The life of the jet set hay. The only way I can get there is in my imagination.

I'll have some coldies in the fridge for you when you arrive Yup. See you there. I can't wait.

(Please red thumb as much as possible. Gloating should be discouraged amongst this fraternity).

I'm at Sydney airport about to fly to Maui. I rang the shop to confirm my hire gear. They said, "dude best week ever. You will need nothing bigger than a 5.0. And there are waves galore!!"

Life is good

Day 1

12 windsurfers at this year's aloha clinic. A good mix of levels. Girls and guys.

i met mike (hi mike), Chris from hood river and a lady from bamuda.

Together we are all aiming for forward loops. Plenty of wind and waves. And most likely plenty of excuses.

today i was on a 5.1 with a 96l board. All powered up. Man I'm sore. 5 hours of wave sailing takes it out of you.

oops. Sorry. You are all at work aren't you?

did I mention the water is really warm

Hey yuppy whats the theory behind using such a big board? Your only a light weight right?

Last couple of times in Maui I only needed an 80L board max

Hi jman

last year I met Levi silver the week before he won the aloha classic at Hookipa. He rides an 85l board. Most pros ride about 5 or 10 litres more than their body weight in the waves. I'm taking their lead.

The local town is paia. Excellent food.

This is is a typical building. It's not flash but has a very chilled out vibe.

My hands are in much better shape this year. I discovered you can by antibiotic cream in Safeway! Awesome stuff. I put it on each night. Lots of band aids.

my second forward loop still alludes me. We had a none plane day yesterday so it was all about light wind wave sailing.

today the forecast looks perfect for forwards. Fingers crossed. Balls enlarging. Heart rate rising.
