurfing School is by far the best on Island! Friendly and professional instructors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of any student. Plus this is the only Kite school offering Tandem Kitesurfing, which is by far the best way for a new student to experience the sport of kiting. Jared is the talent and mastermind behind tandem Kitesurfing, and he is an expert kitesurfer with boundless amounts of knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport. If you have any interest in experiencing the incredible sport of Kitesurfing on Maui then you must schedule your time with Maui Kitesurfing School!

Jared was awesome! I had spoken with him before arriving in order to book a tandem kiteboarding experience and was told to call him the morning of our scheduled time to see if we would have enough wind. My husband called and Jared let him know the next day looked more promising. The next morning came and we were told it was a go. Jared told us the place and time to meet and he was right where he said he would be. After some short instruction time and a question and answer time to get the feel of my comfort zone, we were off. He has put his tandem paragliding experience to work in order to provide a great tandem kiting experience. My husband is a kite boarder and had hoped this adventure would allow me to see why he loves it. Jared sure did. From catching some waves to catching big air I will say it again...It was awesome. Forget the ring, go see this Jared.

Easily one of the most exciting and thrilling experiences Ive ever participated in. The people working here made this new adventure worth while. Besides making the kitesurfing easier to learn, they were all so energetic, helpful, and passionate people. If youre going to go to Maui, you do NOT want to miss out on this!! 🖒

These guys and gals were awesome. I only got a chance to ride with Jared but all the ppl in the shop were helpful and easy to talk to. Jared made my ride amazing from the outset. I had little experience with kiting (as they call it) but he eased me into rides I wont easily forget. Thanks buddy.

If you wanna learn to kite or get proficient with your existing kiting skills, look no further than the exceptionally talented staff @ Maui Kitedurfing School. They helped me learn kiting from scratch (guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks) & Jared had me up on the board down & up-wind with that kite in the air quickly, safely & consistently. RIDE WITH THEM. Thanks & Aloha.

Scheduled for a beginner lesson for 2 at 2 pm, and also called a week before to confirm. On the day of the lesson, my partner and I were looking for the truck at the beach and couldnt find it, and called twice and texted with no response. We drove to the office and the truck was parked right there. We went in to the store that also happens to be the office and turns out that there was no wind that day so the lesson was canceled. My partner and I were not informed at all, and had to text them to refund our lessons later that day.Never got to experience the lessons themselves, but the school has been very unprofessional and ruined our holiday plans. I will not recommend them to anyone.

My first kiting lesson was incredible, so naturally, I booked a follow up lesson!If you want great teacher who tailors each lesson to his students unique learning style I recommend Nicho. Nicho was great at explaining difficult kiting concepts so that a complete beginner like myself could understand them.Nicho keeps lesson fun and challenging but does so in a way that leaves his students feeling confident with a new found passion for this incredible sport!

Great team of very talented, experienced and super awesome Kiteboarders. Really good instructors and the only place to go for tandem rides which is probably the best way to check out Kiting if your unsure or just want to have a lot of fun really fast with this beautiful sport..... The water is warm, the wind is perfect, the people are stoked and so can you be. Come check out the Kiteboarding scene and try it out. These guys got your back.

Kitesurfing is definitely one of the greatest sports that allows you to harness energy from mother nature and control it at your finger tips. Jarred and his team are true masters on passing on the stoke to all who want to experience this for themselves. Its definitely an advantage to learn this sport at such a great location like Kanaha beach with fresh tradewinds and warm water its easy to see why this experience can become so addictive.

The best company! super professional, Jared and the guys are great!recommended to anyone who wants to experience kiting on MAUI!ALOHA

Maui Kitesurfing School and Jared are the best in Maui and in the world! Real Passion to Kiteboarding and Servicing People! Keep up a good Job! Highly recommended to everyone! Lifetime experience!

Brah my experience at maui kite surfing school was amazing. Ive had so many adventures and kite surfing was one of the best experences, floating on the water, that wind in my face. Jared made learning easy and fun and I was kiting in no time Thanks!!!

Great instructors with really positive attitudes all around! I would recomend to anyone, no matter what your skill level.

- Excellent instructors (skilled, safe, patient, encouraging)- Eager to see you learn (will take the pace as fast or slow as you want, wont hold you back or rush you)- Generous with their time (follow up with you on the beach with tips even after lessons, give advice on gear and kites)I bought two lessons: One beginner lesson for my sister and one intermediate lesson for myself. Both were with Jay.BEGINNER LESSON:My sister had never touched a kite before. I was very particular about finding an instructor who 1) was very safe and skilled and 2) would show her how fun the sport could be.Id been practicing myself on the same beach as Jay and his students for a few weeks. I saw how every student who came away from his lessons was exuberantly happy and made a huge leap in their skill level. Even the most timid newbies made great progress. When the learning environment is so safe and the instructor is that patient and encouraging anyone is going to flourish.By the end of her first lesson, my sister was steadily flying the kite and body dragging! (This was such a contrast to my first couple lessons with a different school where they intentionally slowed the lessons so youd frustratingly have to pay for 3 before you were even in the water.)She got a taste of flying over the water with a fun tandem ride afterwards and came back grinning ear to ear.I was so happy that she was so happy! If youre looking to hopefully trick your family member/friend/SO into loving your favorite sport, go with this school hands down.INTERMEDIATE LESSON:I couldnt reliably stay upwind and wanted a lesson to lock that in so I wouldnt need to keep walking up the beach after drifting downwind. Bonus would be learning how to jump.Within the first hour Jay had helped me lock in going upwind. He rode alongside me, just upwind, and gave me constant feedback and tweaking. Its so much easier to get it dialed in just right when you have a coach drilling you on your bad habits.For example, Id get so focused on getting my board angle correct that Id let the kite drift up too high and lose all my power. Whenever it started to climb Jay would yell out 45 degrees and I could correct in the moment. Much less time sitting in the water analyzing how Id messed up and way more experiences of everything clicking. It was amazing. Suddenly I had control over my speed and direction.After that he asked if I still wanted to try out some baby jumps (YES!) and demonstrated how.His teaching style is really effective -- hell explain, then demonstrate, then patiently repeat that process until you get it. For me he noticed that I understand the concepts much better when he explains in terms of the physics of the opposing forces, so started following up every simple how-to technique explanation with a physics explanation.After following his lead I jumped a short 5 feet then a super fun 10 feet. Cant wait to keep trying for higher, and so thrilled to get that experience from my lesson.A few last points about Jay as an instructor:Ive seen him doing tricks in his own time and hes a total badass but he doesnt use the lesson to show off -- its all about you and getting great practice time in. He does a great job of constantly checking in to see that youre feeling good and understanding how to do the technique youre currently practicing. And when youre practicing, the encouragement both sees you through the moments when youre floundering and makes the successes that much more celebratory.OVERALL:I am so happy with my experience and would highly recommend Maui Kiteboarding School. Jay is a really top notch instructor and all of the other instructors Ive met from the school are super friendly and generous with advice when they see me out on the beach. The cost of a lesson is a bargain for how much great help you get.

Best Instructor in the World! No kidding! Love Jared and Maui Kitesurfing School!

Had a great lesson today. They had me up and riding in no time.

Had a GREAt time! Not only was everyone so professional, they were also such fun;
