Ho'okipa Spy

Diony hanging out

It was a nice uncrowded day at Ho`okipa, the wind was a little light but Diony and Glenn were killing it.

Diony on Fire

It was nice to see Ho'okipa uncrowded again. It can get pretty hectic with all the pros in town for their photo shoots. It seems like they'll do anything short of killing you to get that shot, but hey its their job.

Below is a little slide show of a few more of the day's rippers.

Kanaha Spy

Jip before his first session in Kanaha

Our friend Hessel has been down at Kanaha doing a little spying while he lets his foot heal. He caught Jip, the new HSM intern) as he tests some Fires and demos some boards from the shop.

Lets see if Hessel heals quickly from his injured foot or keep a watchful eye on Maui beaches for the next few days.

Hi everybody

To those of you who do not know me, I am a Danish girl, who started going to Maui in the summer 2006, where Jeff let me stay in his house, to windsurf and get to know Maui.
After having such a nice time in Maui I went home and convinced some of my good friends to come with me after finishing high school. So, fall 2007 I returned to Maui with my friends, and we all rented a house in Paia and stayed for 3 months.
This spring I went back to Maui again to train some more.

Last Maui Sunset

But today I got back home after 8 months of traveling to Maui, Fiji, Australia and then again sweet Maui. Had the most fantastic year, with soo much fun and soo much nice windsurfing. Can’t believe it’s already over… gone by so fast.

Juliana freestylin'

My trip home was hell, being super sad to leave, and then had a 13 hour stay in LA all by myself… but then I could think back of the nicest months, all the nice people I have met, and the last couple of weeks, which has been really fun!

Da Butterfly wahines

Soo, since I promised Juan to post a week ago, here comes some photos from my last weeks in maui…



I will keep posting from back home and till returning to Maui in the fall. If the pictures is looking kind of cold and grey in the beginning of my upcoming posts it’s because it’s still cold back here… cant wait to get my first session on the Danish waters again, but God it looks cold!!

Aloha

Hessel decided to take his new Star Board Evo out for a spin with his 4.7 Super Freak. He designed this beautiful sail a few months ago. He's been getting plenty of attention, specially from the lady sailors (Hessel's single)


We also went sailing with Juan Pablo who is one of Maui's top freestylers. Whenever he's not hurt you can count on him throwing down the sickest new freestyle moves up and down the beach at Kanaha. Mad props to him. Keep on rippin' cuz...
