Number 5 in a series of clips from Thursday’s Hookipa action. This one features Jason Polakow, Nick Baker, Ross Williams and Kevin Pritchard in a hard-fought semi-final heat late in the afternoon. Speaking of Kevin Pritchard, Kevin was gracious enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to let me interview him recently. I’ll be posting that interview later.
As for sailing, it was another light trade wind day today. Whether it was sailable or not depends where you draw the line. I had enough work to do today that I drew the line at 20. It almost made it, with winds in the mid- to upper-teens, but not quite enough for me to bail on work. Tomorrow may be a different story though. Forecast is for much the same conditions wind-wise, so I might get tempted to pull out the 5.7 and play on the declining small north swell we’ve got while the rest of the US sits airports and airplanes. Aaaaah. It’s good to be on Maui during the holidays.
