Maui sunset Kihei




Came over from Oahu today. was planning on staying a couple more days and check out Kailua/Diamond head, but after staying 4 nights in a Hostel that stinked (literally !) i decided to come over to Maui again. i wouldnt recomend the Backpackers/Plantation village to anyone but the most hardened travelling surfbums.. had to get up superearly today and when i arriwed in Maui i drove up to Hookipa and fell asleep on the beach. when i came to myself i noticed a slight breeze from NE. decided to go over and check out Kihei. it was windy there and i had a nice session on my 5.3. the waves on the Northshore looked really clean today and tommorrow there will be 5.3-4.7 wind..)

any sign of the whales coming back yet? not sure if this is too early in yet.

by the way, where are you staying for your time in Maui? I assume its affordable since you have been there for several months?

i havent seen any whales yet,but i think they start to appear around this time ? i have only been here for about 6 weeks,but yes i stay at a affordable place. its the Rainbows hostel in Paia. a classic for the budget conscious european windsurfers.quiet here this year.apparently tourism has gone down quite a bit on Maui due to the unstable financial situation.
