Maui sits on the precipice overlooking the abyss, slowing rocking back and forth over the edge but never falling. At least, not yet. Winter is on the way. The gnarled big Northerly waves will come; it’s not an “if” but rather “when”. So days like this Wednesday, light wind spiced with flat water, are merely […]
The lack of conditions continue here on Maui (proving that it is not always windy mast-high at Hookipa). But the flat water did not stop Brendan and I from making the long climbing drive up Haleakala’s more than 10,000 feet to the mountain’s summit. One of the steepest inclines in the world (from 0 […]
Tuesday morning Hookipa is so flat, like summer time flat. And the next few days are not looking any better. But I guess this is good because Brendan and I can explore the island searching for interesting footage and angles. I really like showing people Maui because it allows me to rediscover my home […]
A good sized swell graced Hookipa Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of this week, but unfortunately the waves were too Easterly to be easily ridden. The large, storm-surf NE waves provided a fun challenge in riding them– they were not very speed, making it difficult to generate steep but the waves would also have big, […]

Wednesday at Hookipa was small and very unglamorous. But filming has begun! Brendan from umi is here, proving that umi is the best thing going on in windsurfing right now. Here are some shots:
Tuesday was a rest day inspired by the small waves and fluky wind. The forecast is looking fun for the end of the week with good wind and a decent NE swell to hit on Friday. Don’t expect epic heavy waves, but do expect fun very trickable waves. For now, check out these pictures from […]
Windsurfing is an art of Passion. And what to better breed passion than pain? At some point over last weekend, I realized the sacrifices that I’ve (happily) made to be windsurfing on Maui. If it were not for windsurfing, I would not be on Maui. Rather, I’d probably be in New York City working […]
With the contest over, the weather decided to bless us with some fun waves and gusty wind. I’ve been on a single fin trip, riding one of Levi’s single fin boards and loving the speed through the bottom turn and the ability to fly vertically into the lip. Brendan fom umi is coming on Tuesday. […]
