Answer 1

Kite Beach at Kahana Beach Park (west Maui). It is only a few minutes from Kahului Airport and no more than 45 minutes from the resort towns of Lahaina and Wailea. Kite Beach is one of the world’s best venues for kiteboarding and experiences more windy days than any other kiteboarding destination in the world. This is due to the valley between the West Maui Mountains (5788’) and Haleakala (10023’), which creates a venturi effect and funnels wind across kite beach.

Kite beach offers a variety of conditions to suit different riding levels. The NE tradewinds make Kite Beach a safe venue for beginners because the side onshore winds always bring the novices safely back to shore. Also, the sandy-bottom cove where beginners practice lies inside a protective reef. This reef keeps the ocean flat, which adds to the ease of learning. A little farther from shore the waves start to break at the reef, creating a great venue for intermediate and advanced kiteboarders.

Cancun is an outstanding starting up aspect...that is like a postcard and almost everybody speaks a minimum of a touch english. table crew and all the merchants communicate it fluently. the shrink back is that Cancun is amazingly touristy! To get an similar coastline, english and proximity to figuring out to purchase and nighttime-existence, attempt Playa del Carmen. that is south of Cancun and somewhat extra distant, besides the undeniable fact that it is not that way for lengthy, flow even as you may formerly all the large chain resorts take over!!
