The Hawaiian Islands are a volcanic archipelago made up of eight main islands, several atolls, and numerous islets that stretch across the North Pacific from Midway to “The Big Island” of Hawaii. The main islands consist of Hawaii, Maui, Lanai, Oahu, Kahoolawe, Molokai, Kauai, Niihau.
Hawaii is the cradle of surfing, and watersports like windsurfing, kitesurfing, stand up paddle, body boarding… it’s a magical place every surfer should go there at least once in their life. When Captain James Cook discovered Hawaii in 1778, 2,000 years after the first Polynesian visitors, he was amazed by the natives’ abilities to ride the waves.
The island of Maui has some good waves on the south coast, but is known for perfect tubing at Honolua Bay, Windsurfing at Hookipa Beach, Kitesurfing at Kanaha Beach and especially Big wave riding in tow-in surf on the famous spot of Jaws “Peʻahi”, located on the north coast. South Maui is not as exposed to swells as the other islands. Lahaina is the best place to learn to surf and surf the southern swells in the summer.
