The smokin spring and summer Maliko report

[covesurfer]

Great video Peter! I just watched it on FB, like the edits and mixing up activities. Great to have your group so close together when you're shooting too. Looks like lots of fun!

Excellent video Peter, nice editing.  Great to see the off water shots and maliko fun. 

We had good conditions Saturday. 

[LaPerouseBay]

Great conditions on the south shore.

Wow LPB, those conditions in your video above make the Bay look pretty tame...awesome South Shore!

Nice one JC, those are some long rides.  I love the remount video.  You cold water guys don't waste any time getting back in the boat!

Aloha everyone on this thread, I am looking to do my very first Maliko run on  Sep 4th , Can anyone recommend who I should contact to help me out on my virgin run please? 
Does JRiggs help out newbies?, I have an old 12'2" Laird ( some have told me this would work). I SUS, prone surf and ride whatever I can , I just have never done a Maliko DW'r and would like to give it a try especially before the winter swells start rolling in. Would appreciate any help in who to go with , I don't really want to solo my first run. Patrick you like take me? , only problem it's on a Wed.  Thanks so much
Aloha !!

Jeremy does take newbs, and he has boards you can use.  You could use the laird, but you'll get more glides and have more fun with a 14 Bullet (Jeremy has one you can use I believe).  Jeremy is a great guy, obviously super knowlageable, and you don't want to mess around with Maliko!  Have fun!

Great Thanks so much SB , I'll get in touch with JR, I agree I don't want to mees with Maliko solo.

Mahalo nui loa !!

You might try Headmount as well, I think he's still doing guided runs. PM him here. Jeremy is very good for teaching, and he's patient. Bill is more oriented to making sure you have a fun run and don't get into trouble.

Thanks PB, I think HM might be too intense for me , I was thinking of asking him , but after seeing those pics of his early days , I think he might be more of a drill sargent on me,( boy, I said boy ,what's taking you so long? lol) just kidding HM, I would be honored to hang out with you. I'm not as young as I once was and don't know if I can keep up.  I sent JR a message on his blog, I'll see if he's available .  Thanks for the replies and advice.
Aloha and A Hui Ho!! 

[Southbay]

Agreed Pono. Headmount is the man out there!  Looking forward to meeting you when you get back on this side.

Chefboy,I did my first Downwinder at Maliko in July and employed the Services of HeadMount.From the moment i met him at Kahalui Harbour right through the 10 miles of Maliko ,He was very thorough and very competent ,covering all my questions and everything else he thought i should know.I would say he is a great Teacher!!
