Aloha from Maui - Day 13



We woke in the Aloha State to bright sunshine and a keen 25 knot Northerly wind. The guys were to get more time on the Spreckville waves but my thoughts were to get out and enjoy what I enjoy - Bump & Jump Freeride wave.

I chose to go to Kanaha Beach Park on my own to chase out a few demons that hat got into my head armed only with my Fanatic Freewave 95, Blade 5.3 and 5.7. Once there I took a look and the waves were BIG out on the reef but the water downwind and in the bay was quite flat. I rigged my 5.3, downed two super hardcore pain killers and went out.....

.....and what a day. Fantastic flat water with loads of ramps to get jump after jump, small to begin with as I wasn't sure how my back would cope, but as the day went on I ventured closer and closer to the waves. At one point I was 10 yards away just behind a MASSIVE wave forming, luckily going away from me, but it must have been 10ft at the face.



Sara has a new friend Liz, Jason Polakow's other half. She has invited Sara to go and see JP do 'Jaws' on Wednesday as it forecast to be kicking off - just bloody hope Jason doesn't expect me to join him on a 45ft wave. Fortunately 'Jaws' is sailed by invite only as only the VERY BEST can handle her when she's angry.

No pictures today as we were all sailing so here's a couple of pictures: One of Sara looking gorgeous and the other of me with at one of the best Freeride locations I've ever seen!
