No wind today so we headed up to The Cannery, the seminal birthplace of almost all boards designs in the world whether custom boards for pro sailors or pre production boards you and I will sail. We met Mark Nelson who is the best shaper in the world and he showed us how he works his magic. We also saw where Dakine was started. A small unit within The Cannery where Dakine straps, uphauls etc were first made. We then went down to Ho'Okipa to see whether the forecasters were right predicting massive double high waves and high winds for tomorrow. The swell was certainly building and was mast high when we saw it.
So we prepare for tomorrow where we will experience some of the biggest conditions Maui has to offer!
