Glad you finally made it. How did you like upcountry Maui. Where was the farm? If you like hiking, also check out the trails in PoliPoli area. some of them have really nice views and the ride up the...

What they said. I live in Maui where there is a lot of windsurfing and kitesurfing. I know a lot of old time windsurfers who swear that kitesurfing is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And...

Haiku is a nice area. It rains more than a lot of areas of the island, but I would guess not nearly as much as hanalei. It is very pretty and green. I really like the feel of Haiku and upcountry much...

There is a bus system, but definitely not the quickest or most efficient way to get around. But possible. Not sure about disc golf course in west maui, but there is a nice one with killer views on...

Oh, and by the way, the trades blow most of summer, but not in lahaina. The further north you go from Lahaina, the more wind you will have. Bottom line if you get a place in Lahaina in summer, it...

I'll keep my eyes out for Ohana or part time work on west side. summer is pretty busy time for tourists and there are plenty of tourist oriented businesses on west side. I would think it shouldn't be...

Crampedon's advice re places to live is right on. Tourists go to Kihei and west maui, but definitely a transient feel for living full time. Areas he mentioned way better for full time living. Re...

Just noticed BS720's post. That is park he's talking about. There's a parking lot which typically fills up leaving parking across highway.

Laniapoko Warm water, no wind, and small waves. mello surf spot. plenty of SUP in area.

Nice video. I particuarly like the song choice. Whos' it by?

Agree with ProhoHater. And yes, I was going to mention about the pig hunting. You will need to meet some upcountry portugese(portagee) if moving to maui. And yes Portugese are from western europe,...

That is a really complicated question. I do think the internet is skewing your perception. There is a certain contingent of Hawaiians(sovereignty movement folks) that may have issues with the haoles....

Maui has a lot of golf courses. I only golf about twice a year, so don't know a ton about it. However, I think Maui is a Golf destination for a lot of people. The luxo courses are in Wailea, Makena...

I live in Maui so am pretty familiar with Launiopoko. A perfect place to learn. In summer time, it catches south swells. If it's big, you can just hang on inside while learning. If not much swell,...

If you're talking summer, that is a busy season. Lot's of families visiting. The jobs are tourist related. Restaurant's, hotels, beach activities, etc. Also, downhill biking companies, surf shops,...

I am mostly a lurker here, but have also lived in Maui for 25 years. Kula. I also have a Maui bias. If you're talking summer, you're looking at south shore swells. Also, the windsurfing/kitesurfing...

I am mostly a lurker, but have a 3BR condo in Kimball Junction area of Park City. it's VRBO 197702. If you do stay in PC, I would recommend Kimball area as it's close to I-80 and therefore closer to...

So weather geeks, the last several runs of GFS show major storminess for Utah from 10-15 days out. I know that's long ways out. The Canadian ensemble forecasts found on Environment Canada website...

Last few runs of GFS are showing some decent storms 10-15 days out. I know that's a long ways out, but I prefer to believe in them.

That's good news. Where do you find the other models to look at? I'd prefer not to look at models that are saying things I don't want to hear. At least for now.

I know I'm getting obsessive with my happiness rising or falling on what the latest GFS model is doing. The 00z and 06Z suck out past next week. Want to build huge ridge over western US. But 12Zlets...

The last 2 runs of GFS, including 00z for 11-23 are irritating. Trends are going in wrong direction. Hopefully subsequent runs get Utah whacked again. On latest runs, Whistler looks to be slammed....

I have trip coming up Dec. 6 and have looked at same GFS. The 18Z didn't look as nice as 12Z past Dec. 4, but that's pretty far out. I will hope and pray and chant "I think it can, I think it can"...

I've lived in Maui for 20 yrs, so I can't help, but know a fair amt about the Island. Where to stay and go depend on what you like. Altho Lahaina is a nice tourist town, West Maui (Kaanapali,...

I am mostly a lurker, but saw the post from stormrider re Barga. I thought I was the only one who had stayed there. We stayed in a house above the town. I highly recommend Barga as a chill place....

Just be aware that there are really no cruises/snorkel tours from Hana. About the only organized tourist activity that I'm aware of from Hana is horseback riding. You are about a 2 hour drive from...

Another subject I actually know something about. I am a self employed lawyer in Maui. Not the same as a ski town, but has many similarities I would imagine. I worked for firms for 10 years before...

Sounds like you're committed to staying in Hana. More advice. Costco has cheap boogie boards. Buy a couple and boogie board Koki and Hamoa beaches. Koki in particular is good for BB. There's some...

I am mostly a lurker, but live in Maui, so figured I should reply. Hana is great, but as noted, you are pretty much stuck in that area. It is extremely lush and wet. It's great, but 10 days is a long...

The big tourist areas for accomodations are South side (Kihei and Wailea) and west side(Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kahana, napili, kapalua). If you look at a map of Maui, the west side is the head. Traffic...

I have lived in Maui for 20 years. Know it very well. If you'll give me some info on what you like to do, and the kind of places you like to stay, I can give you more info and suggestions. Steve

Red Baron, any particular reason you think it might get stormy again after 12-10. I'm interested b/c I get there the 14th for a week.
