Good fun today, very inside line.  One of the waves (in by the airport) was curving almost at me, so that was the limit for inside.  0.45 miles out at the airport.  Summer runs are so much fun.  Odds are good I'll get mowed this year.  It's irresistable in there.  A bit more wind and it would have been breaking all around.

Nice! And what a line! That looks like Victor's winter line, but then he's both fearless and nuts.

And doesn't have a rudder.

Yesterday was pretty fun. You had to work for the glides, but there were plenty of them. The lefts were the call, which lead me to a line that was as far in as I have ever gone.  Better line for the tanks, than the harbor. Glad to have a rudder at the end.

I'm off to the NW for a couple weeks, and the wind is back...bummed, but hoping that I can make it up t the gorge on the 9th of June. Bill, I'm sure your still recovering, but I'd love some local knowledge! 

Let's all start planning M2M!  See you all soon.

Mi Casa, su casa buddy. Give me a call when you get here. If nothing else I'll set you up with gear and guys to go with. Might even shuttle you. The same phone number works--you have my cell.

South bay, sounds like he's gonna adopt you. You'll have a  blast but don't let him stock you on an old moldy board. There are a few cherries in his fleet but you'll have to look carefully. Haha haha!

Odds are good I'll get mowed this year.  It's irresistible in there. 

Well, that didn't take long.  Got mowed on the black dot. 

Little string that holds my leash untied.  3 minute swim felt like 30.

Nice windsurfer gal held my ski for me.  I was hoping for a face picture so I could identify her, but this is all I have.  If anyone recognizes this outfit, could you PM me.  I'd like to send her some flowers.  She really saved my bacon. 

Super fun day.  Nary a slipper went missing.  Nice wake up call.

Wow Larry.  Thank god she showed up, and thank god for the people responsible for the miniaturization of the bikini.

Seriously, that is exactly where I would not want to have lost my board. I've seen a decent amount of sea life there.

Very fun run.   The knock down was pretty mild.  I had just missed a glide and lost hull speed.  I was a bit arrogant not to turn straight to the beach and prepare  for a potential foamy wave.  The white water snuck up on me, but I should have anticipated it in that spot.  Better to ride a wave in too far than get broadsided. 

Pics look exciting, but it was a minor wave.  I almost held on but fell to the left and rolled under the boat.  Hat and glasses leash worked well.  Super fun day. 











More clues on my rescuer.  The boat was rolling, so I didn't notice these pics before.

Yes, Maliko runs are finally in full swing! I'm going every day in case anybody wants to join me. I'm game for either a Maliko to Sugar Cove run, or a Maliko-to-harbor run. My contact info is here: railsonmaui.com/about

Another fun run today.  Blue skies, blue water, smooth sailing.

Surprisingly good conditions today.  I wasn't expecting much, but the wind direction and tide were working just right.  Very predictable, groomed conditions made for an easy, fast run.   

The outrigger paddler is Austin Talley.  He's a teenager and very fast.  He was taking it easy today, so I tagged along for a few shots.  He's on a Storm.  That boat weighs less than 19 pounds, total.  Note how easy it picks up glides.  Super fun across the reef.
