Less than one week...

...until I visit Windsurfing Mecca for the first time : )

I just checked the Maui forecast. Looks like 14 foot seas and 20+ knot ENE winds the day I arrive... Perhaps I'll start with the Da Curve 79 and a 4.7, going down the line at Ho'okipa? Nothing quite like throwing yourself right into the thick of it........ Wish me luck (getting off the rocks in one piece)!!

Sweet! I so want to visit Maui again. It has been too long ago and is now a fading memory. I figure if I start putting funds aside now by the time I can ride the waves in Hatteras I'll have a Maui trip in the bank.

Ahhh Andy, sounds great! Just remember, the nice thing about Maui is that its simply a wave conveyor belt, aka wavesailing Disney Land! Time the sets right (always pick wave 4), and if you were conservative, you could go the day without getting your hair wet. Of course, get rad, hit the lip, and if you go down in the zone, those waves look big from water level, but their bark is worse than the bite, especially compared to what we experience in Hatteras.

Hopefully see some shots of you perhaps on GPs blog!

PS: dont forget to bring home a bag of Anthony's Coffee - Paia Blend!
