Surfing on Maui
Maui is known as a world class surf spot and has remarkable breaks exclusive to the island. The fastest left break in the world called “Freight Trains” is at Ma’alaea harbor and one of the largest breaks in the world known internationally as “JAWS”, is in Pi’ahi on the North Shore. At least two surfing records were set on a 68 and 70 foot wave here. Jet skis and wave runners have tow the surfers out beyond th ebreak and tow them onto the wave.
If you’re not quite ready for that ultimate thrill, you can still ride waves on Maui down to about 6 inches. Ideal beginners spots line the South and West shores. Always remember, no matter how calm the ocean appears, never turn your back to it. Always take a buddy and catch up on the surf reports right here.
