The trade winds picked up a notch or two yesterday, enough for me to be able to get out on my 5.7 at Uppers. A fairly good sized northwest swell was running yesterday with the bigger sets in the logo- to mast-high range. The sets got a bit less consistent as the day progressed. By [...]
As windsurfers, we play in and on the water. As water men and women we should appreciate the value of this resource more than the regular public and do our part to educate ourselves about ocean issues and take action where we can. For that reason, I believe it is my responsibility to help inform [...]

Back into light wind mode again here on Maui for the past few days. Trade wind strength has dropped quite a bit. Not to say that it’s been totally unsailable the last few days – lighter than I’m willing to try, but there’s definitely folks out making the effort. Winds have come up to the [...]
Mixed bag of sailing these last several days on Maui. Saturday brought a little stronger wind than Friday – barely/marginally powered on 5.3. A lot of work to make it up to the mellow, waist-high, crowded waves at Uppers.
After being a bit underpowered the previous two days on 5.7 and 5.3, the wind made up [...]
Definitely been a lighter than normal October so far, with super light winds on the north shore for about the last two weeks. Kihei has been about the only place with decent wind and even it has been too light to sail on some days.
I finally got back on the water at Kanaha yesterday after [...]
Light trade winds returned yesterday and I set out on a north shore search for the best conditions. I thought the best shot for powered up sailing would be Kihei and that turned out to be the case, but Kihei rarely appeals to me. I started out by checking Hookipa since the iWindsurf readings there [...]
Sitting around on Saturday morning waiting for the wind to come. Got an idea the other day to do something useful with some of the photos I take – make computer desktop wallpaper images. Better yet, why not to it monthly and add the calendar for that month! So, I know we’re already a third [...]
When’s the wind coming back? What’s the forecast for the weekend? Next week? As those of you who are here now or coming to Maui soon on your windsurfing vacations know, our trade winds have pulled a disappearing act. We feasted on trade winds from June through the end of September with scarcely a day [...]
Definitely a change in the weather today and likely for much of this week from what we’ve been having on Maui lately. A light and variable wind pattern has taken a firm hold over the state of Hawaii bringing light onshore winds all around the island. We’ve had a good run of wind up until [...]
