Activities:
Our guides will check weather and ocean conditions daily to ensure that we are maximizing the most of what Maui has to offer.

It really is a dream destination for every level of kiting and foiling.
(Tow) Foiling & Winging
By far the most common question – “Can I wing-foil” The answer is simple – “Absolutely” and we make it a point to make the most of all the conditions. In the unlikely event that the wind is light, tow foiling is offered for the more experienced foilers as well as beginner lessons for the new comers to the sport. We offer foil lessons where our instructors will take 2 guests at a time on the jetski to learn the techniques they need to progress to either paddle foiling, wing foiling, kite foiling or SUP foiling.
Downwinders
For the more advanced kiteboarders, wingers and SUP foil/parawingers – Downwinders a big part of what makes Maui special. When the conditions provide guided downwinders can be organized from a designated start points and finished on property – No extra shuttling needed!
This is included for all #TradewindAdventure guests to schedule as they like throughout the week.
