With limited time, I was only able to get a few days in before flying back to Maui. I managed to score a nuclear 3.7 day at the Hatchery over the 4th of July weekend. That was really fun, and quite intense. Control is always an issue when it’s blowing 40kts! There were plenty ramps to be had, and lots of rolling swells to carve.

All in all it was a great trip, and I even got to see the Windsurfing Movie II premier. It’s an awesome flick, and everyone should see it when it’s fully released.

Since we have got back to Maui we have had a couple good saling days at Ho’okipa recently.  Waves were overhead and the wind was 4.7 up and down slightly onshore.  The quad handles so well.  The board accellerated well to be able to do high power bottom turns and big lip smacks/airs.
