Goofy Foot Surf
School - Let Goofy
Foot Surf School
introduce you to the
best surfing experience
on Maui! Goofy Foot
makes the seemingly
difficult remarkably
easy!
Goofy Foot was
established in Lahaina,
Maui in April, 1995 by
the Owner/Instructor Tim
Sherer to
perpetuate his
relationship with Mother
Ocean and to teach the
ancient Hawaiian sport
of surfing. They are
dedicated to providing
professional surfing
lessons to all levels of
aspiring students in the
spirit of fun and
learning. They are
committed to
facilitating the highest
level of experience for
our guests with a focus
on teaching safety,
ocean awareness and
surfing fundamentals.
In the beginning, Goofy
Foot was run solely by
Tim with an answering
service, a pager, five
soft long boards and a
surf van that he also
called home. Since that
time they've had the
pleasure and privilege
to successfully and
safely introduce
approximately 75,000
students to the awesome
experience of surfing.
These stoked surfers
have ranged in age from
3 to 77. Students learn
fundamentals for surfing
much like they would
learn from practicing
Yoga or Martial Arts.
They've had an immense
amount of experience and
time to develop a method
of teaching based on
fundamentals and
principal areas of
focus. Along with
introducing 4 different
stances, instruction
focuses on safety,
navigating the surf
zone, and ocean
awareness. Goofy Foot
Surf School instructors
provide patient
professional
instruction, excellent
equipment, and the best
waves possible for
learning. Plus they love
what they do! They
guarantee that you'll
stand in your first
two-hour lesson or the
experience is free!
"You will stand and
ride a wave in one two
hour lesson or its free"
