Seems like winds this May on Maui have been more like March. We've had several days in a row of pretty light winds. The forecast today was looking pretty sketchy too, but upon checking all the beach weather data this morning it was apparent that the trades had filled back in. Turned out to be a pretty nice day of sailing. Lots of action happening at Kanaha with Team Tabou/Gaastra demoing the 2006 Gaastra Manic wave sales and Tabou Da Curve boards. Gotta say, both are pretty sweet. The Manics are incredibly light and smooth and the Da Curve is a fun lively, loose wave machine.

The park cleared out early today as everyone wanted to get over to Kanaha Kai Maui's first birthday party just up the road. Scores of people showed up for ono grinds, raffle and give aways and outdoor video screening projected onto the side of a big white van.

Now that the trades seem to have re-established themselves, it looks like we should get some nice wind for a few days.
