Lame Wind

The wind today was wallowing in lameness. A showery, light wind morning put the damper on windsurfing enthusiasm. Noon came and the wind was barely managing to hit the upper teens. But, early afternoon the iWindsurf graph hit 20 and the coast was clearing. Surely it's going to build now, I thought. I finished up some business and scrambled down to Kanaha to find very, very marginal conditions. The wind was barely in the low teens. As it turned out, the anomolous reading of 20 would be the high point of the day. Barely managed to make a 5.8 and big board plane when I went out.

Yesterday was a bit better, 5.0 from what I hear. Tuesday afternoon we saw strong 4.0 for me, gusty, but not as bad as the previous day. Waves the last few days have been pretty much non-existant. I'm sure I speak for a lot of Maui windsurfers when I say I can't wait for summer to be over. Sure it blows every day just about, but we're really starting to miss any of the three-dimensionality (waves) that we love so much about Maui windsurfing.
