Epic.

BTW, to those who have been to Maui, are these the normal wavesailing conditions over there? Because I've been seeing a lot of videos lately where it's just float and ride - no-one is planing except on the wave. Doesn't look very appealing, TBH.

Maui's summer (our winter) blows pretty much all the time. Nor-east trades with most days on 5.3/5.0 down to 4.0.
Check FOK = Friends of Kanaha. Daily wind reports and conditions. Summer is usually wind swell but the odd swell pops up.
Awesome sailing with many areas to try out. Kanaha, Sprecks and Hookipa on the north shore and Kihei and other spots on the south shore. Go, you wont regret it.

Is August still good? From what I've heard in June wind is guaranteed, then it gets weaker and weaker. Maybe next year...

It is normally (very) windy every day in August. There is usually no ground swell as such, just wind swell that offers nice jumping conditions but not a lot in the way of wave riding, but you can be lucky.

It's tons of fun - GO!

Why does the old gear look faster than the new stuff?

Ground swell for sure! It doesn't look like that in August. The groundswell comes in from the Northwest with a long period, whereas the summer windswell just rolls in closely spaced with the wind from the ENE.

I hate to say it and start something but windsurfing is much better to look at than kiting!

Yeah, that's what I thought. So when is the best time for good wind AND ground swell in Maui? Spring and Autumn?

I agree. Sailing down a face of a wave throw in a few bottom turns then maybe a loop.You cannot match that on a kite. Windsurfing is so much cooler.
