ACCOMMODATIONS
Your beachfront accommodations lie on 5 miles of glistening white sand beach and perfect waves. Centrally located within 20 minutes of shopping malls, restaurants, tennis, golf, entertainment and nightlife. We provide a gracious selection of one and two bedroom units, all with breathtaking views. You can't get any closer to the water than this and the surfing's awesome right out front!

Out in front of your resort is world famous Freight Trains, known to be one of the fastest waves in the world. Freight Trains breaks April - October over a shallow coral reef and wave heights range from 2 to 10 feet. This a 'double black diamond' wave for advanced surfers only.

Softer waves lie inside of Freight Trains, closer to your doorstep. These waves are slow, gentle peaks, breaking both right and left, over a much more friendly bottom. These waves are ideal for beginner to intermediate level surfers. If the swell direction isn't right for out front, there is a wide variety of spots to choose from just around the corner.

• What should I bring and how should I pack?
It's good to pack light and try not to bring more than you really need: bathing suits, walk shorts, jeans, shirts, hats, sandals, hiking shoes, sunscreen, camera, bathroom / shower amenities, books and videos etc. to enjoy on downtime. Front Street Lahaina, Kihei and Paia Town are loaded with fun shops and bars, so you may want some walking around money for souvenirs, gifts and things of that nature.

• Is Airfare included in the package price?
Airfare is NOT included in the package price of your trip. However, we work with the best travel agents in Hawaii and would be happy to assist you in booking your airfare.

• Do I need to bring my own surfboard?
You do not need to bring your own board unless you want to. We provide state of the art boards, shaped by Maui's best, and pair each guest with the right board for the day. Brian and his coaching staff will encourage you to try various boards during your stay.

• Do I need prior experience to attend your surf clinic?
No, If you are a first time surfer you are more than welcome to attend. We accommodate all levels and Maui offers the perfect variety of surf.

• What is the 'big wave season' on Maui?
The Winter months (November - March) produce the largest waves, due to strong storm systems off the North Pacific region. Surf heights this time of year can reach upward of 40 feet. Not to worry however, even during these large swells there are always 'wrap around' spots that remain manageable for our surf camp guests. It is during these "High Surf Advisory" swells that it really pays to have a knowledgeable, local guide.

• How are the waves on Maui during the Summer?
Summertime (April - October) generally brings lots of fun sized surf generated by south swells off of New Zealand. Summer south swells can get big, but more often surf usually ranges from 2 to 6 feet. Most of the summertime surf spots break on sand covered reefs very close to shore. There are some summer spots that require a bit longer of a paddle to reach, but if there's a solid swell you'll agree the long rides are well worth the effort.

• Will I need to rent a car?
We will have a pre-arranged rental car waiting for you to pick up at the airport. You will need to have a valid drivers license and credit card to pick up your car. If you are under 21, or do not drive, our instructors will pick you up from the airport and take care of all your necessary daily transportation needs. Instructor guides have 4x4 SUV's and an extensive knowledge of the island, so you will be in excellent care regardless of your driving status.
*If you are traveling in a large group or family, we can upgrade your car to a SUV or Minivan!

• I'm over 21 years of age, are alcoholic beverages included in the package price?
No. The package does not include any alcoholic beverages.

• Can I stay longer than 5 days?
Yes you can! Each additional day at SSM CAMP is $500 and can be paid for online with a Credit Card, or in cash the day of. Extra Days should be arranged in advance through Brian as to avoid double booking of your condo, but we will try our best to accommodate any last minute plans you may have.

• Is your Surf Clinic Co-Ed?
Yes, Soul Surfing Maui welcomes all guys and gals.

• Is the clinic open to all ages?
You must be 18 years of age or older to attend by yourself. Surfers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult unless Brian has spoken to the parents/guardians of the interested party, and approved a parental letter of consent.
