Hookipa beach is one of the most famous windsurfing spots in the world. Typical afternoon conditions are ideal for expert windsurfers. In the winter months the waves can reach 30 feet.
Hookipa beach is the site of two world championship windsurfing competitions. The destructive tsunami of April Fools Day, 1946, completely altered the natural features of the park. Many of the hau trees and most of the wide sand beach were lost, and the high seawall that now borders the seaward edge of the park was constructed to prevent further damage.
Hookipa is recommended for expert windsurfers only, due to the often dangerous conditions. This beach is the site of two world championship competitions.
Contemporary surfing got started on Maui at Hookipa in the early 1930s. In the 1970's windsurfing took off and Hookipia was a natural spot. Today, the beach is also popular with the new sport of kitesurfing.
