Windsurfing Humanitarianism
You may have seen the article in Windsurfing Magazine and the photos here of Maui’s Jacques Pauvert of Jaques' North Shore restaurant in Paia taking his friend Darren Quinn out for a sail. Here’s some video of them sailing at Kanaha last Saturday.
It’s a dedicated team that makes this happen, including board shaper Richard Greene and many others. These guys have even done downwinders from Maliko Gulch (a boat launch between Hookipa and Jaws) to Kanaha. Pretty damn cool to see many people working so hard to help one other windsurfer get out and get his windsurfing fix.
Meanwhile, back to the wind reports. It's been a pretty wacky wind week here on Maui. Like previous days, yesterday turned out to be pretty squally and up and down. 5.0 to 5.8 was the call, the problem was figuring out when you needed which. Late in the day turned out to be the best as the squalls finally cleared out and the 5.0 winds kicked in for a good while.
