Ho'okipa

Advanced

Hoʻokipa Beach Park on Maui's north shore is world famous for windsurfing and kitesurfing but also has excellent surf for experts. Multiple breaks—from the right-hand Pavilions to the fast left at Lanes—offer powerful waves over a shallow reef, and the trades can quickly turn the lineup into a challenging windswept arena. Beginners should stay on the sand and watch, as currents and urchins pose real dangers.
