With a slowly increasing Easterly wind on the north shore of Maui, I thought it was a good idea to head back to the south west side again where I scored great waves yesterday together with Devin and Donna. (a big North swell wrapped around to the south-west side of Maui). The swell had dropped, but there were still fun ‘left over’ waves with at the end… as it seemed a new south swell mixing in…
The Tiki 8’5″ by 28 wide (Starboard) is my favorite board for in the waves. I love the feel of how light it is and how well it turns, because it is a lot shorter than your ‘average’ board (around 10′ feet).
Daida ( from the Canary Islands) and her boyfriend Rodrigo joined me. Daida is an inspiration for me in windsurfing as her jumps are sky high – strong – and fearless. Her wave knowledge is also ‘spot on’ from day 1 I saw her and her twin sister (Iballa) windsurf. Now she is here on Maui for ‘the windsurfing season’ and took some of her first waves on a Stand Up with great result (check pics below!). Rodrigo; a pro rugby player from the Canary Islands took his first waves surfing today. He also paddles his first meters on a SUP board!
As you can see, we took the waterproof camera out in the water with us and documented our session
