Curbing da enthusiasm

As many of you know, when it's windy here on Maui there are two different options for downwind surfing depending on wind direction.  Some days both sides of Maui are excellent!  But there are also some days when it's nuking and both sides are marginal.

Like this last week.  There has been mega winds but on the N side, early season swells from multiple angles have made Maliko runs like dodge ball with very little rewarding aspects.  On the S side the wind has been shearing offshore from about mid-way on our shortest run and smokin' out to god knows where, certainly no landed areas.  Some windsurfers reported gusts to 60.  This kind of velocity and WD is nothing to mess around with.

We venture out in a certain degree of uncontrolled environment and I guess in one way we're like Trump in avoiding solo press conferences.  There's a limit to how much exposure we want to have where our focus is held accountable.

I wanna do it on Maui someday......but it's gotta be a group with an experienced leader and a backup boat or jetski. It's looks like great fun and adventure......but only if you get to come back home.

You don't need a boat, but you do need a guide. Mr. Headmount will get you to the other end in one piece. He has the patience and the expertise. Reasonable too. Guys like me are terrible guides.

We finally got a great south side run today!
