Maui, Hawaii, Ho‘okipa Windsurfer End of Day

---

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. Ah, the day has ended for this wind surfer. He looks like he hates to leave so he lingers, watching his buddies fly over the waves recalling how he was out there just moments ago.
