windsurfing, the inventive marriage of sailing and surfing, has found the perfect honeymoon spot on Maui. With its ideal combination of strong trade winds and consistent surf, the island is one of the world’s best windsurfing destinations.
While here, you can visit the most-photographed windsurfing site on the planet,
in Pā‘ia, where top pros sail almost every day. However, Ho‘okipa Beach Park’s rip currents, exposed reefs and jagged lava rock are not for the novice windsurfer.
Instead, recreational sailors can head to
behind the Kahului Airport. Here, windsurfers of all levels and ages come to enjoy the sport.
There are several great windsurf schools at Kanahā Beach and a bunch of stores in Kahului that’ll help you gear up for the activity.
