Maui two days in

Plenty of wind here on Maui, but not on the North Shore. So no Hookipa, Lanes, etc - the famouse Maui Beaches.

We've been out on the water everyday though, down on the south side at Kihei. We've done loads of Freeride shots on the Futura Boards and my 6.0 TBird has been getting alot of use. It's actually been howling to the point of overpowered - most of the freestylers have been on 4.7 sails! If anybody remembers the old Neil Pryde Videos (moving target, Rigmarole, etc) then they will recognise the shots we got as this is where a lot of the flat water shots were filmed for these vids

We had the helicopter up yesterday and had a great photo session pacing behind the chopper. It's pretty cool to be going at full whack with a helicopter going at the same speed, side ways only meters in front of you! We had photographers and video dudes in the chopper so I reckon we would have got some great shots.

Looks like a great day for sup today, so we are just about to pack the vans and head off.....

Maui

I've been in Maui now for two days. So far we've had pretty minimal swell and wind, but I'm hopeful of some good conditions as we go into the weekend. I'm here for the Starboard SUP and windsurf photoshoot and staying literally meters from the famous North Shore of Maui, pretty much right next door to Mama's Fish House a famous North Shore restaurant. I'm here until the 13th April so I will try and bring you some more pictures as the days progress.
