Hookipa yesterday.
My Sports Tracker app says that in 2025 I did a total of 320 downwind runs, all on the north shore: 204 with the wing (windsurfing), 114 Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling (mountain biking) and 2 with the Plume (kitesurfing). I don't keep track of my other foiling disciplines (FD assisted SUP foiling on waves, winging on waves and freeride pluming). The picture clearly shows the best months for downwinding in Maui: May through September.

Hookipa is around double overhead occasional bigger sets.
