For those that want to spend some time engaged in water sports in Hawaii, Kanaha on Maui’s North Shore is a great option.  Apart from the incredible trade winds that create world class conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding, the beaches are spectacular and offer outdoor showers, public restrooms, picnic tables and lightly populated beaches.

I would recommend this area for those beginners looking to enjoy some kitesurfing on their trip.  While this sport offers a steep learning curve, once you have picked up the basics it is well worth the effort and one can spend countless hours careening along the water enjoying the sport.  There are no shortage of outfits that offer private lessons and many are concentrated at Kite Beach.  Just keep an eye out for the vans and converted milk trucks.
