Sunday Afternoon

Turned out to be a pretty fun day of sailing today. Nothing epic as far as waves go, but a good, solid, fun day nonetheless. Got on the water shortly after noon on 5.0 and 90L and only had to share Uppers with half a dozen other sailors initially. Waves were mostly small and a bit junky, but a few head high sets rolled in occasionally. Combine that with bright sunshine, warm temps and you have all the makings for a great Sunday here on Maui.

Around 1:00 the wind kicked in a notch, and the 5.0 was a handful. Went out on 4.5 and a demo 78L Tabou Pocket wave. Perfect combo. Fun, fun board. The waves had dropped a bit and it was almost summer conditions with strong winds and backside riding at Uppers.

Didn't take long before the tank was empty though and I opted to give the body a rest and snap some photos. Team Gaastra/Tabou was out testing some gear today and I got a couple of shots of Matt Pritchard and Ross Williams blasting around. Though I think they were testing speed more than anything else, looks like Matt couldn't help but throw down a spock. Gearing up for his upcoming quest for a 3-peat of the Super-X title no doubt.

Looks like we should get another couple of days of trades at least.
