Last days on Maui


Boujma in a high stalled forward

This is a big wave. JP shows whos the boss


I remember Mark Angulo going for his mutants a couple of years ago. he didnt land that many then. now hes doing them consistenly (landed this) and also clew first. saw him land one up at middles where he got this incredible lift rotated perfectly and landed fully planing back on the face with a bang that could be heard all the way up on the cliff !




Yes,once in a while its actually nice to do something other than windsurfing. One of Mauis many waterfalls.







The rocks at Hookipa has seen a lot of trashed gear over the years..





Had to take two days of the water 4 days ago. My right arm was shot.grabbing things and lifting a waterbottle hurted. Think it was a good decision cause the last two days i could sail for hours perfectly powered on my 4.7 with side/side off head high waves. racing down the line and scoring 5-6 turns a wave :)
Was a expensive last day however as i catapulted through my sail. went to the hot shop and traded it for a used one and back on the water in 30 minutes :) After the last session i went to the check in and got robbed by Delta. 600 US !! 1 board 4 sails 2 masts and a boom. packed in 2 bags. 300 pr bag (piece) One of the bags were 2 sails rolled together in a sail bag. the answer to my reasoning were "its all about pieces now,its a la carte,its very expensive,can i have your credit card" Man,if you plan to use Delta,travel light.. I wont travel with them again..
