"With consistent, northeastern trade winds that run along the shoreline and parallel to the wave direction, Maui offers some of the world’s best windsurfing. If you’re keen to try the sport for yourself, turn to the island’s oldest and largest water sports school, HST. Captained by legendary windsurfer Alan Cadiz, the outfitter teaches windsurfing for all skill levels, as well as kitesurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and more on Kanaha Beach near Kahului Airport. For something unique, opt for a lesson in hydrofoiling, an emerging sport that involves a handheld sail and SUP board."
