Ho‘okipa, Surf spot in Maui County, US.

Ho'okipa is a surf spot on Maui's north shore featuring several distinct wave breaks and powerful conditions throughout the year. The beach has different sections with varying swell directions and water depths that suit different skill levels.

Hoʻokipa became the starting point of modern Hawaiian surfing in the early 1930s; in 1935 brothers Donald and Teruo Uchimura founded the first Hoʻokipa Surf Club, and Harold Rice paid for a small clubhouse to store boards. A 1 April 1946 tsunami destroyed much of the sand beach and park, after which the shoreline was reinforced with a high seawall. Windsurfing reached Maui around 1970, and the Aloha Classic ran here from 1984 to 2006 before the International Windsurfing Tour revived it in 2013.

Hoʻokipa means "hospitality" in Hawaiian. Since the 1930s the beach has hosted surf clubs: Donald and Teruo Uchimura founded the first Hoʻokipa Surf Club in 1935, and Barbara and William Meheula's club, later renamed Hoʻokipa Surf Club, named spots such as Hot Sands, Lone Palm and Pine Tree. The "ten men rule" bars windsurfers when ten or more surfers are on the water.

The beach has lifeguards, showers, restrooms, and picnic areas along with an observation point for watching surfers. The strong currents and waves require caution and are best suited for experienced water sports participants.

Hawaiian green sea turtles regularly come ashore here, especially during sunset hours, using the beach as a natural resting spot. These protected animals can be watched from a distance when they haul out to rest on land.
