Love this shop! It's hard to find a great shop for any sport or hobby, but this place is the real deal. I did a lot of shopping online for my first full kiteboarding kit: Kite, bar/lines, harness, safety vest, board, travel bag... Second Wind had the best prices and comes with local service if you need it. Knowledgeable staff, who actually get out and use the equipment along with great prices and no high pressure sales. Now that I'm getting ready to move back to the mainland, they even gave me an option to help out with shipping my equipment.
Used sporting good stores can be hit or miss. Most are just glorified pawn/thrift shops. Second Wind staff actually know more about the local conditions, have a better knowledge base in general and have better service for the sport than the regular shops in town! Second Wind has been a total win for me! Definitely worth your time to drop by. :)

At Second Wind Maui the owner Kevin is a pleasure to deal with and extremely knowledgeable about local wind and wave conditions. He always put my needs first by checking weather forecasts daily and advising which days were the best to rent gear. I rented a surfboard for 2 days and kiteboarding equipment for 2 days. The gear was new and in excellent condition. Even better Kevin’s store is less than 5 minutes from the beach, it couldn’t be more convenient if you need to rent additional equipment. Thank you for several magical days on the water Kevin, look forward to renting from you on my next trip to Maui.

On my recent trip to Maui I used Second Wind to rent my Wing Foiling gear for a few days during my one week trip. Kevin & Jay were very informative and provided exactly the right set-up for my skills and despite some iffy winter wind conditions, I enjoyed two great days of foiling during my one week trip. I'm so glad I didn't bother dragging my gear through the airports and I can't wait to get back to Maui!!

After talking to someone very helpful (on the phone) named Kevin, My boyfriend went there straight to buy a $3K kite yesterday and the sales guy that was there at the time (12/31 - afternoon) was extremely condescending and treated him like an idiot and told him that he was probably not experienced enough to buy it. He told him to go Ski instead. What an idiot! Very disappointing!

When we dinged part of the Thule roof rack on our rental, this place saved our hides! Excellent prices (cheaper than anywhere online I could find!). The kindest guy let us borrow the tools to switch out our parts, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Kevin was amazing! I mistakenly helped a friend move a small piece of furniture on my yakima racks and found one of my towers had moved and the racks were compromised...about to fall off actually. Kevin stepped up big time and spent a huge amount of time working on my racks and making sure they were reinstalled correctly. Thanks Kevin!!

Have rented here many times over the years. This past week the rental board and Ezzy sail was good but the harness lines were grossly beyond disrepair - they were hanging by a thread. This caused them to swing/bounce wildly around making it difficult to sail. They should have been replaced seasons ago.

This is my go to place to get equipment, I’ve been coming here since the early 1990s. Very knowledgeable and prices are great.
