I am not sure how many times a year it happens ,but today it happens; It is a friday and it is the 13th. I actually am a little bit superstitious! When a lather is standing up; blocking me on the walkway, I will walk around it and not underneath. This is something that I can control. When a black cat stops in front of me and looks at me; I DO think... whoooh... that is a pretty intense black cat, but then... I let it go because I can’t blame the cat for ‘my fortune or future’ cause it’s black. That is actually how far my superstitiousness goes!
My day so far is treating me very well on Friday the 13th.
With a slowly increasing Easterly wind on the north shore of Maui, I thought it was a good idea to head back to the south west side again where I scored great waves yesterday together with Devin and Donna. (a big North swell wrapped around to the south-west side of Maui). The swell had dropped, but there were still fun ‘left over’ waves with at the end... as it seemed a new south swell mixing in...
The Tiki 8’5” by 28 wide (Starboard) is my favorite board for in the waves. I love the feel of how light it is and how well it turns, because it is a lot shorter than your ‘average’ board (around 10’ feet).
Daida ( from the Canary Islands) and her boyfriend Rodrigo joined me. Daida is an inspiration for me in windsurfing as her jumps are sky high - strong - and fearless. Her wave knowledge is also ‘spot on’ from day 1 I saw her and her twin sister (Iballa) windsurf. Now she is here on Maui for ‘the windsurfing season’ and took some of her first waves on a Stand Up with great result (check pics below!). Rodrigo; a pro rugby player from the Canary Islands took his first waves surfing today. He also paddles his first meters on a SUP board!
As you can see, we took the waterproof camera out in the water with us and documented our session.
