From the technological advances of windsurfing, paragliding and wakeboarding comes a challenging water sport that some people call KITEBOARDING and others call KITESURFING . No matter what you call it, this is an extreme sport that takes wind, guts, the right equipment, and a bit of trial and error.
If you’re interested in learning the sport, kiteboarding schools on the island are happy to provide instruction. If you prefer just to watch, popular kitesurfing sites include the west end of Kanahā Beach Park, near the Kahului Airport, Kīhei beaches and west side areas above Lahaina.
