Maui is Number 7 Surf Trip Under $2000 in Transworld Surf

In the May 2007 issue of Transworld Surf, which I’m finally getting around to reading (yeah it’s only March) has it’s cover story being the “10 Best Surf Trips under $2000.” All trips are based out of California and theres a lot of good spots to choose from.

You would think, even from Cali, Hawaii would have made more than 1 spot on the list. Then again, you have to give other surf spots around the North America/South America region their due. Plus rents on the North Shore alone might run a grand in the winter months.

But, there is one Hawaii surf destination that has made the list. Maui waui! That’s right, from So Cal you can make the trek for a week of surfing on the shores of Maui, Hawaii. Of course, if you want to catch a good swell you may have to wait out a last minute ticket costing you muchos. (unless of course your farmers Almanac is super accurate)

Whenever you come you’ll more likely than not be able to catch a few decent days of waves, summer or winter. And at $1,880 for the trip you may just want to come for the fun anyway.

$1,880 was figured from $390 flight, $250 car, $100 gas (it’s a small island), $35/day food and drink (good luck with that), and $60 for lodging (be sure to share.)

We would suggest a nice cushion of $700 but even at $2,500 it would be an awesome trip.
