Paia is close but not directly under the departure path like Sprecks/Camp One. There two
areas are the only north shore windsurfing 'beaches' with cottages within walking distance.
But the noise is part of the deal.
Assuming you are renting a car, I would recommend staying in Haiku which is about a 5-10
minute drive east of Paia. There are some lovely places up on West Kuliaha road and abouts.
The view, jungle-like atmosphere, and drive down in the AM are worth it.
