“We’re having the best time in Maui. Today we surfed and everyone stood up in their boards numerous times. Thank you to @aloha_surf_school_mauiand our awesome instructor. It was a fantastic experience had by all. I wish the little guy could have been in this picture but since he’s too young to surf, he played in the kids club while the rest of us hit the waves!”
