Maui, Hawaiian Islands
Sarah preparing for Pozo. Hi everyone! This month there wasn’t much hope for wind until half way through. The wind kicked in for almost two weeks in a row. The best part was that one week there wouldn’t be any school on Thursday and Friday , soooo we had a loong weekend.....of WINDSURFING!!! It was great! I sailed five days in a row, practicing shove it and actually only shove it. I fell in love with that move! Haha. I just recently started giving classes to kids on Saturday’s and I’m really enjoying it!
Right now I’m practicing for the Aruba Hi-winds competition, which will take place on the 28th of June till July 3rd. There will be Slalom and long distance racing during the week and in the weekend we will have freestyle. There will also be Kitesurfing. After that I’ll be off to the canaries! I registered for Pozo this time! I’m really excited about it, see if I can handle those nuclear winds... Aloha, Sarah-Quita
Good month but no passport for Kevin. The month of May slipped away for me. I had some great training days here on Maui and even some great waves. Maui is not usually the best place for waves in the month of May but this one was really fun. It seemed like the swells just kept rolling in and that was great training for my first big event of the season in Guincho Portugal. I even got to surf at one of my favorite waves in the world, Honoulua Bay. This place when it is good is really, really fun and so that was an added treat for the month.
Now as I speak I am sitting waiting for a new passport to be issued. After waiting for two months to get mine renewed, countless phone calls to see where it was, they told me to fly to Oahu and get in line.. Two more hours and we will see if I actually make it to Portugal at all! Aloha, Kevin.
Despite picking up the training schedule, I have been having a great time here on Maui. Spending time with friends and family has been really great. Rich Foster, Robby Swift and a bunch of friends went sailing on the other side of the island in Kaupo which was really cool. Hopefully the magazines will put it in some of there upcoming issues so look for it! www.mauisails.com | 0
