Santa brought an early Christmas present to us yesterday on Christmas Eve - wind. Everyone who ended up sailing at Kanaha yesterday was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of wind. The wind was in the low 20s most of the afternoon, though it was pretty east/offshore, making for a helluva a slog out to the wind line. I had to slog all the way out through the Weird Wave on my CultWave and 5.0 just to get planable wind. Once out there though it was nice. Some nice residual swell to play in and head high to logo high surf at Uppers.

Everyone was all smiles at the end of the day and speculating about whether we would get to sail on Christmas day or not. So far, it's not looking promising today, but you never know.

Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) to all you Maui Wind Blog readers out there!
