After a few light days, the trade winds returned to Maui on Friday, bringing us a spectacular day of wind, waves and sunshine. A late season north swell brought us head- to logo-high waves at Uppers and the trades wind antied up some nice 5.0 wind. Warm temps and sunny skies rounded out an epic day of sailing at Kanaha. Hookipa was also firing with logo- to mast-high sets. Days like these are what help define Maui as the mecca of windsurfing.

Yesterday, the waves dropped in size a little bit and the wind compensated by kicking in a little more. After some squally conditions in the early afternoon, skies cleared out and we once again had beautiful conditions. Winds were in the 4.5 range for most guys, 4.0 for the ladies. Waves mostly around head high or so. Uppers was packed with windsurfers vying for their piece of rideable water.
