Maui Northshore 08.11.08






Another great sailing day today ! had the first session at Kuau.the wind was really offshore,but strong and reasonably stable. some head high sets. was a bit overpowered on my 5.3 could have used a 4.7. at least i was able to nail a working high wind trim on my new 5.3. had a bit to much power in the turns. offshore wind and owerpowered on a reasonably fast wave means a lot of speed.. anyhow it was fun blasting around on the break ! Drove down to lowers later and it was even more windy ! was powered to overpowered on my 4.7. some fun jumping and the occasional wave ride. when rigging down i noticed that the rubber on my UJ was almost torn in two.. lucky it didnt break in the super offshore winds at Kuau..Tormod left Maui yeasterday,so im the only norwegian left now.
