County Regulates Kite Instruction
COUNTY REGULATES KITE INSTRUCTION
All Kitebording instruction on Maui is regulated by the Maui County Parks Dept. Only Permitted schools are allowed to teach Kiteboarding. Schools must apply for permits through a strict process that ensures legitimate credentials, insurance and liability coverage, and must adhere to specific rules of operation. All Permitted Kiteboarding Schools must display their County permit prominently in their vehicle.

You can report any illegal kiteboarding instructors to the Maui County Parks Dept or the Park Rangers.

Ka’a Point – Swim Zone
Please do not kite close to Swimmers at Ka’a Point. There is also a designated swim zone outside the rock pool marked by buoys. Never kite over the heads of bystanders or swimmers. If it is crowded, please launch somewhere else. This issue may ultimately cause the closure of this beach to kiteboarders.
