Wahine Kai was founded in 2005 on the coast of southern Maine. Since then we have taught over 1,000 women how to surf! Surfing can be an intimidating sport to learn which is why we believe in keeping our class size small so that we can focus on each student as an individual. Our goal is to provide an intimate and nurturing environment while challenging the participant to break free and overcome their doubts and fears.

Our instructors love what they do! We are a passionate group of surfers made up of teachers, small business owners, graduate students, fashion designers, and stay at home moms.  Watching one of our participants catch their first wave is as exciting for you as it is for us. We have surfed in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Dominican Republic, Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand to name a few and we enjoy sharing those experiences with you. Our highly qualified staff of female instructors have been featured in Eastern Surf Magazine, Surfer Girl Magazine, Elle Magazine, Food Network's "BBQ with Bobby Flay" show, The USA Network's "Ready for the Weekend" show, The Wall Street Journal, and most recently Bravo's "Project Runway".
