FAQ

Where is SwellWomen and SwellCo-ed located? We are located approximately 3/4 mile from the historic town of Lahaina in sunny West Maui, Hawaii. Our accommodations are located on 28 acres of lush botanical gardens, large expanses of flourishing lawns and along side nearly a mile of beautiful oceanfront with breathtaking views of the ocean and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. Although your surf lessons with Maui Surfer Girls take place off property, there is time to enjoy surfing on your own in front of our accommodations.

Should I rent my own car? Transportation will be provided to and from the airport, during surf instruction and any excursions. Lahaina town is about ¾ mile away and a 25-minute walk. There are also taxis on the island as well. Additional charges may apply if you are interested in renting your own vehicle.

How can I prepare physically to make the most out of my 'Experience'? Surfing is a physically demanding sport and you may not get in the water and rip it up right away like they do on TV. The media may make it look easy…so don't be fooled…it's physically challenging, but the ultimate accomplishment! Be determined and don't give up. Swimming is one of the most useful ways of getting into shape for surfing. Swimming works most of the main muscle groups needed for surfing and it builds up that stamina. Cycling, running and general workouts in the gym will all benefit you in the ocean too. If you want to experience the highest optimal level of fun at your Experience, be prepared physically. Start training early for your adventure by swimming as much as possible and building up your cardio and muscle strength. You won't regret the extra time you put in to 'train' for your surf vacation, as your surfing rewards will be plentiful.

What time do I schedule my flight and which airport do I fly into? The first and last days of your trip are travel days. You should book your flight into Kahalui Airport (OGG) to arrive between the hours of 1:30-4:30pm. These are the hours that transportation will be provided for you. If you miss this time slot due to flight delays or scheduling, you may need to take a shuttle or taxi at your own expense.
