Crazy day! Got the kids a soft top surfboard and went to Launiupoko Beach Park to do some surfing and Sup. Kai grabbed the surfboard and went out first, I was getting ready and looked up to see him riding in his first wave all the way to the beach. Kai says to me "I like this beach", ten minutes later he steps on a sea urchin, now he definitely doesn't like this beach! Got him home and his foot looked after when I thought I might head to Kanaha to Sup. Checked the webcam and it was windy! Scrambling to load the car I bump into Bernd Roediger in the parking lot, awesome! Got to Kanaha Kai and grabbed a new firelight 5.7 and a 109 Kode. Was rigged and ready to go and the wind totally dies. Waited around for about an hour talking to Johnny and Craig. They decided to go get bigger gear and then the wind came back, light but awesome, again! Headed out with some cheers from the locals and actually had the break to myself for about 20 minutes then Johnny and Craig came back out and it was us 3 from Vancouver with the place to ourselves for a while.
Wind was light but I managed to score a few nice wave rides, awesome, again!
Aloha Maui!
PS Kai is feeling much better tonight, good thing he was wearing booties!
