Maui Winds Crank

Winds on Maui cranked up again into the nuclear category, averaging over 30 mph in the afternoon, sending many windsurfers to the beach with their tails between their legs. For most who did venture out, it was mostly just survival windsurfing in the blasting conditions.

Yesterday's Maui windsurfing video featured 8 year old Bernd Roediger sailing at Hookipa. As it turns out, Bernd's windsurfing at Hookipa the last few days has set an unofficial record for the youngest windsurfer to sail there. According to 10 year old Kalani Hunt, he was the previous record-holder when he sailed at Hookipa at last year's Aloha Classic when he was then 9 year's old. Today's video, "Hookipa Record" features Kalani sailing comfortably switch stance in yesterday's raging conditions.
