Maui weekly #3




Kai Lenny and his boss having a photoshoot ( and a blast) at lanes

Rainbows everyday here. sometimes you see them in the spray on the wave in front of you as youre dropping down a beauty !




A GPS company supplied a few sailors with Gps and the goal was to get as high as possible ! not sure who won,but Camille Juban and Levi Siver did their best !







This was a huge day. Jason Polakow went out at Hookipa and big wave sailed in the Channel between Lanes and Hookipa. usually a "safe" passage out.. this day a few guys sailed Jaws. actually went down there to check but it must have been the wrong time of day.





Had some big swell at Lowers a week ago that slowly faded out. luckily theres been a big windswell thats kept the reefs from going totally flat. been sailing lowers and Kuau this week. sailing is slowly improving and i have now sailed something like 17 days in a row.. could probably use a break but when its windy and waves what can you do ;)

Hi Paal. Super cool to follow your blogg now with a lot of cool and nice pictures! Must have been fun to watch the high jump contest. I know how it is when you have sailed for severel days, and you need a rest. For us sitting here in cold Norway it is of cource hard to understand. It should be possibele to put the days off water in a bank or something and take out later when the surf/windsurf need is on the most! :-) But I support you with your rest days, somethimes the body and mind need it , and you sail better the next day. I look forward to hear abour your Private lessons with Matt Pritchard. I have been thinking about the same when I have been on Maui, hope I can do it next time. Say hello to all the nice people over there..and look forward to more updates on your blogg. Tormod
