Windsurf or Kitesurf Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii

The steady trade winds make Kailua Beach on Oahu one of the world's preeminent windsurfing and kitesurfing destinations. Robby Naish, first World Champion of windsurfing and Professional Windsurfers Association Hall of Fame inductee, grew up in Kailua. Kite surfers from around the world come here for holiday to kite side by side with Oahu locals. The standard Kailua kite is a 10m, though anything from a 7-17m may be used. Kailua is located on Oahu's windward coast, about 30 minutes from Honolulu and Waikiki. Kailua Beach is a crescent-shaped, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long and ranging between 50 and 150 feet (15 and 46 m) wide. The ocean bottom fronting the beach slopes gently to overhead depths without any coral heads.
