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.

CB: Equipment responsibility &security deposit, from agreement MWC: Insurance available through travel package SW: Customer is responsible for any damage to gear.

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.

Maui Windsurfing

The Maui Windsurfing DAILY Report MWR Daily Report September 23rd, 1997 I ran the other way!... Well, it happened... (actually a lot of happened but I'll get to that) What happened? The first north swell of the winter happened. Came in to Maui last night and was glorious at 10-15'. Unfortunately, although it seemed windy, it was one of those onshore "fools winds" But nobody was that foolish. I hung around Hoo'kipa for about an hour to see if anyone was gonna dare it but I was stuck talkin story with the homeys. Then, a light went off in my pea brain.... it was tellin me, "Go to the south shore you wind maggot! Can't you see that if it's onshore on the north shore that its probably windy as hell on the south shore.?" I had to answer myself by truckin on down there. I wasn't disappointed. It was fully 5.0 (more like 4.7 but I was too stoked to come back and re-rig) and the waves were like head high. Fully bashable.. I did have one negative incident and that was when I was standing in waist deep water, playin with my lines when suddenly I look up and there's some giant BIC board bearing down on me. I make a frantic leap and barely get out of the way but I hear this most terrible sound of a "bonk." I realize I'm still alive but I see this guy who barely speak s English (he barely speaks at all cause I'm screamin and yellin at him for almost killin me.) I have to admit that I fully went off on the guy, especially when I see that there's a ding in my brand new, virgin and unreal stick. I was goin frickin bananas! (You boardheads that know me can quit laughing NOW!) Well, I sorta got my composure back and told him to meet me at the beach. (We were at Maui Sunset) At the beach I tell him that I'm sorry for yelling and he blurbs off something about paying for the ding in my board. Actually, I can hardly understand this fellow but he now has my attention as he's talkin my language, MONEY! We settle on a price for the repair ($50) and I again apologize for lighting up like a volcano on him. He says something like, "it's OK." So I feel like everybody is allright now.... the guy goes his way I look at my brand new board which is now just another stick on the street Surf life will never be the same..... (but I did bash some good ones today) hope to see you out there.. (just don't try to run me over) aloha - Tim Back to September, 97 Thissite uses VOXWARE soundtechnology.
