Action Sports Maui was created by master waterman David Dorn. David
has used his 28 years international teaching experience, to realize his
vision to create the ultimate Water-sports Training Center.
Action Sports brings the best watermen in each field together to offer the
highest level of instruction possible. Each Action Sports Instructor is a
highly trained full-time professional and expert in their field. Action Sports
Maui has also become the primary center for watersports Instructor training in
Hawaii. Every Instructor is rigorously trained and tested to teach under Maui's
demanding conditions. Each instructor is CPR and First Aid certified, and
undergoes a comprehensive training program to equip them with the necessary
skills. This combined with their years of watersports experience makes the some
of the best instructors around. Watersports instructor training courses are one
of the areas Action Sports Maui specializes in. Each year we teach instructors
from around the world in windsurfing surfing and kiteboarding. Currently we are
the IKO's premier instructor training center in the USA. and offer all levels of
education, training and certification. Including instructor retraining, and
certification equivalency programs.
Good Guys Wear Black.....
Action Sports
Instructors and Instructor Trainers wear a distinctive black uniform that is easily
recognizable, the choice of the black color is rooted in strong surfing
traditions that started in Australia and Hawaii. Action Instructors wear their
uniform with pride because they know that they are a part of a select group of
talented individuals that have made the Action Sports grade. (Our Trainees wear
the BLUE uniforms).
Beware of
imitations! They
say that imitation is a sincere form of flattery however the other schools on
Maui have decided to try and copy Action Sports wherever possible. Some have
even tried and copy our distinctive
uniform. So beware of inferior imitations. Action Sports is the original, often imitated but
never duplicated.
