+"Winds can turn offshore…, so this run can turn dangerous quickly" - Robert Stehlik
+"Yes, it can be dangerous without local experience. Unlike the north shore, our wind has to bend around the mountains, shoot thru the central valley and zoom down the south coast. It gets easier to predict by watching and visiting weather sites on a daily basis. I wish there were some definite leads I could point to, but there are too many variables. We are usually 'on the cusp' of conditions good enough to get in a longer run. If the trades are blowing, we get something. Sometimes the wind only fills in for a few miles." - Lawrence Risley ([[https://surfski.info/forum/19-boats/20559-kai-waa-vega-arc.html?start=20#41268|more surfski.info on Kihei and Southshore runs]])

+  * **Maliko Run**  - 9.6 miles from **Maliko Gulch**  and ends at **Kanaha Beach**, the **Canoe Club**, or in **Kahului harbor**. There are reefs near the takeouts, so it is a VERY good idea to get someone to show you where to go in for the finish of your run your first time, particularly if there is any swell. Maliko is a very consistent run with the peak months being from June - October. The Maliko run is easily accessible and has a shuttle service that will pick you up and take you to Maliko Gulch allowing for multiple runs per day.
       * "On a windy day the Maliko run gets big wind swells combined with open ocean swells that makes for challenging and exciting conditions with big drops, fast acceleration and long, fast glides. In the winter the run can get big North Swells which can make crossing the reefs a challenge. Conditions can be very rough and challenging for those new to downwinders. I highly recommend doing a coached run… if you don’t have downwind experience." - Robert Stehlik
