Aloha from Maui - Day 11/12

The wind has been coming in nicely giving the boyz a chance to play in the swell which is massive one day then quite small (well 6-8ft) the next. My ribs have been getting slowly better and I attended Yoga Wednesday and then tryed to sail. The problem was that the swell outside our house (basically next to Sprecks) had massive swell and rocks everywhere which did nothing to gain my confidence so I called it a day.
I'm starting to wonder whether Maui is the location for sailing for me. Waves are great if you want waves, but I'me not sure I want waves. This feeling was strengthened when Sara and I visited the South side of the Island and saw some of the best freeriding conditions I have ever seen.


I know certain people will put this down to me not being extreme enough, or just scared, but you know I windsurf for the joy of windsurfing at any level, light wind, flat, waves, etc but I want to ENJOY myself. Frankly, and I'm sure my injury has made things worse, I don't enjoy sailing in some locations here and would prefer to be at Wells or El Medano.
But Maui is a truly wonderful place and the windsurfing history steeped in this place is quite evident on all levels.

Sadly my last video post has sent my iMovie software go on strike so no more vids for the moment. The picture today is of Sara and I at Lahaina where Hump Back Whales can be seen in close quarters. We are next to a real skeleton of a Humpback - truly massive. Also the Thommen 2010 Cross X board which we have been extensively testing and I really like - watch this space.
