Fun Fun Fun!!!!! - Well considering this is a tourist spot, it was all the fun in the world... We actually went all over the north part of the island and couldnt find a spot but know a guy that works a hotel and told us to use his boards, so we did and had a killer time. Nice people, fun, "little lefts" and sun pounding on us with great weather. All in al it was a great day but could have been a bit bigger!

slow but fairly consistent - watch for surf schools. the best part is that the locals are friendly. Not the case most of the other spots in Maui.
