There is no shortage of boards at the surf schools.
One of the few places in The Cove area that has an actual shop (as opposed to just a
van stacked with boards) is Big Kahuna Adventures (1913 S. Kihei Rd., 808/875-6395,
www.bigkahunaadventures.com , 7:30am-7pm Mon.-Sat., 7:30am-5pm Sun.) inside Kihei

875-0006, www.surfshackmaui.com , 7:30am-3pm daily) across the street from The Cove
