Look down and thewater is the deepest of blues. Look to your left and you see people taking lessons. Lookfar to your right and you see pros throwing loops off nothing. Everyone who has had thegood luck to sail at Maui long enough (including myself) has a great story to tell, infact, many great stories . . . breaking or losing half of their sailing equipment on theinfamous and dreaded Hookipa "rocks" and the feeling of absolute terror in theimpact zone with not a breath of wind in your sail.On a given day, Maui has a greatervariety of sailing conditions for all levels of boardsailors than anywhere in the world.Maui's motto says it all :"MAUI NO KA OI". Translated it's :Maui is thebest.This is truly a place designed for Windsurfing. Sailing Conditions: For those looking for high winds: visit Maui in thesummer. From May to August, the northeast trade winds average 15 to 25 miles/hr, with manydays in the 20 to 30 mile/hr range. The summer is also when the wave swell is at itssmallest. For those who are looking for Maui's famous surf: visit it when there are bothtrades and waves - spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). From Decemberto February, the northeasterlies are less consistent, but there are still great sailingdays during this time - big wave days especially! During the winter, Kona storms willbring in 10-to 20-knot southwesterlies to the south shore. The sailing is side-onshore,port tack, with conditions similar to lake sailing. Another typical winter occurrence is5-to 15-knot northerlies. These winds funnel between the West Maui Mountains and theHaleakala Crater creating great side-offshore, slalom sailing on the south shore. KANAHA BEACH PARK - Kanaha is abeautiful beach park with long, sandy beaches, grassy area for rigging, fresh watershowers, shading trees, and picnic tables, all located in Kahului on the northshore.Sideshore northeast tradewinds blow consistently during June - August, with typically flatwater sailing on the inside, and good bump and jump conditions on the outside. BetweenOctober and May you can find waves on the outside reefs, ranging from small wind swell toexpert wave riding conditions. Most windsurf schools operate at Kanaha because of theconsistent wind and warm water. All year round it is a perfect place for any level sailor. SPRECKELSVILLE / CAMP ONE - Up the coast fromKanaha there is a residential area called Spreckelsville which has many beautiful sandybeaches. The main area to sail is affectionately known as "Sprecks", whichprovides pristine blue-green water and white sandy beach. Parking is limited, so arriveearly. There are no facilities or showers. The sailing level is typically intermediate toadvanced, with the reef making for more chop and breaking waves. Camp One is a no frillsbeach at the end of the Kahului Airport runway. The place has no showers, no grass riggingareas, no toilet, and barely a trash can. It does have a beautiful beach and the onlybreaking waves for most of the summer. The place is frequented by German's, Australians,Italians, French and local windsurfers. It's a place where you want to be polite andfollow the local traditions and laws to the letter. HOOKIPA - Hookipa is the windsurfingmecca of the world. Host to World Cup sailing and surfing contests, Hookipa rips. Jaggedlava rock, exposed reefs, a gnarly shorebreak, light inside winds and powerful ripcurrents make this north shore difficult to launch off limits for most sailors. Expertslaunch from the Beach Park, just downwind from the pavillion. Expect crowds, with manysailors lulling around the outside and looking for a good wave to rip on the inside. Whenthe water flattens in the summer months, slalom sailors launch here at Hookipa and blastdownwind along the north shore. KIHEI - Kihei is the south shore's mostpopular windsurfing spot. When the tradewinds blow north/northeast the pavillion locatedat the intersection of Ohukai Street and South Kihei Road is a great place to sail. Thereef can be shallow on the inside, especially near the Maui Sunset, so consult the localsbefore venturing out. Kihei is good for all level sailors and has a variety ofaccommodations nearby!

Maui Activities are in abundance available, but first let's find out more about Maui. Maui is one of the islands of Hawaii. The second largest island of Hawaii to be exact and is also known as the Valley Isle. Wailuku is the seat of the County of Maui, which includes the islands Kaho'olawe, Lana'i, Maui and Moloka'i. The weather on Maui and in all of Hawaii is the main reason it is such a popular year-round vacation destination. Lets face it, it beats being snowed in Chicago. Part of the reason we have such a wonderful weather here is because of the trade winds that blow in nice warm air from the ocean and the leeward side of the island is in the rain shadow. This side of Maui so not too wet ;but hotter and wetter on the windward side. Most MAUI RESORTS are located on the leeward side of the island. The closer you are to the windward side the more it will rain. The difference between these two climates is what gives rise to the famous MAUI RAINBOWS. The spectacular waterfalls that you probably have seen on some Hawaii Island poster advertisers can be seen best when viewed from the helicopter flight. Lets not forget one of the most important part of any vacation. GOING OUT TO EAT! The restaurants of Maui are from very local great food to world class restaurants featuring world known chefs. One of the most popular dishes here is of course Ahi, and Mahi tunas. Ahi is a Hawaiian name for "big eye, and Yellow fin tuna". There are so many activities on Maui that is impossible to describe them all here. We will be happy to assist you in any Maui activities you decide to participate in. Some of the Maui activities information and booking that you can reserve with us are: Maui Bike Tours Maui Snorkeling Maui Sunset Cruises Maui Horseback Riding Maui Kayaking Maui Wale Watching Maui Parasailing Maui Surfing And much More So if you are ready to experience life's greatest thrills while you are on Maui, book one or more activities with us and will take care of all the guesswork, and the paperwork before you arrive here.
