Hookipa Video
We had a request awhile ago for some video of Hookipa - a panning shot. I mentioned this to Norm and he sent the following video, probably not exactly what our viewer had in mind, but it does show a broader view of Hookipa in the beginning of the clip.

The star of this clip is Norm's 8 year old son. Yep, 8 years old and sailing Hookipa. How cool is that!
In case you missed Norm's comment, he sailed Kihei this week on the big south swell and has some video footage from that - he'll be sending that along once he's edited it.
Speaking of that south swell, it's being called the south swell of the decade here on Maui. Word is that Freight Trains had 15 foot faces. I may see one of the west side locals today to find out how the west side was. S-Turns was probably epic.
Back to windsurfing... winds yesterday once again were quite strong - 4.0 to 4.5 range for me. Weather was a bit unsettled, gray, showers and squalls passing through. Waves were back to just wind swell, but they were pretty fun at Uppers.
Today, the skies are clear. It's a sunny gorgeous day here in paradise. Winds are already in the mid-teens at Kanaha. Forecast is for good wind today. Should be a beautiful day to get out on the water.

Enough already we know that Norm's kid can sail but how much more of this self-promotion do we have to put up with.

As owner of this blog, I generally want to try to grow the viewing audience. However, I gotta say, Mr. Anonymous's comment pretty much pissed me off. Here's some guidelines for you.
If you don't like what's on the blog:
a) You don't HAVE to put up with anything. Feel free to browse elsewhere.
b) Create your own Maui windsurfing blog and come up with content on a regular basis
c) If you see a video posted by someone you're tired of seeing or about something your tired of reading about, you don't HAVE to view it.
I think taking anonymous cheap pot shots at our contributors and their family is pretty weak.
Personally, I'm grateful to everyone who sends me content. If Norm sends me more video of his son sailing, I'll post it if I feel like it. After all, it's my blog and that's what blogs are about. I'd love to get more people to send in contributions. Until they do, you can either put up with it, ignore it, or browse elsewhere.
