Letter from our Founder 
Aloha SwellPeople!
Ahhh...the joy of winter! Well, I know what you are thinking, "Ha, what do YOU have to complain about living in Maui?".  Well, you are right! I certainly do not have anything to complain about living in Maui. However, I do wish to share that we did receive snow on top of our beautiful volcano of Haleakala. Yes, you heard right...snow. Check out the piece below. 
Also, be sure to read about how surfing keeps you young, win a t-shirt  and hear why our past guests rave about their time on Maui. 
Many Blissings,
Me-Shell Mijangos

Snow in Maui? 
Yes, that's right! The last time it snowed was in early '04 and it snowed only about .5 inches and was gone in a few hours. The rangers at the National Park had to issue a winter storm warning and closed the road due to high winds and ice on the road. It was predicted that the storm was not yet finished and could dump more snow on the mountain...and it did! 3 inches of freshies! Crazy!
Here is the Maui News article from the mornings paper with some additional photos.

5 Reasons Why Surfing Keeps you Young

It is a well known fact that staying active helps keep you looking and feeling young. Not many activities come close to the effect surfing has on the mind, body and spirit. According to experienced surfers, the special bond the surfer has with their surf board and the open ocean is almost impossible to explain. Below are 5 reasons why surfing keeps you young. 

Reason #1 Fresh Air
Reason #2 Stress Free
Reason #3 Muscle Tone
Reason #4 Cardiovascular Health
Reason #5 Fun in the Sun

Some say surfing keeps you young at heart. Seasoned surfers know surfing also helps keep them physically fit, looking and feeling much younger than their birth date declares.

See what our past guests have to say about their Experience on Maui! 

SwellCo-ed is a very comfortable environment to gain confidence in the water and on a surfboard. Me-Shell has put together a fantastic surf retreat that includes great instructors and staff. I would recommend SwellCo-ed to anyone looking to have a great surf experience in Maui.

What an amazing vacation! Wonderful food, amazing people, incredible experience. I can't believe that in only one week I was able to go from never touching a surfboard to feeling like I can grab a board and head out on my own. Definitely a program to repeat!
