Can't speak for the other islands, but you can walk to Kite Beach from the Kahului cruise ship dock, and if there's a north swell there will be good waves right there. Check it out on Google Earth.

James Bond style: Pump a kite on the ship and launch in front of the harbor in Kahului.

That'd be cool. The western harbor breakwall has a good wave called Big Ed's. It's not bad for kiting, but last time I rode it I didn't stay long, as Ed is a 15 foot hammerhead, and I didn't feel like meeting him.

I haven't seen Ed yet, but I have met his 14 foot cousin.
