Maui info
Maui is the Windsurf/Kite/Wing and Sup capital of the world. Most of these sports have been invented or made big here. The summer offers wind and small waves and the winter, wind and big waves. Whales visit Maui between December and April.
Apart from the ocean and the beaches we have a dormant volcano, the Haleakala and a lot of rainforest with many exciting waterfalls, trails and hikes. On Maui there is always something to do.
Kanaha Beach Park
This is a great beach for windsurfing and kiteboarding. Usually the wind picks up in the morning and will be at full strength between 11 and 12. Kanaha offers an easy beach to start from, with no waves inside the reef. This makes it the perfect spot for beginner, advanced and pro wind- and kitesurfers.
There is a swimming zone, a volleyball area, lifeguard tower, showers, picnic tables, and restroom facilities.
Lanes
Most surfers and stand up paddlers use the Ho’okipa water entry. Expert surfers only. This is even more so for the kiters who kite those waves. They use the reef
access and park across the street from Lanes. Due to the dangerous access over the reef and waves, this spot is experts/pros only.
Sprecks
Another windsurf spot with fun small waves. Nice beach and good sailing but no facilities here and the parking is limited due to the sand dunes. Wind might be slightly stronger here than Kanaha.
Jaws
In the winter month with a big swell in the forecast you can see here World’s biggest waves. This only happens 5-20 times a year. If jaws goes off this is a spectatcle not to be missed. Don’t try to windsurf or surf here, only for Pro big wave surfers. Extremly dangerous.
Wind statistic
