On this blog, you'll find a daily analysis of the forecast of the surf, windsurf, kitesurf, and foiling conditions in Maui. We provide Maui surf guides or a surf, SUP, SUP foil, prone foil, or windfoil lesson. I'm Cammar. I am an engineer and I love surfing. I've been teaching water sports since 2001.
