Out Front: Maui

“How lucky are we?” legendary Maui shaper, Matt Kinoshita, rhetorically asked Surfline in 2011.

“We have three waves that are known worldwide: Maalaea, Honolua Bay and Jaws, so our kids can make a name for themselves any way they want and pick their avenue to perform: Peahi for big waves; Lahaina Harbor and the Breakwall for tricks; open-faced waves on the Puamana side; rubbish in Hana…

Everyone has their own different ocean program, so they’ve all made names for themselves doing unique things.

That’s what Maui has to offer: beachbreaks and Jaws and everything in between.

There are certain spots where old-timers rule, certain spots that are crowded no matter what, but if you’re willing to drive around for a half-hour you’ll find somewhere that’s empty.”
