Entry 340 - Last Session in Maui for 2016

Entry 329 - Day 7 (The Perfect Week)


It's like the Yeti... folks say it exists yet no one can prove it. I can prove that I've been out seven days in a row surfing! Today wasn't as good as yesterday but I'm not complaining. A little steeper but I dropped in on multiple rights and rode the high line. I am consistently moving around more on the board and getting closer and closer to the nose. My last wave of the session I rode almost chest straight all the way in. Great was to close out a perfect week. Can I go 8 days?

Weather: 64 deg, Partly Cloudy
Conditions: Chest to Head High, Glassy, Fun
Waves Caught: 8
Sea Life: Dolphin (2)

Entry 328 - Day 6 (Keep It Going)


My body just wants to wake up at dawn now! Grabbed the board and the wetsuit and headed out for a 6:15 session at Porto. Very rare for me. Today was definitely the highlight of the week. Lefts and rights. High lines and low lines. Got out a little before 8AM so I could feed the meter for another 1/2 hour - 2hrs total! Just got to ride everything today before high tide brought the lull.

Weather: 64 deg, Cloudy
Conditions: Waist to Chest High, Consistent, Glassy, Awesome
Waves Caught: 12+

Entry 060 - Lahaina Breakwater (Part 3)


Pick up a 9'2" this morning from Boss Frogs instead of the 8'2" I had at the beginning of the week. Much better! Also helped that the surf was up a little more as well. The board didn't have a GoPro mount so I resorted to using the wrist mount again but turned inside - also much better. The Breakwater is nice and the locals are friendly but there's a long wait between good sets. My best ride of the day was a left that I took almost all the way to the other side of the breakwall. Great day!

Entry 015 - Fun Times Two



Fun again today.  Started out a little drizzly but then cleared up to partly cloudy by the time I got out of the water.  Nice a glassy up until around 9 AM when the winds picked up.  Had a good time and caught some nice ones.  I've noticed though that I'm not riding the wave as much and getting off a little too fast in front of the wave when taking off.  Probably need to slow down a bit. On my way in also caught someone riding the nose hanging 5, pretty cool!  Good surf overall and Wednesday is looking pretty good too.  Hopefully I'll get out!


Weather: 55 deg, Partly Cloudy
Conditions: Glassy to Textured (after 9 AM), Corners, Semi-consistent, Fun
Waves Caught: 8
