remember to vote

Tweaking an air off the lip
Tuesday was not a sailing day for me. I went to the beach to check it out but the wind was super light and gusty and the waves were tiny. Despite the lack of conditions, there was a surplus of people on the water. The upcoming AWT contest probably had something to do with it.
Speaking of contests and crowds, remember to vote for me (Graham Ezzy) on the AWT website. Vote on the right side of the page using the contest widget. I want to debut some new moves in the expression session!
Also on Tuesday was doing a small interview for the Maui News about the upcoming contest and making sure that I’ve got all my Chinook gear in order: booms, bases, and universals. Ready!
After reading what I’ve written and reflecting on today, it sure seems that the Maui Makani contest is invading the tranquil island life here on Maui. I guess that’s good though. Good for the riders to have a venue to exhibit the sport to which they’ve dedicated their lives.
Here are some pics from the last days. Oh also, in windsurfing you’re only as good as your last day on the water. Think about that. And I’ve got an essay coming that addresses the topic.
Boosting an air on a big section. Flying feels good.
Throwing a goiter around. I made this one, but the landing wasn't pretty.
