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
