  • Kite Beach is located just a few minutes from the Kahului Airport, if you watch from the plane as you land, you may see kiters out
  • Kite Beach is nested in a bay with Kanaha Beach Park to the east and Kahului Harbor to the west
  • Ka’a Point aka Pro Pool is where you will see the best kiteboarders in the world, boosting big air and throwing down the latest tricks. Please stay out of this area unless you are setting up for a big jump or trick
  • The best place to view Pro Pool is Lessons Beach, (our meeting location)
  • There is no kiteboarding allowed in the enclosed swimming area adjacent to Pro Pool

 

The Wind:  

 

  • Kite Beach Maui the “kiteboarding capital of the world”, gets more kitable days than anywhere else on earth. The trade winds blow all year round mostly side shore, side on and occasionally side off.
  • The best months for consistent wind in the summer (May-Sept), with spring and fall close behind.
  •  In the winter season, (Nov-Feb) expect winds to be a little less consistent with possibilities of some days in a row without wind. In the winter, have a backup plan other than kiting.
  • The valley in Central Maui creates a venturi effect that create the best conditions for kiting in the world

 

The Water:

 

  • Hawaiian waters average 77 degrees in the wintertime to 82 degrees in the summertime. We love the temp of our water; it’s not too warm and not too cold. In summer you will most likely need only swim attire , in winter most people like to use a 1 mil wetsuit top or shorty wetsuit
  • In the beginner area the water is usually calm with just some small chop
  • Farther out, is the waves break , for the intermediate to advanced kiteboarders. In the winter the waves at the break can be quite large, for experts only

 

The Ammenities:

 

  • Not that much at Kite Beach, it’s pretty wild but we are working on it, so, hopefully soon!
  • Porta potties that are actually kept pretty clean at Lessons Beach
  • There are restrooms and outdoor showers at Kanaha Beach Park, just west of Kite Beach
  • We have a big jug of fresh drinking water in our Aqua Sports Maui van
  • Picnic tables and some out of the wind and sun spots for beach goers and spectators
  • Cash and Carry grocery store just down the road for a quick snack or drink
