Hello,
i have an 18 on the north shore. it's on the trailer. also someone put a supercat 20 on a trailer in their new vacant lot facing hana hwy. in haiku.
in general northshore conditions are rough in the afternoon, but the mornings are moderate. the rough conditions are fun if you like a challenge. the shape of the northshore is like a big glove. if a something happens, you get pushed towards shore. that can have its own set of problems depending on which shore, but at least you are not drifting out to sea 3000 miles from a continent.
the idea to have a paia yacht club is there, but it's work and finding a location is tough.
there are rentals in kaanapali as well as wailea. both rent hobiewaves i think. the cat beach in kihei moved up towards maalaea where the canoe beach is. the prindle beach in kaanapali has no more boats. it's private propery got developed. plus the kiawe trees got really big and the thorns are hell. some cat sailing is done at kanaha, but they use kites with no mast.
for real
