Known to many as the birthplace of big wave surfing, Hawaii attracts professional surfers from all over the globe to take on the big swells of winter. Many surfing competitions are held off the shores of Hawaii, and a few of its surfing spots are suggested for professionals only.

Kite Surfing

Kite surfing is another form of this popular pastime. The use of a kite adds extra power for the surfer, and allows them to perform acrobatics in the air.

Windsurfing

Located in Maui is the windsurfing capital of the world, and this is another popular variation on surfing. A combination of surfing and sailing, windsurfing uses a sail to propel sailors. Ho’okipa Beach is a world-renowned location for both kite surfers and windsurfers alike because of its strong winds and ideal waves.
