Aloha Maui Windsurfing

What an AWC can do for you?

There’s nothing worse than fighting badly tuned equipment when you’re trying to learn something new. We will make sure firstly that you are comfortable on your windsurfer before you head out on the water as well as supply you with the right information to smooth out the windsurfing learning curve to make it a less bumpy ride!

We supply our guests with the best technical advice about equipment, fine tuning the gear to suit the conditions and quick tips to improve individual skill levels.

From Improver to Experts

We’re able to work with all skill levels, in one day by forming small groups with guests with common goals as well as working with everyone individually to suit their personal needs.


THE DYNAMIC DUO

Maui is one of the best places in the world to advance your personal windsurfing skills while taking in the most gorgeous island setting on earth. Add two leading coaches into the mix and you’re on your way to a perfect windsurfing holiday.

What others have to say about the clinics…..

I attended the Aloha Clinic with Matt Pritchard & Shawna Cropas. It was excellent: I’ve never had things presented the way they did it, & I feel that they will have more influence on how I sail in the future.
Nancy Cameron Canada
Bit by bit, you chipped away the “bad paint” and offered us a ” new coat”. Only when it was finished could we see how much better it felt and looked. The video instruction with painful attention to details was indispensible.
Dr.Krystyna Ostrowska Canada
Awesome time! I learned the fundamentals of wave riding, bottom turns and forward loops. Now I have some core skills to build off of when I’m riding on my own.
Enrico Caso New York, NY

I can’t believe how much my windsurfing skills have improved. Not only can I feel my body reacting differently to both high and light wind conditions, but I now understand what is happening. The clinic’s combination of dry land drills, sailing with us and reviewing videos is fantastic. Matt and Shawna make a dynamic duo of different but clear and exciting teaching that gently nudges the student away from old bad habits and toward some serious sailing skills

You guys have gotten Genevieve practicing her stance in the kitchen, I could not be happier that she got out there, went windsurfing and had a blast. I think she was starting to wonder how many hours she could lie on the beach and look pretty, then caught one dry land training session and needed to dive in.
Jim and Genevieve Lake Tahoe, California
Shawna and Matt, I just want to thank you for helping Mary Jo during the Aloha clinic. She said it was the most fun that she has had sailing in Maui which means we will get to go back! You have renewed her enthusiasm for the sport and she is anxious to get back on her board. It was a great clinic!
