" A n interminable language...it is one of the oldest living languages of the earth, as some conjecture, and may well be classed among the best ...the thought to displace it, or to doom it to oblivion by substituting the English language, ought not for a moment to be indulged. L ong live the grand old, sonorous, poetical Hawaiian language." ~The Rev. Lorenzo Lyons(Makua Laiana), 1878, composer of "Hawai`i Aloha" , missionary. Why Learn Hawaiian? 20 Pono Reasons T he reasons to learn and cherish the Hawaiian language are many and varied. Ultimately, the desire... or the need... comes from within. I received the call to return home , "gift-wrapped in song and chant." Keali`i Reichel was my `ânela (angel, which means "messenger") and my desire to learn Hawaiian was ignited. Whether your desire burns like a raging fire, glows softly, or just barely smolders, it is enough to get you started here. Perhaps, for you, too, the need will become apparent. What's New? W hat's new on this site will be listed here for the convenience of frequenters. Hawaiian Language Lessons T hese beginner lessons are for the curious, the "local", the visitor, the expatriate, the homesick, the Hawaiian music lover, the hula aficionado, the `ukulele player, the culturally-aware, the unaware, and the-somewhere-in-between...the casual or the serious student. Browse through the Table of Contents ; there's something there for just about everyone ... including, maybe, you.

The Lânai C ome visit! E kipa mai! On the lânai, you will find journal musings... but only if you care to listen. Here's a sampling: Voice of an Angel tells of a series of synchronistic events, "bread crumbs leading home," which then lead to the creation of this site. Kalapana recalls nostalgic memories of a past Hawai`i, with a hopeful glimpse to the future, with hope that by learning well from the past, a brighter future is possible.

Maui Windsurfing

Maui's windsurfing shops Maui's Windsurfing Shops Candy.. .It's all sweet, but it's a question of flavor. There is no place on earth with the selection and service as the windsurfing shops of Maui. Highly competitive, and eager to help you have fun, Maui's shops are stocked with the latest and greatest rental fleets and merchandise. Half the fun of preparing for a trip to Maui is investigating the shops. I encourage you to ask your friends about their experiences with particular shops and keep in mind that other shops you may have not heard about could be pleasant surprises. None of the shops listed here are lacking in any way. It may be no more than, " you like the guys at the counter " that makes one shop more attractive to you than another If yer asking me what I think personally? I like them all. I stand on my personal reputation when I say that the people of Maui' s windsurfing retail are all the kind of guys (and gals) you'd love to sail and party with. The shops are listed in the order that they submitted their responses to me.

HI: Maui's most complete rental center. We offer every level of rental gear. From learning waterstarts to high performance slalom and wave boards. HT: We are the only shop that owns it's own factory, so we have the newest board design and board construction in our rental fleet. SBM: 200 boards, none over 1 year old, 7 different lines. Something for everyone. WR: We never run out of equipment and keep up to date 1995 equipment. CB: We are willing to negotiate. Rental ware almost new. MWC: We doubled the size of our fleet for 1995. All equipment is new for this year! Great selection of the "latest and greatest" SW: We have a very high performance rental fleet. With a great selection of styro/epoxy wave boards in radical wave shapes or toned down wave/slalom models. Also a full selection of "Bump an Jump" in small sizes, 8'2" - 7'11". We also have a great selection of high performance surfboards to rent. From 10' longboards to 6' shortboards. Rental Equipment Prices... 7 day board/rig and two sails (exchangeable at any time) I have decided that publishing the prices may begin a cheesy price war and get me in trouble on this small island. I will tell you that the prices vary from $240-$280 . Prices also fluctuate according to time of year. (It's more in the summer when the shops are rockin and less in the very sailable winter months) Although it is not published anywhere...Many shops have an attitude discount. Smiles count for a lot on Maui.I urge you to consider minor price differences as insignificant relative to service and equipment offered. Check out all the shops for the best value before you decide.. The smart thing is to call around well in advance. Particularly in the summer season. OK, bitch at me. Price for 30 days rental? Again, the shops vary only slightly from one another. the range is $540-$570 What is your policy on damage to rental gear? HI: We offer insurance to clients for damaged equipment. HT: Customer pays for damage unless a manufacturers defect SBM: $3 a day insurance. $20 deductible. Covers damage, not theft. WR: Customer pays for replacement or can have insurance for $5 a day . CB: Equipment responsibility &security deposit, from agreement MWC: Insurance available through travel package SW: Customer is responsible for any damage to gear. All gear we rent is damage free before it leaves the store. What is your policy on counting days sailed? HI: We offer the fairest policy. If you sail, you pay. HT: Customer only pays for the days he (she) sails but customer must turn in equipment on "off" days. SBM: On no wind days, we offer the customer an instant credit to be used for future rentals. In unusual circumstances, we will refund. WR: If equipment is out it is counted as a day sailed CB: No wind day, no charge MWC: We only charge for days actually used. SW: Customers only pay for the days they sail. A "Lay Day" is given when the gear is returned to the shop. So, customers only pays for the days they choose to sail.
