Budget Maui

[dancrane]

I'm going to Maui from Sept 25 - Oct 23. It looks like the wind will be 20-23 mph there (based upon Kanaha next door last year).

I haven't been there in four years, and don't anticipate going there frequently. So... my kite's too big - Ozone Instinct 15.

I thought I'd try to find a consignment shop there, and sell the kite when I leave. Is there a consignment or used gear shop in Kahului? The kite shops would like to sell me lessons, but I've had eight hours of lessons at Kite Beach. I'd like to just get some time on my board, smooth out my jibes and get into jumping a little. I don't have a big budget for this, and I'm confident I can go upwind OK on a cheap C kite.

Also... does anybody here agree or disagree that iWindsurf "20 mph" at Kanaha is a lot stronger than "20 mph" at Belmont Shores?

Thanks/Dan
