Action Sports Maui is a great full service training center for anyone wanting to learn kite boarding whether your a beginner or advanced rider looking to improve. I've made multiple trips to Maui and each time counted on Action Sports to help me improve my skills. Each time is was welcomed and treated like family. They have the latest equipment... More

We learned to kitesurf (if you have never done this you should, it is super fun and easier than it looks!) Maui is one of the best spots as it has consistent trade winds. Action sports runs a highly professional school and they have a system of teaching that is top notch. They have excellent and fun teachers like Rick... More

I booked a three day windsurfing course but the weather turned out to be too bad for windsurfing. They agreed to refund my money, but haven't - so I'm waiting on American Express to close the dispute with Action Sports Maui. I was disappointed after reading the good reviews on here and thinking that I had booked with a reputable... More

Aloha Chris, Please check your credit card again, as you have already been credited the full amount for your windsurfing course. Unfortunately we did have terrible rain and weather when you were on Maui. If you had made your reservation over the phone or booked in our shop, we would not have scheduled the course due to bad weather conditions... More

We visited Maui 2 weeks ago. We took kiteboarding and surfing lessons with Action Sports Maui. They run a top notch set-up. My son and I took kiteboarding lessons and had a blast! We only took a 1 day course due to all our other activites planned but we wished we had time for more lessons. We also took a... More

Great 3 day lesson with Rick. He was very thorough in his teaching and had me up and riding by the end of the third lesson. I've got loads of previous water experience so I was quick to learn. Highly recommend these guys over the rest after seeing the other "guys" teaching at the same beach. If you really want... More

I have nothing but good things to say about Action Sports Maui. The instructors are very friendly and professional. They are focused on getting the student up and riding in a safe and pleasant atmosphere. Our experience on Maui was fantastic. The owners of Action Sports Maui are very experienced and from what I understand have been doing instruction for... More

We originally purchased a 3 day windsurfing lesson package for the two of us, but ended up canceling the third day - it was much harder than either of us (both relatively athletic, strong, coordinated people) had anticipated, and our instructor was sort of a dud. Nice, but not that into it... for $600, I want an instructor in the... More

I have had 2 great weeks in Maui, Dave and Suzie kept me up to the minute for wind conditions, so I could plan my family time while on the island. Great selection of gear to adjust to the wind conditions, and to accomadate for my large size. They were great not to commit for the day and time of... More

Living in San Francisco, I'm fortunate that visiting Hawaii is a short trip for me. I've been to Maui about 10 times, once or twice a year. I go out kitesurfing with Action Sports most times I'm there if there is wind. I'm a self-taught kitesurfer, and I use them mostly as supervised-rentals for myself. I appreciate that they have...

We took kiteboarding lessons from Action Sports Maui in August. Their instructors are great and the school offers a really great training program. It was my wifes first kiteboarding lesson, I had a lesson last year in Spain and Action Sports Maui program was first class. The instructors were very knowledgeable, fun, and great instructors. Action Sports Maui provided all... More
