Maui, Hawaii, Ho‘okipa Windsurfers in the Distance

---

Ho‘okipa is a beach on Maui which is one of the best windsurfing areas in the world. It features well-shaped waves breaking over a series of reefs plus strong winds — these make it perfect for windsurfing. As a result, a number of competitions are held here bringing the best windsurfers in the world together here. Additionally, board and body surfers will also join in the fun, being careful to not get in each other's way. If you want to catch these guys and gals photographically, be sure to bring your long zoom and/or telephoto lenses. Your iPhone, even the most recent, won't cut it (well, maybe if you're in a boat).
