Summer Waves

I returned to Maui in August, and have been blessed with top notch conditions throughout the period.  I have been sailing almost every day.  There has been a steady supply of small windswell waves to play with, and more recently a large out of season North swell arrived.  The North swell provided some really epic conditions with 4.2 winds and logo to mast high+ waves breaking across the reefs.  It was nice to have good power in the sail giving opportunity for massive jumps and powerful waverides.

I was having a great time when I crashed on a pushloop.  My foot got twisted and yanked out of the footstrap injuring some ligaments.  Fortunately I do not have any broken bones and look to be back on the water soon.  For now, it is a very sore foot and no sailing.

I did get a few nice pictures of sailing, prior to my foot injury on that day.  The water shots were taken by Dave Baker.  He can be found at http://hotsurfphotos.com/view_photog.php?photogid=3.  The jump was provided by OES Australia Maui.

See ya on the water,

Russ
