Rain

This weekend's plethora of wind has turned into a dearth of wind with lots of clouds and rain showers on Maui. Looks like we're in a pattern of lots of moisture and rain over the Hawaiian islands for the next several days. At least on Maui we're being spared the flooding conditions on Kauai and Oahu. But still, this March is starting to look a lot like last March - light on wind and heavy on the clouds and rain.

Yesterday was actually sailable if you timed it right and went to the right place. I spoke with Jazz (the guy doing the table top in the photo at the top of the page) last night at his birthday bash and he said he sailed Hookipa yesterday for about an hour. He said it was really offshore wind but fun since there were only about 4 other guys out. Meanwhile, Dave Blythe, the guy that took that photo of Jazz tried sailing Kanaha but ended up swimming in down by the canoe hale (house) at Kanaha.

Today, was a no wind day. Looks like the same tomorrow as well. The buzz around the Maui windsurfing society this week is that Jace Panebianco, Levi Siver and company just returned back to Maui from the Cape Verde Islands were they reportedly scored some epic swell with huge, glassy clean barrels. Word is that they captured this on film and video. Look for the photos in upcoming mags and video sure to be released by Jace's video studio.
