Mecca

If you've been windsurfing for any length of time, you know that Maui is, well, pretty much the center of the windsurfing universe. While it wasn't here that the sport was invented, it was here that the sport grew, flourished, and progressed into the short board era that enthralled people across the world. It's where Robby Naish, Josh Stone, Mark Angulo, Mike Waltze, and many other world-famous sailors cut their teeth on sharp coral reefs and jagged shoreline rocks.

Flying over the North Shore yesterday was invigorating - really getting me excited for sailing here.

Today, I'm running around to different shops and distributors, rounding up the gear for the High Wind board test -and hopefully, getting on the water this afternoon. Fingers crossed!!
