Windsurfing Maui A-Z Windsurfing Maui A-Z Apr 16, 2004 / Community Maui By Frank "SIMS" Bingel Much has been said and written about Maui, but there remain many untold stories and emotions associated with this windsurfing mecca. Look down and the water is the deepest of blues. Look to your left and you see people taking lessons. Look far to your right and you see pros throwing loops off nothing. Everyone who has had the good luck to sail at Maui long enough (including myself) has a great story to tell, in fact, many great stories . . . breaking or losing half of their sailing equipment on the infamous and dreaded Hookipa "rocks" and the feeling of absolute terror in the impact zone with not a breath of wind in your sail.On a given day, Maui has a greater variety 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 the best.This is truly a place designed for Windsurfing. Sailing Conditions: For those looking for high winds: visit Maui in the summer. From May to August, the northeast trade winds average 15 to 25 miles/hr, with many days in the 20 to 30 mile/hr range. The summer is also when the wave swell is at its smallest. For those who are looking for Maui's famous surf: visit it when there are both trades and waves - spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). From December to February, the northeasterlies are less consistent, but there are still great sailing days during this time - big wave days especially! During the winter, Kona storms will bring 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 is 5-to 15-knot northerlies. These winds funnel between the West Maui Mountains and the Haleakala Crater creating great side-offshore, slalom sailing on the south shore. KANAHA BEACH PARK - Kanaha is a beautiful beach park with long, sandy beaches, grassy area for rigging, fresh water showers, shading trees, and picnic tables, all located in Kahului on the northshore. Sideshore northeast tradewinds blow consistently during June - August, with typically flat water sailing on the inside, and good bump and jump conditions on the outside. Between October and May you can find waves on the outside reefs, ranging from small wind swell to expert wave riding conditions. Most windsurf schools operate at Kanaha because of the consistent wind and warm water. All year round it is a perfect place for any level sailor. SPRECKELSVILLE / CAMP ONE - Up the coast from Kanaha there is a residential area called Spreckelsville which has many beautiful sandy beaches. The main area to sail is affectionately known as "Sprecks", which provides pristine blue-green water and white sandy beach. Parking is limited, so arrive early. There are no facilities or showers. The sailing level is typically intermediate to advanced, with the reef making for more chop and breaking waves. Camp One is a no frills beach at the end of the Kahului Airport runway. The place has no showers, no grass rigging areas, no toilet, and barely a trash can. It does have a beautiful beach and the only breaking 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 and follow the local traditions and laws to the letter. HOOKIPA - Hookipa is the windsurfing mecca of the world. Host to World Cup sailing and surfing contests, Hookipa rips. Jagged lava rock, exposed reefs, a gnarly shorebreak, light inside winds and powerful rip currents make this north shore difficult to launch off limits for most sailors. Experts launch from the Beach Park, just downwind from the pavillion. Expect crowds, with many sailors lulling around the outside and looking for a good wave to rip on the inside. When the water flattens in the summer months, slalom sailors launch here at Hookipa and blast downwind along the north shore. KIHEI - Kihei is the south shore's most popular windsurfing spot. When the tradewinds blow north/northeast the pavillion located at the intersection of Ohukai Street and South Kihei Road is a great place to sail. The reef can be shallow on the inside, especially near the Maui Sunset, so consult the locals before venturing out. Kihei is good for all level sailors and has a variety of accommodations nearby!

Hawaiian City Garden

Hawaii Vacation in Lanai City - Hotel Lanai - Lodging near the island of Maui Hawaii Vacation in Lanai City - Hotel Lanai - Lodging near the island of Maui Just a few of the things to do while on Lanai: -Jeep Adventures -Tennis -Scuba Diving/Snorkel Excursions -Mountain Biking -Day Ferry Excursions to Lanai & Maui -Fishing Charters -Horseback Riding -Championship Golf -Sporting Clays -Hiking -Spa Treatments -Whale Watching (Dec.-May) -Hunting -Lei Making and Crafts From Mauka (mountain), to Makai (sea) activities on Lanai are endless. If you are here for a little R&R, it's the perfect place. If you are looking for some fun or are in search of an adventure, you will find it here. If you are looking for something different, there is plenty to try. If you want to stay on the rugged side of things, you can find numerous hiking and mountain biking areas. Horseback riding has also become a popular activity within the area. If you prefer the traditional sports, test your skills on any of the local championship golf courses or go play a few sets at area tennis courts. You can also take aim with any of the sporting clay and hunting areas locally available. For those of you who prefer to play in the water a bit, try scuba diving or snorkel excursions with Trilogy Ocean Sports. Spa treatments, day ferry excursions to Lanai, whale watching (Dec-May), and fishing charters are just a few of the activities that will give you the chance to "get your feet wet." For everyone else, there is a wide variety of Lei making, crafts, and much, much more. Places to visit: The Munro Trail : Named for George Munro, the New Zealand naturalist who planted Lanai's magnificent pines, this eight mile four wheel drive and hiking trail starts about a mile north of Lanai City and climbs in a southeasterly direction through impressive rain forests and deep canyons. It leads to the 3,370-foot Lanai Hale, the highest point on the island. On a clear day, all of Hawaii's islands, except Kaua'i and Ni'ihau, can be seen from this perch. Manele Bay & Hulopo'e Beach : A section of paved highway 440 known as Manele Road links Lanai City with picturesque Manele Bay, which has a small boat harbor with slips for local boats and tour boats from Maui. West of this port is Hulopo'e the island's most beautiful and safest swimming beach. It is the only picnic site on Lanai that has tables, barbecues, showers and rest rooms. The Bay and Hulopo'e beach are part of a marine conservancy district, which means outstanding snorkeling. Kaumalapau Harbor : Another paved stretch of Highway 440 which, like the one to Manele Bay, cuts through miles of what used to be pineapple fields and is now hay fields, connects Lanai City with this main island port. Pineapples, vehicles and freight are shipped out from this harbor. Other than this activity the simple harbor is of little interest to outsiders, but the dramatic views of the sea, high bluffs, and jagged cliffs on the stretch of the coast are worth the six-mile ride from town. Kaunolu Village : Also on the south coast, about midway between Kaumalapau Harbor and Hulopo'e Beach, are the remains of a once busy fishing community. Scattered on a bluff above the ocean, these ruins of more than 80 homes and other structures are said to be the most extensive and best preserved in the state. A national historical landmark, Kaunolu lies at the end of a rugged three-mile jeep trail that can be traveled only when the soil is dry. This area was a favored summertime playground of a great King of the Hawaiian Islands, King Kamehameha the Great. From the cliffs high above the sea at Kahekili's deep leap, Kamehameha's soldiers proved their courage by plunging more than 60 feet into the ocean. Garden of the Gods : This is a fascinating canyon of wind carved sand and lava formations whose colors change throughout the day. Legend has it, that the rock formations were created by the gods. It is said that the gods like making art and this is where they would make their sculptures. The gods would make strong winds to sculpt their rock art formations. That is why there is no grass or trees in the garden of the gods, just dirt and stones surround. Legend tells us, it is bad luck to tamper with the artwork of the gods. So be respectful when visiting this sacred place. Polihua Beach : Just beyond Garden of the Gods, this trail snakes for a few miles down to a two-mile long white sand beach. This secluded, dreamy stretch of white sand is not recommended for swimming because of strong currents, but noted for excellent surfing. Great for picnicking or just strolling along the beach. Shipwreck Beach : Highway 440, also known as Keomoku road, leads from town to Lanai's northeast or windward coast. This narrow and winding road climbs high over the middle of the island and offers are stunning views of both Moloka'i and Maui as well as the abandoned, rusting hulls of two fairly large ships that gave the four-mile beach of white sand its name. Most of the eight mile stretch of road is paved until you reach a dirt road, which takes you left, into the entrance of the beach. Keomoku Village : At the end of the paved portion of Highway 440 (Keomoku Road) a dirt road branches right along the coast. Following this road about six miles will bring you to the site of the Maunalei Sugar Company, (it's said that if one hikes far into the trees toward the mountains, you'll find the remainders of the train tracks that was used to haul sugar cane). Having failed in 1901, all but one of the decaying buildings were razed in the early 1970's. Left standing was the Hawaiian Church. Legend maintains that sacred stones, placed by the Gods, were moved to build this fishing village. As a result, the water turned brackish and forced the villagers to leave. Lanai Weekly events : Saturday Market in Dole park: A weekly gathering of local vendors, as they proudly present authentic fares. Local grown vegetables, potted plants and a cultural mix of Hawaiian, Japanese, and Filipino delicacies can be found. Local artists and craft makers may also display their works of art here. Lanai Theatre : First run movies are played from Friday through Tuesday evenings. Two shows at 6:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. Special events : Lanai Visiting Artist Program: Throughout the calendar year the island community and visitors have a unique opportunity to meet and mingle with world-famous virtuosos of literature, music, film, fine arts and the culinary world.

If you are already a registered Content Tycoon user: Hawaii (The big Island) - A City Guide Author: Nivedita Balamurugan Introduction There's no place on earth quite like this handful of sun-drenched, mid-Pacific islands. The Hawaii of South Seas literature and Hollywood films really does exist. Here one will find palm-fringed blue lagoons, lush rainforests, hidden gardens, cascading waterfalls, wild rivers running through rugged canyons, and soaring volcanoes. And those beaches -- gold, red, black, and even green sands caressed by endless surf - a perfect place for spending holidays. History After a series of battles that ended in 1795 and peaceful cession of the island of Kauai in 1810, the Hawaiian Islands were united for the first time under a single ruler who would become known as King Kamehameha the Great. He established the House of Kamehameha, a dynasty that ruled over the kingdom until 1872. One of the most important events during those years was the suppression of the Hawaii Catholic Church. The Newlands Resolution was passed on July 7, 1898, formally annexing Hawaii as a United States territory. In 1900, it was granted self-governance and retained Iolani Palace as the territorial capitol building. In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. On June 27 of that year, a plebiscite was held asking residents of Hawaii to vote on accepting the statehood bill. After statehood, Hawaii quickly became a modern state with a construction boom and rapidly growing economy. Place of interest It will not be a small list if anyone tries to make a list of all tourist attractions.
