Destroyed a rig in the Hookipa rocks today... video to come!
Mate,
your blog is impeccable!
Your respect for your gear however is not!
Keep charging and keep the stories coming.
Wooza
Got some video yesterday with the GoPro
Man, I never realised your hands were so BIG! Weird angles for the Go pro
water looks so nice and warm.
Keep the images coming!
Gusty w/sw today, rained overnight, water tasted like poo! You missed nothing!
[Actually, i did have an ok sesh at No-mates after work on my 6m Rebel and I borrowed a Firewire 5'11" Taj. Sick!!]
When do we see Mega smashing it?

Hey mate, great blog. Your vacation rental looks like it is in the spot - with a short walk to Spreckelsville Beach. Can you tell me what vacation rental agency you used to book your property through and who did you get your van from? I am going over for a mid winter break and any insight you can give me would be appreciated. Have a great windsurfing holiday - I lived there for years in the 80s and 90s - its a water persons paradise. Good on you - live it up.
Hey Martin,
No Mates is where I hang when I just want some water-time headspace. Also, you're always assured of a carpark and you don't cop everyone else's dirty air!
On good days, there's also chicks in bikini's serving beer, the beach is scattered with palm trees and there's a band playing reggae music!
Thanks Wooza, I sail there all the time, then I wake up
Joel, The only thing I can think of is a Monty Python quote.." you lucky bastard"!!!
Don't have too much fun you'll use it all up.
Isn't it funny. Fellow sailors in Maui, the Mecca and we all wait anxiously for the success stories in the same way as if your mate was shagging a supermodel.
Had a good session yesterday at Hookipa...
swell was pretty small but the wind was nuking! Al was on his 3.6 James and Phil on 4.2 and I was on my 4.7

Geez to be their age again. I lived the dream as these guys are back in 1988. Five blokes sailing everyday for an entire month. Still have very fond memories of that trip. JP was there with his folks as a 14 yr old, now he virtually owns the place! The sailing on the south side of Maui(Kihei), is a combo of points, reefs and funnily enough, speed sailing conditions! Maybe i'll get back there one day. Maybe Joel will let me come as his rig caddy!
Love the end part of the video, when you 2 dudes try and take on that wave, that was nice
Some photos taken today from the water at Hookipa
Was a nice day, small swell but heaps of wind on the 4.7
superb blog and vids KA222. We were there 1-14 May also. First trip to Maui. Kanaha worked best for me as my wave sailing and jumping are crap!(too old and creaky hahah)
Your first vid was circulated widely and the second is great also.
Here's my little vid.
