Light Wind for the Die-hards

Winds today were mostly pretty light and onshore at Kanaha. Winds peaked around 20 mph. With onshore winds I find I am only marginally powered on a 5.8 in those conditions. So, 6.0+ sails were probably the call today. Skies were gray and we had several light showers too, so conditions weren't too appealing. On the plus side there was some small swell on the north shore.

I received a pretty cool video today of local sailor Norm Roediger sailing with his son Bant at Kanaha. It's always cool seeing little Bant sailing around, even in gnarly windy conditions, with his dad following along behind him, but what makes this video extra cool is a humpback whale breeching in the background - just outside the break from the looks of it. The video is huge, 9.5 MB, but if you have a high-speed connection check out "Whale Splash" at MauiWindsurfing.net.
