The first day of the forecasted week+ of bonkers wind. :)
No groundswell today therefore no point in tackling the more complicated
launches at the wavier beaches so sailed at tropical paradise beach. We
checked out Uppers first but the waves there were a complete mess - worse
than Hove on a good day. Sailed downwind to Lowers which was much better.
The swell was small but the occasional boom high set did push in and as
before at Kanaha the waves were really clean. I began the day on the 4.5
then changed down to a 4.2 Superfreak on rental from Hotsails Maui for the
day. Wow! What a sail. Soooo light yet stable and comfortable in the
howling gale and on the wave wowser wowser wowser. The sail goes absolutely
completely neutral - I was completely surfing the waves at times as if I
didn't have a sail at all. I am now seriously considering a quiver
update...
A solid 4 star session with plenty of 5 star moments - all of them on the
Superfreak.
