Community Outreach

Our mission is to
empower girls through the sport of surfing

Maui Surfer Girls (MSG) was established in 2001 by founder Dustin Tester with a mission to build self-confidence in women through the sport of surfing. We build life-long bonds through our community of strong female role models and have been recognized nationally for our signature girls surf camps.

Introducing Mana O Maui – A Non-Profit Organization

In 2023, Dustin launched a new non-profit organization, Mana O Maui, with a mission to provide education and empowerment programs through Hawaiian cultural education, adventure education, surf therapy, and the healing arts.  Visit the website to learn more.
