Windsurfing Hookipa Maui, it's firing 1/18/2024. Kona Conditions, World Class Windsurfers Ripping.

Hookipa Maui, conditions were perfect huge surf, off-shore winds. I was driving home from Wailea office, I live in Haiku. I love days like this I had to pull off the road and enjoy the action. It was a expert day only with some of the best windsurfers in the world lighting up the surf. Maui's Northshore is home to world class windsurfers, Jaws chargers, and hot bed of surfing talent, number of them are on the world tour this year. While I have been surfing Hookipa for 50 years, my boys grew up surfing Hookipa, and now my granddaughters are charging the surf, pretty cool. Hookipa is above my pay grade to windsurf, I do enjoy windsurfing at Kanaha Beach right off the airport. You will also find foiling is a new rage in the water these days, and Kite surfing is still very popular. It's a good life on Maui's Northshore, I love morning walks on the beach with my wife and dogs. Northshore is a tight community, people from all over the world. If you have questions about real estate on Maui, I been selling homes and condos island wide. I work for Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers, our office is in the Shops at Wailea, we do have an office in Makawao Town. Hope you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for visiting, You live in a beautiful place.

How's the windsurfing in Sardina? I have been to Paros Island and tried sailing in some light winds. I was in Southern Italy last May. I love Italy.

Maui north and konas ... no ka oi

[@andreasmeerkamp8627]

Very nice video. But the first rider at 1:06 doesn't looks like using Kona winds.

[@nickensmaui]

Good point!

Good action in the Kona winds, just wondering what the windsurfers are doing that aren't pro's

[@nickensmaui]

Most of these guys compete. Winds were strong and good size waves, windsurfers pick their days, much like surfing.

[@gatesurfer]

The first ride was tradewind direction, not Kona conditions.

[@nickensmaui]

We had a lot of Kona Winds, but I could have mixed it up.

[@michaelthomas366]

Where's all the people?

[@nickensmaui]

Was big and windy

[@gatesurfer]

Very few people have the skills to ride waves like this. Sailing Kona’s you have to sail port tack and you don’t get much practice at that, especially on big waves. To us who live in Hawaii, this actually looks like a lot of people. Only south shore on Diamond Head on Oahu do you get port tack on a trade wind, and it’s very crowded with surfers, even on windy days. Only the longtime sailors go there these days. And besides, Maui is still suffering the impact of the fire last October. Tourism in general is down. Can’t expect things to be like days of yore.

@@gatesurfer I am a late bloomer with windsurfing. I surf Hookipa, but windsurfing is above my pay grade. Kanaha works.
