The wind and swells are really building here, so much so that at the moment the most feared and exclusive wave in the world 'Jaws' is likely to make an appearance on Wednesday. This 60ft wave is only sailed by less than ten windsurfers because if you get it wrong.....you die!
Today though it was all about donning your best jeans, cowboy boots and getting ready to 'just ride'. Sara and I went over to Kanahlui to hire a Harley Davidson Road King for the day and tour the beautiful North and West shores full of awesome landscapes and small coves which attract massive waves to break and 60 odd surfers fighting to surf them. Its quite common to see surfers go 'one on one' over a wave they both claimed to be theirs.
The Harley was simply awesome, cruisin helmetless (no helmets are required here) on sweeping coastal roads enjoying the view - something I would attempt in the UK even if helmets were not required, but here you drive at about 40 mph most of the time and its lovely to feel the wind in your hair. I will try and add a movie via Sara's laptop, until then heres a couple of pictures.
Tomoz we get to meet the legendary Robby Naish and then go sailing efore 'Mad Wednesday', our last day begins.
