http://www.discounthawaiicarrental.com/ This is a good site for getting a deal on car rentals anywhere in Hawaii. Just give them your dates and they will price it out with all the car companies and send you back the best rate. I really like Hawaiian Island Board shop. They will give you the gear and...

And some band aids!!!

If you are going with your family the best place to stay is in Kihei. 3 long beachs with mostly condos which are great for the family and you can load up at Costco and BBQ etc. Best sailing is on the north shore and it is a 30 minute drive. North shore is windy and not really family orientated. I ha...

Namoo: I got engaged in Hawaii 35 years ago and have been going back ever since. My wife does not sail either but she is so happy there that I would not rock the boat by taking her to some 3rd world country and making her sleep with the roaches etc... Know when to hold them and know when to fold the...

Kus you are more than welcome to visit with us. I want to enjoy some nice warm sailing instead of that freezing cold sandblasting you get on the coast. The standing waves on the river at the Wall offer some great fun and they are even better in a pair of board shorts that a full on Steamer. See you ...

I am planning a trip to Hood River the first week of July and need a roomy to share a Condo with. Nice Condo on Front street,1 block from downtown shops and bars. 5 star. 2 sharing should be $400.00 each for 7 days. 3 or more we can get a house with a hot tub for $300 each. I know all the good saili...

Dunkin guy: Did you sail the Starboard quad?

Kus: Glad to hear that your gear was found. I will bring it home with me. The waves and surf in Maui are some of the biggest in the world and the warm water and sun give people a false sense of security sometimes. When the surf flags are up on the beach it is time to sail cautiously and smartly. I k...

I use this model every week to plan my recreation activities. It really helps save time and energy ( gas and otherwise) when you know when and where to go. Please let us continue to use your information for clean,fun, recreational sports.

Best place to learn is Kanaha Beach park ( go through the rental car zone behind the airport and turn right along the beach road and go to the last parking lot and rigging area) You can touch the bottom almost out to the wave break. Good sandy conditions. You should be able to find some cheap accomo...

The weather all over has been off. Maui this time of the year is usually a lock for wind. Usually it is great for March and April and gets better into the summer. I was there in April this year and got 50% of the sailing I would normally get. Usually you hope the wind turns off for a day or two to g...

North West takes Windsurfing gear to Maui and it only cost me $80.00 each way. You fly Horizon to Seatle and then direct to Maui.
West jet and Air Canada don't take the gear still!!!

Brian Hinde has been shaping boards in Maui and then the Gorge for 25+ years. His tri fin, recessed tail,tri teared bottom for early planeing, closed cell foam and carbon baked boards are years ahead of the curve. They bump & jump and are bomb proof. A 8'2" board planes up like a 8'6"....

Wow! What a new idea!! I have been riding Open Ocean tri fins for 10 years and just loving them. Bump and jump and when the fins are installed at the right angles you get extra lift with no drag. They are hard to spin out and turn quickly.

Grant: Thanks for the notice, I'll be in Maui hopefully sailing some waves. I will tip a pint on April 2nd to remember John! Have a good party!
Cheers!
