Ho'okipa Beach Park on Road to Hana

Posted by Picasa

Ho'okipa Beach Park is Maui's popular windsurfing and surfing beach. It is referred to as one of the best in the world. Die hard surfers usually arrive before sunrise to catch the best waves. Windsurfers most generally appear in the afternoon when the trade winds roll in.

Four years ago we drove by here on our way to the Garden of Eden and cars were double parked everywhere! The surfers regularly attract a huge crowd and put on quite a show. I do not know what the 'kite' part of a windsurfer's apparatus is called, but they are thrilling to watch all in varying vibrant colors.

This picture does not give the Ho'okipa Beach Park justice. At a different time of day, the place would be 'jammin'!!
