Brilliant sunshine, a small out of season north swell and decent 20mph trades brought out the crowds to Hookipa. With the potential of a north swell plus Kanaha not looking that good, I headed straight to [...]

Winds on Maui have turned a bit “light” again on the north shore, with guys my size needing 5.7s and 5.8s at Kanaha yesterday. It was light enough that I didn’t bother either yesterday or today. Now, I realize that when I say the wind has turned light that that’s a very relative term. Light [...]
