Maui Windsurfing

Vela Windsurf Resorts wind reports accommodations equipment lessons kitesurfing staff tips and facts other activities got kids? feedback photos map WHAT TO BRING: There are a few things we don't want you to forget. Here are two lists: Airline tickets The enclosed Vela vouchers for car, condo, and/or equipment (you need to exchange these for services) Current driver's license and major credit card in name of rental car driver (you will need these to rent your car) Extra spending money (see "CASH/CREDIT CARDS" below) Paperback books for flights and evenings (The following items are all available in wonderful variety on Maui; you may want to pack light and roomy and bring home some island-grown gear.) We do recommend you bring: shorty wetsuit and/or thermal rashguard, booties, harness Gloves to prevent blisters while sailing 100% UV sunglasses w/ eyeglass retainer (floating) Waterproof sunscreen lotion (oil makes board slippery) Beach towel (condo towels just don't do the job) Helmet and/or PFD, if desired. Light jacket/windbreaker To avoid the inconvenience of lost luggage, we recommend that you pack light enough to carry on your luggage. Check with your airline for carry on restrictions. At the least, carry on all those items that you would need to fully enjoy your first few days. If you are on a "Complete Rig" package, your package includes use of a complete board and rig, including two sails (w/ correct masts). This easily handles the needs of most people. Many people who have brought some of their own sails have reported that they stayed in their bags the whole trip. Also, the airlines can charge you up to $150 each way if they know you are checking "windsurfing equipment". However, you may feel you want to bring one or two small sails with you and choose the larger ones from Vela Maui so that you will have other sails at your disposal while at the beach. Have any questions about odd sails, etc? Feel free to call Vela Maui before you go. PACKING FOR THE WEATHER : Maui is a lush tropical destination. The rain that produces the lush vegetation is more frequent in the winter months, so expect it to be a little wetter and somewhat cooler in winter, drier and a bit warmer in summer. Generally it will be in the mid-80's during the day and slightly cooler at night. In the "Upcountry" area or up on the rim of Haleakala crater, it can be much cooler. Bring a light jacket for evenings and a very warm one if you plan on catching the spectacular sunrise on top of Haleakala. People dress casually on the island. Only in some of the most expensive restaurants would a coat or dress be expected. You might want to leave a little space in your luggage for clothing acquired in Maui; some people consider Maui a paradise for shopping as well. CASH/CREDIT CARDS: We recommend that you bring some cash, travelers checks and a major credit card. The Maui Windsurf Company will accept credit cards for any additional services or goods you may want to purchase on-site. Most establishments on the island accept major credit cards. We suggest you bring extra cash or traveler's checks of at least $50 per person per day of stay. You may go home with most of it, but if you want it, you'll have it. Documents CHECK YOUR DOCUMENTS NOW for accuracy and then RECONFIRM ALL FLIGHT TIMES with your airline before you go to the airport. If your flight arrival time is different than the "time" printed on your green Dollar Rent-a-Car voucher, please call Dollar at 800-367-7006 and update your reservation, noting date, time and the name of the Dollar agent on your corrected voucher. (Dollar will automatically cancel your reservation if your car is not picked up within two hours of this time.) UPON ARRIVAL AT MAUI'S KAHULUI AIRPORT : Unless you've carried on all your luggage, the driver indicated on your Dollar Rent-a-Car voucher should catch the Dollar shuttle vehicle to Dollar's base yard. Any others in your party can collect checked luggage and be ready to be picked up by the driver in your party. The Dollar desk will be open until 10:00 PM. If you are renting a vehicle through Vela Maui, see notes below. DOLLAR RENT-A-CAR: Dollar will offer collision damage and personal injury insurance at a significant additional daily rate. We recommend you check with your own car insurer before leaving for Maui; your policy may already include such coverage. Regardless, as is standard with all rental car companies, Dollar will require a signed, blank imprint of your credit card or a cash deposit. Depending on your situation, there may be some other charges not payable in advance of the return of your car. Dollar has a minimum driver age of 25 (or additional $15 plus tax per day for ages 21-24) and additional drivers are $6 per day. Dollar rents on a 24-hour basis and if you are keeping your car an hour or so later than the time on the clock that you picked it up, you will owe them an additional $10-$12 an hour, which is cheaper than us charging you a full additional day's rental. If your departure time is several hours later than your arrival time, check your car voucher to make sure the "DROP-OFF" date is one day later than you are actually leaving. We should have included an additional day's rental in your package, but only if we know what your flight times are. You should find your car full of gas and relatively clean. If you return it otherwise there may be additional gas or cleaning fees (see: RETURNING YOUR DOLLAR RENTAL CAR). DOLLAR WILL CHARGE YOU A $3/DAY STATE IMPOSED SURCHARGE and a 7.5% AIRPORT RECOVERY Tax. . Dollar will be glad to provide directions to your accommodations and Vela Maui (located within Neil Pryde Maui - hours 8:30 am to 5:00 PM), where you will pick up your racks and equipment. Vela Maui / Neil Pryde Van Rental: You can rent a van from Neil Pryde as part of you package. Call your Vela Agent for Vela Van pickup instructions at least 1week prior to arrival. GETTING TO VELA MAUI : From the airport, stay straight on Keolani Pl (it will become Dairy Rd.) Follow the signs to Lahaina and Kihei, Cross the Haleakela Hwy and the Hana Hwy (2 lights). Make the first right on Alamaha St. The next street is Papa Pl, turn right. Vela Maui is located inside the Neil Pryde Maui retail shop, located at the corner of Papa and the Hana Hwy. the address is 400 Hana Hwy. If you arrive after 5:00 pm you can pick up your equipment the following morning. Prepaid lessons and equipment are not refundable after your scheduled arrival date. Vela's Wind Warranty works differently on Maui; check with Vela Maui about "Lay Day" and "Return-trip Credit" details before checking out equipment. CHECKING INTO YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS: See the instructions on your document cover letter (the one with your address on it). This will help you in getting to your accommodations and checking in. In this letter you will also find a number to call if you need to talk to someone about your condo while on the island. Your condo management company is always available to help make your vacation an enjoyable one. If the plumbing plugs up, the toaster doesn't work, etc., call them immediately. It's their job to see that it gets fixed now. Then go enjoy Maui. Chances are good it will be fixed by the time you get back from sailing. If not, stay in communication with them. We have chosen the best, most responsive condo management companies on the island. You are in good hands. Click here for North Shore Directions. LESSONS : Alan Cadiz and his staff of HST instructors have been setting the standards in windsurfing instruction since 1985. Their instructors' high level of skill allows them to sail right next to you on the water, giving you the confidence and the coaching you need to excel quickly. Lessons are taught at Kanaha, Kihei, and from private beachfront locations along Maui's North shore. HST offers beginner through advanced, group and private lessons including jibing and wave sailing. As all lessons are by appointment only, reservations are recommended as far in advance as possible. If you have prepaid for lessons or would now like to plan lessons, please call the HST staff at 800-YOU-JIBE (968-5423) to arrange your schedule directly. OTHER ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE : Maui has one of the widest selection of activities of any vacation destination in the world. Good snorkeling and diving trips leave daily from nearby Maalaea Harbor. Hiking, horseback riding and exciting downhill bicycle excursions are available on the slopes of the mighty volcano Haleakala. Shopping is legendary. Your new friends at The Maui Windsurf Company know the best deals and operators and can send you in the right direction. RESTAURANTS: The staff at Vela Maui also are your best source of information about restaurants and nightlife. They have hosted many, many sailors on Maui and are getting constant feedback about what's happening where. SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT LEAVING MAUI LEAVING YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS: Please respect the checkout time posted in your unit. If you have a late flight out of Maui, you might be able to check out of your unit later in the day. When you arrive, or at least several days before you leave, check with the property management company directly (NOT THE FRONT DESK) about this. Get the name of the person who says OK and how late is OK. If someone happens to be checking in the same day you are leaving, it will not be possible to stay late because your unit must be made ready for them; however, with advance notice, arrangements can often be made. If not, Kanaha Beach Park has freshwater showers so you can still play all day and not have to fly home sandy or salty. [Should an emergency necessitate a return home earlier than your scheduled date, we will do all we can to get refunds for you. Standard condo and car cancellation fees usually exceed any balance left, but property management companies are often quite understanding of emergencies. To assist us in this, you must make sure you get written verification of check-out date from the front desk and also from The Maui Windsurf Company and Dollar Rent-a-Car.] RETURNING YOUR EQUIPMENT : Be aware of The Vela Maui opening and closing times - 9:00 - 6:00. If you are not planning on sailing the day you leave, you may find it easier to return equipment the afternoon before, rather than in the morning. RETURNING YOUR DOLLAR RENTAL CAR: Dollar has to get your car ready for someone else to use. If you return it low on gas or really dirty and full of sand, they will charge you. There are gas stations on your way back into Kahalui. If you are the rare type to really trash a car, Dolphin Car Wash at 156 Wakea has vacuums. If you're concerned about this, clarify with Dollar their policies before taking the vehicle. Leave plenty of time to drop off your equipment, gas your car, check it in, and catch the shuttle to the airport. AT THE KAHALUI AIRPORT: You will have to pass agricultural inspection. Prepackaged fruit sold specifically to be taken back to the mainland is usually OK. Fruit bought in the supermarkets to be consumed on Maui is generally not allowed off the island. SAILING BEACHES (please note: By county ordinance there is no sailing in Maui before 11:00am. This is out of respect for other water users, surfers and fishermen.) NORTHSHORE BEACHES - The northshore beaches stretch from kite beach (lower Kanaha) all the way to Hookipa at the eastern end. Conditions range from fun flat water and chop to the ultimate wave sailing at Hookipa. Depending on surf conditions and wind you will be able to find a spot that is suitable for your taste. Kanaha Beach Park - Located very near Kahalui Airport , Kanaha consists of several shallow sandy coves along the eastern end of Kahalui Bay on the North Shore. Recommended Abilities: Beginner in the most eastern cove through advanced in the most western cove and beyond the reef. Water and Wind: A reef 400 yards offshore means flat water in summer and larger chop in winter. On the reef there are large waves in winter, early spring and fall. Smaller waves prevail in summer with rolling swell outside. Wind picks up from light in the morning, to strong in the afternoon. Spreckelsville Beach - Located 4 miles east of Kanaha, Sprecklesville's quality surf conditions draw some of the best sailors on the island. Obtain directions from the rental shop. Recommended ability: Intermediate to advanced surfsailor. Wind and Water: Same sideshore, consistent trade winds as Kanaha, only a little stronger. Sprecklesville reef produces some excellent conditions to hone your skills for the next step up.... Hookipa Beach Park - Hookipa is located 2 miles east of Paia on the Hana Highway just past Mama's Fish House Restaurant. The tiny beach, tucked in a cove below, serves as a launch for the premier wave venue in the world. Sail only if you are an expert wavesailor, or watch the best from the bluff. KIHEI BEACHES - These narrow, palm fringed beaches stretch from Maalaea Bay through the beach town of Kihei, always accessible off N. Kihei Road. Sailing areas range from beginner, with sheltered side-offshore wind conditions directly in front of the Sugar Beach Condominium Property, to advanced north of the Sugar Beach area. Pavilions (Maipoina Oe Lau Beach Park ) - Just north of Kihei off N. Kihei Road, this site really cooks when the winds shift to the north (a more frequent condition in winter) and accelerate through the valley at speeds up to 30 mph. Less than a mile south of Pavilions is Ka Ono Ulu Beach Park below. Ka Ono Ulu Beach Park - the same conditions but a rocky launch and less sailors. For both... Recommended Ability : Intermediate to advanced sailors Water and Wind : Flat with some chop. 15 to 30 mph blowing side-onshore in a northerly and side-offshore during normal tradewind conditions. Sugar Beach - Directly in front of Sugar Beach Condominiums in the lee of the buildings you'll find lower velocity side-offshore wind. It is possible for beginners to sail here, although Kanaha is more ideal. A ten minute walk up the beach is "Speed Beach" where offshore winds up to 30 mph, particularly in a northerly, create a speed slalom heaven with flat water conditions. Recommended Ability : Beginner in front of resort, intermediate to advanced at Speed Beach. Water and Wind : Flat close-in. Swell and chop in bay. Up to 30 mph blowing offshore at Speed Beach.
