Anyone know what the best kite school in Maui is? I know REAL and Dare2Fly are great, but wondering who operates the top school in Maui. My wife and her friend are heading over in 2 weeks. Thanks for the help!

Thumb's Up

I second that Jim. David is a great guy and runs a very organized and safe school.

I suggest finding out which schools are more willing to reschedule the lesson if the wind is too strong/light. Also, what is their policy on refunds due to botched weather? I know of one major school (not in Maui) which only gives store credit if the lesson is cancelled.

a few years back I took lessons from this school... Paul Franco was my instructor... great kiter and a natural teacher... would definitely recommend him... he was still teaching for them when we were there last december... dont know much about their other instructors though.

Agree with this one too...

they use really short lines (see pic) and get folks out on the water fairly quickly... have heard rave reviews... plus Dave and Suzie are great!
