Maui Weekly 5 #

















Crazy photoshoot action at hookipa Today. it hasnt been Photoweather for a week and all the teams were eager to get shots of the 2011 gear. a lot of guys went on the rocks as well. a friend ended up breaking his mast in 3 pieces and had to pick out a big rock from his board !




A picture to show the weather on the nort shore the last week. onshore,cloudy and crap waves. a bit like Norway actually ;) this day however i sailed sunny southshore fully powered on a 4.7 !



Some southshore atmosphere !




A telltale sign that the south is working. the smoke from the sugar factory heading straight down the valley.


Kiter on the west side. too light to windsurf there this day.

Big swell at Hookipa ! a welcome sight after a period of semi flatness !








Something for 2011 ?


Been a bit up and down with the windsurfing last week. mostly Kihei bump and jump and small waves.Cloudy and onshore on the north shore. Got a session in bigger waves at Lowers yeasterday,and the wind has switched back to sideshore with a swell to match ! unfortunlately my arm is really sore. hope it only needs some rest,so i took a day of the water today. sat for 3 hours watching the action at Hookipa and working on the suntan.
as most will know theres some problems with the airtraffic to and in Europe. inconvenient as im flying back home in 3 days.. Im kind of hoping i can change my ticket for free and wait it out here on Maui.
