Fun 4.0

The wind was cranking today at Kanaha, and unlike the gusty days we've seen the last week or so, the wind was pretty consistent. Got to Kanaha in the afternoon and was told that I should go out on 4.0. I was a bit skeptical  but I went on the 4.0 and JP 77 and sailed very powered up to often on the edge of being overpowered. With all that wind, there was some fun rolling swell outside the reef. Nice fun day.
 
Yesterday, by contrast, was light at Kanaha but very windy and gusty in Kihei.  Went over to Maui Sunset in the late afternoon. Looked pretty mellow so I went out on the 5.0, but the winds were easily 4.0 and really gusty and shifty. Didn't take long to realize that this was no fun so made it just a short session.
