SUP - Sand Piles

Hi there,
this morning Mr. Gary alias "RaaatShiiit" woke me up at 7am.

" Hello... wake up Sand Piles is not so bad for stand up..." in the last few days I was sailing a little bit at Kanaha with some strong wind and no waves so this call was unexpected; but the EAST swell and few Wind created a good condition.

In 20 min. right passed the harbor, I saw the waves... see a short photo report of today. For me it was the first time again on SUP in Maui after 8months, I need to exercise more... enjoy!


Mr. Rat Shit - Gary


Much Aloha.

Welcome To Maui. Back in my second Home

YES!!

finally I'm back... after 8 months I'm in Maui again.

I'll not talk too much about the travel as it was like a nightmare... blocked in London from immigration security, change two airplanes for technical problems in Los Angeles and when finally I landed in Maui around 11pm the van wasn't running!

Arriving the day before Thanksgiving it's funny... everybody crazy about two things: buy a Turckey for lunch/dinner and look for the best Black Friday sales!
(don't know what Black Friday is see here)

I finally went to visit some friends, first stop at Ross House, in Camp One, coffeee and a lot of laughing...

Next stop thanksgiving lunch with Jeff and Kyla's family and Dagmar... WOW!!! thanks a lot was like be a part of the family

Breathing the fresh salty air makes me happy and after a small sailing session in kanaha with 4.3 I feel extremely better!

the evening was so fast and with the jetlag help I was exausted...

Good Night Maui... Good Morning Europe!

The season is going Off..

Dear All,
The season is about to end, the last work day will be Nov. 10th.!!!
It has been long, hard and very busy so now I'm ready to take a rest and time to relax...

I'm leaving end of November for my winter holiday: same place as usual, same new sails and same boards... but this winter I'll have to test my new line of Paddles in all kind of conditions (expecially some fully carbon Vario, and Fiber... ), so I'm planning to ship some of them directly from China. Below some photos:


Then perharps there's a chance I'll get to work onsite... I'll update you when things are taking shape! (keeping fingers crossed).

Now it's time to go back to work, still some more boards to fix...

Have a nice Day (Eur) and Night (Usa)
Andrea

Andy Irons

Official Statement: HONOLULU - (November 2, 2010) -- The world of surfing mourns an incredibly sad loss today with the news that Hawaii's Andy Irons has died. Andy was a beloved husband, and a true champion. Irons, 32,withdrew from a professional surfing event in Puerto Rico last weekend due to illness and passed away during a layover en-route to his home in Kauai, Hawaii. He had reportedly been battling with dengue fever, a viral disease. At this time the family thanks his friends and fans for their support,and asks that the community respect its privacy. The family also asks to not be contacted so their focus can remain on one another during this time of profound loss.

It is with deep sadness that Billabong has learned of the news of Andy Irons’ passing. Andy was one of the greatest surfers of our time. More than that, he was a much loved son, a devoted husband and a soon-to-be father. The thoughts of all Billabong employees worldwide are with wife Lyndie and Andy’s family at this most devastating time.
