Wake up, answer emails, go sailing, eat, more emails then crash out. Maui is unbelievable, we haven’t missed a day yet and the biggest sail I’ve used was a 6.2 and that was only one morning at Ho’okipa. That should wind my mates up back home, while true, there’s also a bunch of work that fits in-between answering emails and going sailing but who’s going to believe that.
It doesn’t matter who you bring out to Maui they all say its perfect and two weeks feels like four. Island life generally starts early, even for those who normally cant get out off bed.
Not being able to windsurf before 11am works well with the early start for some sigh seeing which makes this the perfect location for those with families or non windsurfing partners. While it seems odd to have a rule to stop you windsurfing before 11 am, it’s one that nature seems to work well with.
Surfers have the waves to themselves before 11 am when they are glassy and windless, the wind quickly fills in and we’re good to go. That time line doesn’t come quickly enough on your first day here but give it a few day and most are putting there launch time off until the after noon.
With the wind not easing until after 6pm there’s more windsurfing time than most can cope with. If you’re here for two weeks you could do something different every day and still windsurf until your arms drop off.
Now if that sounds perfect just imagine everyone’s delight at hearing we have to stay longer. While we sail in perfect conditions, the ash in the air at home seems to be extending out stay, what a shame.
