Friends ask me if they will be able to find a spot to surf or SUP on the Island if their level is not amazing and my answer is yes, there’s always be an Option B. I think it’s a cliché that the Hawaiian Islands are only to be enjoyed by expert level people with lots of experience.
There is no need to be a pro surfer to enjoy the waves on Maui; there are spots right across the spectrum. But if indeed you are one of those advanced surfers, you obviously will also have the chance to get stuck into some amazing waves. Depending on the swell direction, some places will be exposed to more swell while other beaches are more sheltered, allowing you to tour around beautiful coves on your inflatable or learn how to surf in tiny smooth waves. Don’t think that Maui is only for the wealthy, I’m going to share a few tips with you that will help save a buck or two and put Hawaii comfortably back in the realm of realistic travel.
