The Maui Kiteboarding Association created "To promote safe and responsible kiteboarding and protect the access of kiteboarders to public beaches and waters."

Kiteboarding Threatened
on Maui's North Shore
MKA reminds members to encourage all north shore riders to stay out of upper Kanaha, and do not launch at Sprecks beach, Stable Road, Camp One, Baldwin, Paia Bay or Hookipa. These beaches are off limits to kiters.

NO DOWNWINDERS FROM SUGAR COVE
Do not launch from Sugar Cove if you intend on doing a Downwinder, there have been repeated complaints from ATC for violations of the NoFly Zone from this beach.
Respect the flight-path !

MKA members are now encouraged to join the MKC,
Maui Kitesurfing Community to be covered by the FAA waiver on Maui's North Shore.
