When trade winds reverse to southerly, called "Kona winds", the south is usually rideable. The south side has more shallow areas with reef heads, so ask before going out.

Great video! Chock full of good information from beginning to end. Perfect.

@larrycollar1322 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. Useful info. Came to Maui last year on vacation with friends but did not bring any wing gear. That was a mistake. Couldn’t find anyone at that time willing to rent wing gear without lessons because of liability issues. Seemed odd since there were efoil rentals all over the place but ok. Walked along Kanaha and enjoyed watching a few very talented wingers.

That's too bad. I was there December 2022 and rented gear. Hi Tech and Second Wind had rentals. There's a few that rent. Next time bring the wings and foil but rent a board.

@larrycollar1322 6 месяцев назад

@@aquaman1 Yep. Wings, foil, mast and maybe a blowup board. A few of those are starting to appear in the resale market. Couldn’t justify paying full price for something I will only use while on vacation.

Nice time of year. A mix of consistent summer winds and hopefully north swells. You can't go wrong on Maui, even when there's no wind.

People windsurfed there for years but didn't tell anyone. it was also used for testing new gear in secret.

@aquaman1 20 дней назад

Didn't know that. Makes sense.

Why didn't the windsurf schools teach there?

All harbors users need to come to shore immediately if there is a barge entering or exiting the harbor.

@salvino777 4 месяца назад

Are you allowed to wing before 11:00? I seem to recall that kiting was only allowed after11:00. Now winging is new and I haven’t heard if that restriction applies. Thanks for nice info.

@scp8412 Месяц назад

Great info! At what tide can you cross the reef with a foil when headed to ride the swell?

@aquaman1 Месяц назад

Any tide level at Ka'a if you stay in the slot. The other sites need better tide height.

@chriscumming5232 6 месяцев назад

In the harbor is there a tide level that’s too low for foiling? Any areas to look out for when the tide is low?

@aquaman1 6 месяцев назад

It's not tide dependant on the Harbor; however, there are some shallow areas if you drift too far downwind. You can see these areas on Google Earth. If you are learning to stay upwind then it's best to turn back at the red marker. This will help you avoid those shallower areas, make it back to the sandy areas and avoid any ships that may come in.

@IRWE905 5 месяцев назад

There is a Morning No Kite Time Daily when the Canoes go out. Does the same Rule apply to Wingers?

@aquaman1 5 месяцев назад

There's an 11am not kite rule on the ocean. This is because the spear fishing guys are out. No sailing when they are fishing or anytime before 11am. The winds don't build until 11am anyway. I don't believe they fish in the Harbor so it shouldn't be an issue.

@Stanton_High 6 месяцев назад

Forgot to include how to get there and get a job so I can wing every day. Cmon bruh

@aquaman1 6 месяцев назад

Every other winger there has their own story of how they made the move. That would be a good video to interview people on the beach. As a Canadian, moving there to work is next to impossible.

@clairelamy1013 6 месяцев назад

nothing at Sprecks or Ho’okipa ?

@aquaman1 6 месяцев назад

99% of the wingers will be at these locations. There's other places upwind but you need to be advances and know the tides, shallow spots, currents, etc. Winds and weather are better closer to the valley. In summer months the advanced riders head up the coast to run downwind.
