About Kihei Beach

Kihei Beach on Maui's south shore combines flat to small-chop water with moderate trade winds, making it an accessible spot for beginner and early intermediate riders. The reef and beach launch options allow entry strategy flexibility based on daily conditions. Water temperature stays warm year-round, reducing the need for thick wetsuits. The relatively sheltered lagoon area keeps sessions manageable. This location benefits from Maui's consistent wind patterns and warm conditions.
