November in Maui

When the pineapple express hit Vancouver hard in late November-torrential rains and warm weather from the mid Pacific, it's time for some Maui winds!

Roland Lewis, a realtor buddy and I headed to Maui with our beautiful respective partners, Anne Marie & lovely Lisa in tow for a Hawaiian vacation.

I was looking forward to riding some real waves on my the Wainman 6'1'surfboard which I had picked up earlier in the fall from Chris at Kite Naked and I wasn't disappointed. While we were there we made the obligatory pilgrimage to Jaws and it was going off! very impressive to see firsthand.

Seems like when its warm and rainy here in Vancouver the weather is perfect for trade winds and waves in Maui! (take note-winks).

We pretty much kited every day on 9m or smaller and rode surfboards the whole time! Yea baby!
As usual the Smoke ruled and so did the Gypsy 6.5! (Awesome kites, give em a demo.)
Woo hooo- perfect timing for this trip!

see pics and drop me a note on the blog about your winter vacation!
