Day 63 - Sup @ Kanaha and some windsurfing..

Hi there,
the last two days the wind conditions have not changed much, and both yesterday and today I went to Kanaha with my SUP.
Unfortunately I have no pictures and video of yesterday, because the battery died again... but today - after having recharged it a whole night - it worked.
The waves were about head high, but sometimes there were even bigger sets... It's a pity that the wind already blew early in the morning from North, making paddling harder.
Note: when I went in the water I saw a guy on a SUP which was really good and when I got to the line up, he gave me the way on the first wave. It was Mr. Dave Kalama in person!!! You can see me thanking him with a shaka on the video

In the afternoon the wind picked up a little more, so I tried to sail with a 5.0 on 81 litres... I slogged for a while, got a couple of waves... and came back.

Tomorrow the forecast says: No wind!... we'll see.
Aloha,
Andrea

Day 61 - SUP @ Woodys

Hi there,

As already mentioned yesterday, this morning at 6.30 Gary called me to go to Stand Up Paddle in Lahaina...
After few minutes he was already outside of my door... " go...come out...it's time to go!"... I jumped in his car and a nice coffee with biscuits were waiting for me in the dashboard, wonderful breakfast.
Around 7.10am we were already in Woodys, (few miles before Lahaina), and beautiful waves were there as expected.
Here is a small video and some photos of today...

We surfed a couple of hours and then some south wind started to blow, so we decided to drive to Lahaina and take another coffee and a pastry.
It is raining in maui now!
Aloha
Andrea

Guess how deep...?
