Maui Windsurfing

The Maui Windsurfing DAILY Report MWR Daily Report September 23rd, 1997 I ran the other way!... Well, it happened... (actually a lot of happened but I'll get to that) What happened? The first north swell of the winter happened. Came in to Maui last night and was glorious at 10-15'. Unfortunately, although it seemed windy, it was one of those onshore "fools winds" But nobody was that foolish. I hung around Hoo'kipa for about an hour to see if anyone was gonna dare it but I was stuck talkin story with the homeys. Then, a light went off in my pea brain.... it was tellin me, "Go to the south shore you wind maggot! Can't you see that if it's onshore on the north shore that its probably windy as hell on the south shore.?" I had to answer myself by truckin on down there. I wasn't disappointed. It was fully 5.0 (more like 4.7 but I was too stoked to come back and re-rig) and the waves were like head high. Fully bashable.. I did have one negative incident and that was when I was standing in waist deep water, playin with my lines when suddenly I look up and there's some giant BIC board bearing down on me. I make a frantic leap and barely get out of the way but I hear this most terrible sound of a "bonk." I realize I'm still alive but I see this guy who barely speak s English (he barely speaks at all cause I'm screamin and yellin at him for almost killin me.) I have to admit that I fully went off on the guy, especially when I see that there's a ding in my brand new, virgin and unreal stick. I was goin frickin bananas! (You boardheads that know me can quit laughing NOW!) Well, I sorta got my composure back and told him to meet me at the beach. (We were at Maui Sunset) At the beach I tell him that I'm sorry for yelling and he blurbs off something about paying for the ding in my board. Actually, I can hardly understand this fellow but he now has my attention as he's talkin my language, MONEY! We settle on a price for the repair ($50) and I again apologize for lighting up like a volcano on him. He says something like, "it's OK." So I feel like everybody is allright now.... the guy goes his way I look at my brand new board which is now just another stick on the street Surf life will never be the same..... (but I did bash some good ones today) hope to see you out there.. (just don't try to run me over) aloha - Tim Back to September, 97 Thissite uses VOXWARE soundtechnology.

AskChrisKnight.com HOME :: Travel-and-Leisure / Outdoors Hawaii Volcano Tour By Keith Thompson Article Word Count: 316 [ View Summary ] Comments (0) A Hawaii volcano tour can be a most memorable experience,and is readily available (short of eruptions!) year round.While each island boasts some volcanic heritage, The BigIsland is where all the action is. A Hawaii volcano tour of necessity begins in HawaiiVolcanoes National Park, established in 1916. This park,containing more than 218,000 acres, is open daily and offersguided tours and more. It encompasses both the world's mostmassive volcano, Mauna Kea, at 13,796 feet, and Kilauea, theworld's most active volcano. Mauna Kea, which in Hawaiianmeans literally "white mountain", gets this name from thefact that it is quite often snow-capped. It is also thoughtto be the world's tallest mountain when measured from it'sundersea base to the summit. Currently dormant, Mauna Keahas also become the home of an important astronomicalcenter, where astronomers from all over the world vie forspots atop the summit to view the heavens. Kilauea, which has been in continual eruption since 1983,gives visitors on a Hawaii volcano tour stunning views ofmolten lava flows, steam vents, and vast lava fields. It issaid that this eruption has added more than 500 acres to theBig Island since it's eruption! One more fascinating tidbitabout Kilauea, is that perched atop the crater rimoverlooking the caldera is the Volcano House, Hawaii'soldest continually-operated hotel, dating from 1846.Probably not hard to keep warm at night! On Maui, one volcano not to overlook is Haleakala, a dormantvolcano in the middle of the island, long renowned for it'sfantastic sunsets. It's also a great place to hike or camp,and especially ride a bike down! (Very Cool!) Good reason togo to Maui. (As if you needed one!) When you plan your Hawaii volcano tour, be sure to plan sometime to take in some or all of these sights. You'll beforever changed!
