Windsurfing: Kanaha Wind Direction: Wind Stength: NE Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered:
The wind was light at Kanaha until past midday today. Grey overcast skies made it look generally crap out there however we heard a
rumour that there was wind over the other side of the island at Kihei. So instead of mincing around at Kanaha we decided to drive over
to take a look.
But Kihei was windless. Not a breath. And what a dump. We drove straight back to Kanaha to find...
Honking!!! WTF!?! How could it be suddenly so windy here yet flat calm only 10 miles away...???
Well thank feck we did return as Kanaha delivered a stonker of a session. Sailed for 3 hours non-stop without a break. 4.5 was
perfection from beginning to end. I want to marry my Superfreak. The swell was smaller but some half-mast sets were still pushing in
and much much cleaner than the past few days. (I'm coming to the conclusion that Lowers can't hold anything bigger than half-mast.)
Perfect go-for-it conditions. Tried loads of stuff. Long mellow drawn out turns, short snappy cut backs, aerials, floaters...soooo much
fun. Scored probably my best wave of the trip so far, a solid 5 turn head-higher that had me screaming with childish excitement as I
kicked off. I was getting pretty knackered towards the end and my sailing was suffering as a result but I kept on picking out the set
waves so could not stop. Eventually fatigue and the (relatively...) chilly temps got the better of me. And now I'm spent.
10 in a row. More please. :)
