Looking for your Maui suggestions!
I’m travelling to Maui in February and am on the hunt for the best swimming a surfing experience so I’m collecting some research here so that I know where the best beginner/intermediate waves are. I’m going to be filming the experience too and uploading it to my YouTube Channel so if any businesses want to feature drop me an e-mail or a tweet.
Living in the Canadian Prairies (previously surfing some beautiful but cold spots on the East Coast of England for many years) I don’t get much surfing in at the moment so I’m hoping for fun waves (nothing too critical) and I will be bringing plenty of Aloha along with me (i.e. no dropping in and no wave hogging).

Launiupoko Beach
Suggested one of the sites above as a good spot for beginners, families with some manageable waves that should be just up my street – https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Launiupoko+Beach+Park/@20.8422029,-156.6530554,294m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x4153c434093ffdf1!6m1!1e1
Launiupoko Beach Report – http://swell.willyweather.com/hi/maui/launiupoko-beach.html
“Launiupoko is perfect. There’s always a consistent wave there. It all depends too. We just got our first big N swell and waves were perfect chest high at Launiupoko.”
