March trade wind insanity continued on Maui this last week. Trade winds have been making up for their anemic levels in February by blasting strong every day for the past three weeks. I thought we’d catch a break today with some lighter winds, but turned out to be just another day of insane wind – absolutely, ridiculously overpowered on 4.5.
During all this today, the Starboard and/or Severn team was at Kanaha for their photo shoot – helicopter and all. Get a sneak peak at some new Severne 2012 sails.
Waves for the past week have been wind swell generated surf. Some of it has actually been at a pretty decent angle for Uppers, and pretty fun.
Went up to Hookipa today after my short session, but it was looking pretty crappy – gray skies, light offshore wind on, pretty meager waves and not many people out. So, I didn’t get any photos or video of the action at Hookipa but there’s been a lot of photos of that action from the last few days:
