Well we are now in the windsurfing Mecca of the world and bot its better than you can image.
Day1
We went to Ho'Okipa and took a look at the top spot in the world. Its really quite emotional to see this spot. Its much smaller than you think and there's only about a ten yard stretch of beach to get out there. The weard thing was I really didn't know how to react when I did see the place but Ant has told us we WILL sail the spot whilst we are out here.
I also got the chance to meet one of the most infuential windsurfers in the world - Jason Polakow. He was teaching some kids how to motocross and was just so approachable. We will be sailing with him later on the trip.
So we went to Kanaha beach, a beach which is nice and flat on the inside, but as we found, had 3/4 mast high waves on the outside ( Ant words not mine!). Mike sailed really well but I had some trouble negotiating the way out to begin with. After a couple of hours on 5.3 sails I got my first 3/4 mast high wave............. fookin scary but what a buzz. Just as I felt smug I took a massive catapult and I now have bruised left ribcage and it is SO sore!!!
So there ends my first day and feeling super sore but I hope to get out tomoz......... till then.
Aloha and look forward tomorrows blog
