Tuesday afternoon

I was mainly finding good angles for Fred Pompermayer. Check out Here

No dia de abertura quem abriu o mar foram os Baianos Kadu e Kevin! Com o mar ganhando tamanho durante o dia,  o mad dog crew apareceu no outside tambem. Marcio, Danilo e Yuri pegaram as suas.

There was too many guys, but I can't forget to say about the Maui Boyz, the girls Keala and Paige and The Insane Shane!

Wednesday - Kite Mission


The waves were still good before the wind. check out Greg's Wave:

Quando Eu e Fernando chegamos no Outside, o vento comecou a morrer. Regularmente montamos o Kite no canal e subo upwind ate a onda. Mas dessa vez foi diferente. Montamos o kite passando upwind da onda. Meu plano era vir downwind mirando uma bomba e largar o kite e botar pra dentro do barrel! Nao aconteceu bem assim ainda. Mas peguei uma menor e soltei o kite. O verdadeiro Tow-in sozinho!

Com o vento abaixando desmontamos o kite, e ainda pude pegar as ultimas ondas do swell rebocado por Tide Rivers.

Conclusao:  Kite em Peahi eh mto dificil, tow-in eh mais fun que paddle in, mas eu preciso fazer uma gunzeira nova!

Another day at the Office

KSP Hookipa

Last couple days I had a blast at Hookipa. The windsurf crowd finally left the island. And the end of the season still gave us a little NE swell. 

I'm so stoked to be part of the invitational trials for the Hookipa KSP Tour Event. This December, the international windsurf spot will be a world kitesurf wave arena. The very first kitewave event there. We had the King of the Air before, but that one was a freestyle competition.

I can't wait!

Downwind Run

This time, I left my car at Kanaha and took a ride with Marcio and Jacob till lanes. On my way down the coast I could see Marcio,and we cruise on thoses bumps for a little bit. But Jabob, he was gone already!! One of the best paddlers on the island, was trying to bit his personal record from the maliko run. Plenty wind, cool bumps, lots of waves, different breaks and beaches and awesome views. The video end at Maliko, where Marcio took his car. The Music is Right Time, from The Alliez, where Jacob is the singer!
