Downwind and Racing / Crazy? Need some advice from some Maui locals

« on: May 24, 2015, 06:37:52 AM »

Turns out, I am going to be in Maui during the Maui to Molokai race.  I am a strong flat water paddler but don't really know how to surf.  Toying with the idea of trying the race (with a chase boat).  Is it stupid to even consider?  The distance doesn't concern me.  I just don't want to end up in the water the whole time.  Figure it would be a hell of an experience.

I always wondered why the vortices stuck around for so long. 

I wonder what winglets on a konihi do, accentuate, decrease the effect?

You may need a pfd but at least you get a tax break in Rhode Island.

They have O and E SUP bags for about 50 bucks after coupon.  Good deal on traction pads too but I don't need any right now.  Nice Dakine SUP bag too.

There is a great hat that might be good for those SUPing in short board territories.  Only 6 bucks after coupon.
