NOT JUST HO’OKIPA
Maui has always boasted a reputation for hard-core wave sailing with Ho’okipa and Jaws stealing most of the headlines every time a major swell hits the north shore. Even though Hawaii deserves its status as a wave mecca, the majority of the days through the year boast smaller waves and even some flat water conditions making it the perfect location for windsurfers of all levels.
NB: Well I spent 17-18 years of my life based in Maui, I know the place pretty darn well and I love it. It is an incredible location to come to whatever reason you have to visit. First of all the weather is amazing. It is warm all year round and what they class as cold is not so bad, they called it cold a few days I was in Maui and we were still in shorts and a vest with sun screen on. The water is always warm all year round and it is nearly always windy. If it is not windy on the north shore, you can drive twenty minutes and find wind on the south. You have got flat water, to easy Kanaha-type wave sailing. Then you have European wave sailing conditions at Spreckelsville, epic down-the-line wave sailing at Ho’okipa and then even further up the road you have one of the world’s biggest gnarliest waves at Jaws.
