Post Labor Day Sailing

Labor Day came and went and with it much of the summer windsurfing crowd at Kanaha. Light winds prevailed earlier in the week and were forecast to continue through today. However, the wind decided to kick back in on Tuesday, enough for a nice 5.0 session in the afternoon at Kanaha. Yesterday it kicked in a bit more - 4.5, well-powered 4.5. Had a great session playing in the waist high waves at Camp One. If you like nuclear wind, bump and jump, Kihei was the place to be yesterday. Averages were between 30 and 35 most afternoon with gusts around 45. Today was another 4.5 day. A little gustier than yesterday, but good nonetheless. Not much to speak of for waves though. Late in the afternoon, Kevin Pritchard was practicing some freestyle moves right in front of the launch at Uppers. A small crowd of onlookers enjoyed the show. Silly me, I thought they were watching me practice my duck jibes until I saw him throw a Spocky looking trick. Oh, guess they were watching him.
