Maui Windsurfing

The Maui Windsurfing DAILY Report MWR Daily Report May 17th, 1996 Looks like there's a good puff out there. I'm writing this ahead of time cause I'm gonna get so tired I won't be able to type. tim ATTENTION: Will the blonde woman sailing uppers on Ezzy wave gear this afternoon please e-mail kent@maui.net :-) Wow! What can I say? It just doesn't get any better than this. For my sizeanything from 4.2 to 4.7 was perfect. The northeast trade winds were sosteady that sail choice was a matter of personal preference. I took my4.7 thinking that if the wind backed off a bit I would still be fullypowered. The wind never eased, in fact, there wasn't a single hole to befound anywhere! After all the slalom sailing from days past, it was good to finally getback on a wave board. I could tell it was going to be a good session fromthe moment I hooked in and started heading upwind from the launch atkook's beach (Kanaha). Making my way out towards upper reef, everythingseemed so well balanced and in control. I could take my hands off theboom and just hang back and cruise. I was hitting jumps on the way out,just to get warmed up, and not loose any speed. Yes, this was going tobe a good session! Imagine how stoked I was to see Robby Naish and DonMontague sailing by. This is how I dreamed it would always be. At Uppers, I found myseff in waves that were shoulder high, nothingterribly radical, but perfectly matched for my ability level. Occaisionally a logo-high set would roll in and challenge my nerves. Igladly took the challenge this time and went for it. I managed a few nicebottom turns and off-the-lips. Yes, this was wavesailing at it's finest. The sun is out. It's warm, the water saphire blue and so refreshing. Breathing the fresh air, naturally cleansed from travelling thousands ofmiles over open ocean, was envigorating. It was spectacular looking upand seeing Halealkela rising to over 10,000 feet in the foreground and tothe opposite, the rugged and mist-covered West Maui mountains and Iaovalley. Rainbows, palm trees, green pineapple and cane fields. It's alltoo much to take in at one time. Someone pinch me. I've been hereexactly one year, but I'm still amazed at this place, and it still seemsall too good to be true. After sailing for about an hour, Kent shows up and we greet each otherwith smiles and shouts. Eeee-hah! We slashed around some more until Igot too tired to continue. I figured it was time to quit while I'm stillahead and save this scene for another day. Gary Back to May, 96

Oahu Exploring Hawaiiand the

janeyzee's Tropical Travel Pages - Exploring Oahu Welcome to my tropical pages JaneyZee's Tropical Travel Pages Hawaii, August 1998 Introductionand Web Rings Exploring Oahu Exploring Hawaiiand the Kona Coast Hilo and The Volcano Snorkeling Adventures Fishing Adventures Resorts Links EXPLORING OAHU Pearl Harbor, Dole, North Shore We all decided to make the circuit of the island the first full day we were on Oahu, starting with Pearl Harbor , continuing to the Dole Pineapple Store and Maze , then the North Shore , and finally coming around the island's eastern side and back home to the Hale Koa. Hanauma Bay, Maka Puu, KimoZ The next day Darrell and I struck out on our own to do some things that weren't of interest to my in-laws. First was snorkeling at Hanauma Bay then on to Makapuu , the first of two lighthouses we visited on Oahu. Lunch at KimoZ in Waimanalo and a quick stop at the Halona blow hole, then back home. Pali Lookout, Byodo-In Temple, Polynesian Cultural Center The following day we took the Pali Highway to the Nuuanu Pali Lookout for a spectacular view of the island. The next stop was the Byodo-In Buddhist temple , a beautiful replica of a 900 year old temple in Japan. We arrived at our main destination, the Polynesian Cultural Center , promptly at noon when it opened and had a great day, filled with the colors and sounds of Polynesia. Waikiki Aquarium, Foster Botanical Gardens Just one day left on Oahu before leaving for the Kona Coast. Darrell and I walked to the Waikiki Aquarium to see the fish and exhibits and then took the bus to the Foster Botanical Gardens . What a peaceful place, with gorgeous flowers, trees and other plants. Then we went back to the hotel for the dinner buffet and Hawaiian show later that night. Diamond Head Lighthouse The next morning we took a quick drive to the Diamond Head lighthouse for a last minute photo opportunity before boarding the plane that took us to the big island of Hawaii.
