Kanaha SUP 21 Feb. 2k11

Hi there,

in the last ten days there hasn't been so much wind, but at least we could sail for few hours...

The winter time in Maui can be like that, but at the same time it gives us nice good swell hitting the North Shore coast.

This below is one of the best days - at least for me - i hope you like it.

The short video shows how sometime everything goes wrong from the beginning...

Sup cruising and Whales

Like every year, from the beginning of November to the end of February the whales swim through the Hawaiian Islands.
Maui has a perfect natural channel between Molokini and Wailea that is defined "The Highway of Whales"

So yesterday morning early I went to Makena beach with my stand up paddle board and went cruising around looking for some whales.

The short video, (original audio), shows how many there are out there, infact I even had them just underneath my board... it's incredible how such as a large and impressive mammal can camouflage so easily with the color of the sea.

For tomorrow the wind should be back and we might also get some swell...

Talk to you soon.
Andrea

PS: By the end of February the KUAU MART will close. This is the last real local Hawaiian Lunch Stop and Mart on the North Shore of Maui. Please support and visit their facebook Page!

Maui - Waves and Wind

Hi there,
after returning from Barbados last Saturday, Sunday morning I went out with SUP at Kanaha - good waves, lots of people (as always on Sunday), many friends and a lot of Fun!

Tuesday I had a nice windsurfing Day
Kanaha sometimes surprises me - how can be such bigs waves..? Anyway, in the morning the normal set was mast high, really impressive, especially the white water..
I mounted the GoPro HD camera immediately on the boom.. and I took some funny photos (posted just one below) and a short video..

I hope you like it

Many thanks to the lifeguards who rescue about 5/6 guys with mast or parts broken.

Aloha,

Andrea
