Action Sports Maui is a full service windsurfing school, located at Kanaha Beach on Maui's north shore.
This is an introduction to short-board sailing lesson covering the basics. The "Shortboard Basics" class includes two hours of instruction on floaty transition boards, or shorter bump & jump type gear. This course is great for people with longboard experience who want to get into sailing stronger winds on smaller gear. Whether you live on Maui, or are just visiting, this course allows you to take full advantage of the island's strong trade winds. Allow yourself a few extra days to accommodate variable weather conditions. In this class we cover; Short-board Basics, Board trim, beach-starts, waterstart tips, how to use the harness, getting into the footstraps, and how to do some basic short-board turns and maybe some basic intro to some jibing. This course can also be a great refresher class for people just getting back into the sport after an extended absence. This class can be tailored to the needs of the individual student. Gear not included. Waterstart class requires specialized equipment. Bring your own short-board or transition board, or you can rent your gear at our store from $45/day, and practice after your lesson.
Meet at Kanaha Beach Park on the north shore, behind the Kahului Airport. All Equipment is supplied. Small class sizes give the student the maximum attention.
