About Maui

Maui's main kite beach sits just 10 minutes from Ogg Airport, with accommodation in Pa'ia or Kahului within 15 minutes. Strong, steady winds blow almost daily during May through August, generating consistent wave conditions. Warm water requires no wetsuit, and the laid-back beach atmosphere mixes welcoming locals with visiting kiters. Some water users share the break, and numerous land-based activities—hiking, paragliding, diving—fill calm days. The summer season delivers reliable 20–30 knot winds in an island paradise setting.
