DAy 5 - Surfing in the Harbour

Hi All,
yesterday I have been driving around the town to settle all the bills for my van: Insurance 163,00$ for 3 months, Registration 169,00$ for 1 Year and Safety Check 20,00$ also for 1 Year... now I only need to pay for the gasoline.
(1 gallon = 3,79$ = 3,78 liters)


While I was driving I passed in front of the Harbor of Kahului and i have seen the beautiful waves, so i stopped and make some photos i hope you like it.



For the next week the forecast doesn't give me any chance to go windsurfing but for sure I'll find something else to do... I'm in Maui not in Torbole!!
See ya!
Andrea

Day 4 - @ Home... Garage Sale

Hi all,
Yes it is true!
In the last 2 days I felt some pain in my left knee so I preferred to stay quite and don't go sailing for some days.
Infact I spent all day at home working on my new-next 2010 Seatexboards.com website.


I hope to feel better today. Yestarday big and huge Garage Sale here in the Buzianis's yard... so nice to see how they can sale everything and make room in their garage so easly. I wish we could do it at home too!




Talk to you soon!

Day 3 - Too Much Wind...

Hi there,
Yesterday in Kanaha Beack Park, amazing wind:  30/35 knots from 11am to 5pm.
I even tried with my 4.5 Smack but was still too big, this wind is unsual for the period, normally it stays around 20-24 knots.





Anyway today the Buzianis's Family is doing a big GARAGE SALE, especially for windsurf gear, so if someone wanna come and buy used/new staff, YOU ARE WELCOME! starts from 8am.

Day 1 - 25Nov 2009 JAWS

This morning I met Ricardo Campello after 5 years, and he says:" Andrea, how are you? you are in perfect time for Surfing in Jaws..!!!"... hmmm Ricardo, i'm not a Pro, so I prefer to come and watch you and all the rest of Pros, (Albeau, Buzianis and more) from the hill..

So at 1pm all the Crew was in the water, the forecast gave 20Feet Face of Wave.
Here are some photos..
