Funky Friday

I wasn't thinking that we'd get to sail yesterday, but the Maui winds graced us with another day of sailing. Winds and waves were a little bit funky, but it was still fun. I sailed 5.8 and 90L. Wind was a bit yo-yo-ish and the waves had a tendency to kind of peter out. You'd see a nice logo high swell rolling in, jibe to catch it, sail in, watching it rolling in behind you and then it would kind of just disappear. Weird. Temps were a little warmer and it was a sunny day, not too many people out there on there water.

Some one asked the other day in a comment if I had any video of the recent Jaws event on Sunday. I don't but, I found out that Kevin Pritchard, Robby Naish and Jason Polakow sailed it. There's a coupe of photos on the MauiSails site, http://www.mauisails.com/news.php?id=39.

Winds are looking lite today. Weather picture for the next several days looks confusing.

  • Hi Makani,

    great blog and updates!

    I just moved to Maui after living 9 years on Oahu and have to say that I don't regret it at all!

    I sailed 22 days in January alone (wave sails 4.4-5.3 + 77 liter board)! I know this isn't common in January but I wont complain!

    See you on the water,

    Aloha,

    Pascal

  • Check out the video on Charle's site! www.sideshoremedia.com.
    It's mostly towsurfers, but there's a few sailors, and the last 30 seconds has a sequence featuring two famous sailors that should knock you out!
    Enjoy,
    Speedy
