Ikitesurf's current conditions on Maui:
If I could only use one website for wind information it would be Ikitesurf. As a hard core kite boarder or a casual kite boarder, iktitesurf.com might be the most used web page for planning your ideal life. You will want to get the app for your phone because they have real time wind conditions that let you know it is time to drop what you are doing and go kite boarding!.
