Ladies Day Sundays!!

The Original Ladies Day Members, Heather, Jen, Maria, Patti, Suzie, Adriana, Deja and Coach Clarissa Hempil

Due to the popular demand Action Sports Maui and Kite Club Maui will continue to host Ladies Day Sundays kite session at Action Beach. Ladies day began a few years ago when several of us girls were all at the same riding level. We were all riding, some not quite upwind but all of us girls would get together, kite and be there for support. When the club started we had beach caddies that would walk the beach and catch our kites, we would get free coaching from Dave and and encouragement and support from each other.  Our club has now become a popular get together for the girls on the island, locals and visitors. The Ladies Day program is now for up-wind riders, who would like to work on certain tricks or just get together, talk story and ride with friends.  We also have a variety of 2011 demo kites!  Over the years Action Sports Maui and Kite Club Maui also sponsors free womens kite events with pro rider Clarissa Hempil and World Champion Kristin Boese who has launched KB4Gs, a world wide womens kite tour.
