In off for my second aloha windsurf clinic on Sunday. 7 days in paradise. just thought you should know

sweet. enjoy :)

I red thumbed you just 'cos I'm jealous : )

Enjoy! More "loop" training? Loved your video from June!

I'll be at the June 2015 clinic : ))))))

The life of the jet set hay. The only way I can get there is in my imagination.

I'll have some coldies in the fridge for you when you arrive Yup. See you there. I can't wait.

(Please red thumb as much as possible. Gloating should be discouraged amongst this fraternity).

Aren't you worried about the tsunami that is predicted?

Cool, I'll be sailing Exmouth on Sunday

Already done Maui

Make it a bud light.

mike. You need to put it out there that you will be doing your first forward loop.

ill be doing loop number two! Hopefully a loop and not just a number two

Im soooo pumped. Don't think I can sleep

I'm at Sydney airport about to fly to Maui. I rang the shop to confirm my hire gear. They said, "dude best week ever. You will need nothing bigger than a 5.0. And there are waves galore!!"

Life is good

Hope he's not telling porkies

I green thumbed all the posts...

Stoke needs to be shared

Day 1

12 windsurfers at this year's aloha clinic. A good mix of levels. Girls and guys.

i met mike (hi mike), Chris from hood river and a lady from bamuda.

Together we are all aiming for forward loops. Plenty of wind and waves. And most likely plenty of excuses.

today i was on a 5.1 with a 96l board. All powered up. Man I'm sore. 5 hours of wave sailing takes it out of you.

oops. Sorry. You are all at work aren't you?

did I mention the water is really warm

Hey yuppy whats the theory behind using such a big board? Your only a light weight right?

Last couple of times in Maui I only needed an 80L board max

Hi jman

last year I met Levi silver the week before he won the aloha classic at Hookipa. He rides an 85l board. Most pros ride about 5 or 10 litres more than their body weight in the waves. I'm taking their lead.

Pros - I'm taking 10-15 then

Have a great trip, looking forward to some more pics - go pro mast mount?

view from my balcony in the morning. wind picked up to 25knots this afternoon.

the launch spot is on the left

The local town is paia. Excellent food.

This is is a typical building. It's not flash but has a very chilled out vibe.

That looks awful. You poor guy.

If you were in Sydney you could have experienced heaps more wind this last day. You missed out!

Looks excellent Yuppie, look forward to more learning to loop videos, really enjoyed watching the last journey!!! Keep paying out I enjoy your twisted sense of humour.

Keep the posts coming Yuppie!!! Bombard us with photos!!!
I miss Maui too much! I have separation issues with an island.
Top tip- pork pizza at Flat Bread.

My hands are in much better shape this year. I discovered you can by antibiotic cream in Safeway! Awesome stuff. I put it on each night. Lots of band aids.

my second forward loop still alludes me. We had a none plane day yesterday so it was all about light wind wave sailing.

today the forecast looks perfect for forwards. Fingers crossed. Balls enlarging. Heart rate rising.
