surf-matic

A taka from the long lost swell of last week.

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 to 10k feet), Haleakala means “house of the sun” in Hawaiian. The crater reminds me of another planet, barren of vegetation and so glaringly volcanic. But the striking landscapes were perfect for capturing on film as we spent the day on Maui’s highest point.

And here is a great photo of great text:

Tomorrow’s mission will be Hana unless the conditions appear. More photos to follow!
