Stormy Weather

A cold front swept through the islands today bringing wet, light winds to both north shore and Kihei. Skies were cloudy all day with off and on showers. Wind got into the upper teens and occasional low 20s at Kanaha but was pretty onshore - meaning it was pretty light sailing.

I invoked my wind snob clause, choosing not to sail in rain and cloudy conditions. Been there. Done that.

In local windsurfing industry news, The Team members and former Gaastra members Barry Spanier, Phil McGain and Kevin Pritchard have gone to (or resurrected?) Maui Sails. I think they will make quite a stir at least here on Maui. I know lots of people who are/were former Gaastra fans, but now that The Team is no longer with Gaastra, they are pledging to follow them to Maui Sails. I expect when Maui Sails starts getting their sails out later this spring we'll start seeing them at the beach quite a bit. For more info about Maui Sails see their website www.mauisails.com.
