Windsurfing Videos

Introducing Maui Windsurfing Blog windsurfing videos! Though Blogger.com (the service that hosts this blog) doesn't currently host videos, I've recently revamped the AikiMaui site to have a section on Windsurfing News where I can put windsurfing videos. I've just posted a couple of videos shot by local Kanaha windsurfer Steve Robinson of Kevin Ozee foilboarding at Kanaha and a really sick video of Kevin Pritchard throwing a one-handed, one-footed backloop at Ho'okipa during the recent PWA contest. Check out the videos here.

As for wind recently, we had some pretty sweet conditions on Sunday with sunny skies, nice waves and strong wind in the mid- to upper-20s. Monday the winds started turning more easterly making for gustier sailing, and I heard that winds yesterday were "evil." I suspected they might be since the wind was so east and offshore. I didn't even bother going down. Today is also looking like it might be pretty wacky.

In windsurfing shop news, some local kooks drove their 4Runner into local windsurfing shop Hi-Tech and stole some surf boards and clothing. Police caught up with them in a cane field where they recovered at least some of the boards and got the vehicle, but not the thieves. I'd suggest going to the Maui News website to find more details, but their site seems to be down currently.
