THE OTHER SIDE OF MAUI – WEST SIDE STORY
Mention Maui and most of us immediately register the famed north shore windsurfing spots such as Ho’okipa, Jaws, Kanaha and Sprekelsville. When the wind blows from the east or north east trade wind direction, these are without doubt the best places to sail but any glitch in the weather can bring along wet and gusty north winds, shutting down any action on the fabled miles of the NorthShore. Fortunately, Maui being an island after all, has a number of options on its other sides.
