Quick Facts

History & Context

Maui Surf Maui is the world mecca for a wonderful span of watersports. Allow me to elaborate on two local favorites; surfing and windsurfing. Ocean lovers from around the globe pursue these naturally powered paastimes energized by Maui's ideal tradewinds, surf, sun, and pure enthusiasm. It's estimated that over 17 million people around the globe surf on a regular basis. Proportionately, most are from the United States and Australia. Seventeen million shining happy people can't be all wrong. Centuries ago, ancient Hawaiians held surf competitions and, much like today, the best athletes were hailed as great warriors, heroes and celebrities. It is humbling to know that surfing has been around long before any of us where born, while windsurfing, on the other hand, is a fairly new sport, not having been invented until 1967 by two Californias; Hoyle Schweitzer and Jim Drake.
