Lots of islands versus one island? Sorry, I have yet to get to Tahiti so cannot compare. Maui was fun with strong NE trades in summer, but not much in the way of waves most days I was there years ago, riding at Kanaha Park, just twintip riding mostly, but that may have changed with foiling etc.
Local Beach: Naska Beach - Kanaha - Maui, HI USA Waipuliani Park - Kihei - Maui, HI USA South Point - Hawaii, HI USA A-Bay - Hawaii, HI USA
Favorite Beaches: _ Kanaha - Maui, HI Kihei - Maui, HI South Point - Hawaii Island Kite Beach - Cabarete, Dominican Republic Tableview - Cape Town, South Africa
Maui has good trade winds, sunshine, and turquoise water most of the year. The main spot at Kanaha offers a wide sandy white beach while an additional spot, Kihei, provides a grassy lawn. Mind you late Jan - early March is the off season unless a weather system spins up.
Most people are pretty happy to kite on Maui as its good for waves, twin tips, and foiling. (Its not really good for wakestyle)
Hi guys. I'm new here. I will be glad to chat with you. If I were choosing between Tahiti and Maui, I would choose Maui, at least because I was there and there are other islands nearby. Why is there a choice only between these islands?
