Trade wind riders
Windsurf Clinic - March 14th to 23th 2024
For intermediate windsurfers who want to push their limits on the mytic spots of Maui.
March and April is when the trade winds are at their peaks. During this clinic, you will be chasing the best possible wind and wave options around the island. With the variety of spots we have access to, we will always sail the safest and easiest spot for everyone to have fun and make the most out of the day.
Maui is one of my favorite spots in the world, if not my favorite since I made it home. The wind’s consistency is beyond imagination compared to anywhere I have been around the world. There is always a side of the island that offers more wind, and therefore it is possible to be on the water almost everyday. It is where the industry is evolving and it is where most of the best windsurfers in the world come for training and to push their limits.
March 14th to 23rd, 2024
