Just had a great session with a friend of mine- he has been asking about learning the forward loop for a long time! He was ready and made it happen..... Just wanted to share it with you guys and hopefully you can learn a thing or two!

It's been raging lately here on Maui! The waves have been pretty small but that is typical this time of year. Every now and then the wind swell kicks up and there is some fun to be had! Both Kev and I have been pretty busy getting caught up after getting back from Santa Cruz. I was gone for 3 weeks and it normally takes me about that amount of time to catch back up! So life is good, the sun is shining and if you haven't gotten out on the water yet this year, now is the time! Get your GAME ON!
Shawna and I are about to start our 2nd Aloha Windsurfing CLinic for this year and the forecast is looking GREAT! We have a lot of repeat guests which is always a complement and look forward to meeting new faces! If you are thinking of coming to Maui one day, let us know!!!

Had a great bike ride the other day with my friend Daniel- Check out the views of this amazing island that we are so blessed to live on..... We are so spoiled over here! Hope you guys are having a great spring!

See you in the wind : }

Enjoy.

Man, it just doesn't get better than this. Wind, waves, and sick action. It was great having Levi and Brawz and the best guys in the world battle it out in great conditions. If you dont believe me check out the action, here.

Just a quick update to say thanks to Punta San Carlos and the AWESOME crew of WaveCampers we had this last week. We had a GREAT time, got to hit some lips, teach some tricks, ride some bikes and eat great food! The wind played games with us for a couple days but we got out there pretty much everyday. The whales and dolphins also showed us some impressive tricks! Here are a couple photos of me and my right hand man, KSMAC testing the conditions making sure they were good enough for everyone!

Just back from a great weekend in Dallas. Wasnt too much wind but there was still tons of fun. It is always nice to get to meet some new people and have a good time and boy do they have fun in Texas. Everyone down there was just awesome. Aris at Mariner Sails runs a great program down there and there is no lack of his enthusiasm for having a great time.  Terry from the North Texas Wind Riders was the boss down there getting everything set up and torn down and moving everything around. Jet made the party just tons of fun with some great tunes all night long.

Thanks for the great times and hope to see you guys again soon!

This weekend is the Texas State Championships, and I am here and ready to have some fun. If you want to come out and check it out it should be a ton of fun. The wind looks good at the moment and we have some new Ezzy Sails and Starboard boards. We are teamed up with Mariner Sails for the weekend and should be some big fun for all!

My Aussie mates were over for the past 2 weeks of EXCELLENT windsurfing conditions... if you haven't noticed we have been a little slack on the blog updates.... that is because Kev has been Starboard photo shooting and I have been busy as ever showing people some new tricks!

It has been almost 2 years of talk with my buddy David about getting his kid Ben out on the water!  I threw Benny boy on my back for a blast on the 6.9 Cross and Rocket 125! It was blowing a good 25 knots, most of the boys were on 4.7's pretty wound up so I figured we should have no excuses for going slow. I wanted to give Benny the ride of his life out there, we had talked about doing a forward loop but decided (with his mom's input) to wait till next year!

Thanks to the CLEW VIEW, I got some pretty cool clips!!!

Got a couple nice shots at Baldwin Beach the other day. Would look great on someone's wall I think.
