Hi, I am planning on going to Maui this summer for about a week and wanted to ask about intermediate lessons and rental options. There seems to be a lot of opinions & info for beginners, but experiences for intermediate (or "early-intermediate") isn't easy to find.
Me: I foil in SF Bay Area(started last year!) and use a 90L board + Armstrong HA780. Coming up on foil and staying there(going upwind, etc) is fine, but I haven't still mastered jibes(working on pitch control during turns), and what I want to do is to use my time in Maui and get some lessons to master it... and maybe even tacks! I can take multiple lessons in a row if need be.
2 part question:
[1] Lesson: Who would you recommend to get lessons from, specifically focusing on foiling jibes? Extra bonus is if the teacher can provide advice on where to go to and teach there (other than the harbor). There seems to be some extra local knowledge that would be helpful (e.g. depth/clearance). Extra extra bonus (and willing to pay extra) if they can take some videos where I can watch myself do wrong things.
[2] Rental: Where can I get some good "early-intermediate rentals", like a HA 780 and a 90L board (I weight around 150-160lbs)? I prefer to not get an ancient beginner equipment. And semi-related... should I bring my own foil? There is no way I am going to bring my board, but could bring my armstrong HAv2 foil if there isn't good rental options (although rental is still my preferred option).
Thanks in advance!
