Waves....









Been into SUP surfing the last few days. had beatiful stand up fun both yeasterday and today. its really cool to be standing up and take in the surroundings. been out at lowers and its so peaceful and nice out there without the wind. just a perfect longboard spot. there was a little bit of kona wind yeasterday it was superlight,but the good guys here can sail in almost no wind. I would say the most impressive thing with the windsurfing was how they got back in when the wind died. the 3 man fleet had to sail in 7-8 knots wind from Lanes through Hookipa on a epic day with 40 of Mauis best surfers out.. a recipe for conflict you would think, but every sailor just got a wave and sailed straight back in.. This afternoon Ho was probably the biggest ive seen. HUGE closeouts and only about 4 guys out. The pictures are from the last two days

yup, when Ho gets that big, its all close outs.

last february when Hookipa would close out, all the pros would sail lowers.

glad your having fun w/SUP. I've never tried that.
