10th June maybe?

:)

Anybody going to Maui or other exotic windsurfing mecca is excluded from the contest!!! (due to writers jealousy that he isn't going)

4 weeks and 5 days from now. That'll be a saturday so i'll have to pull a sicky!

No I've got the cast off and am into one of those trendy shoes they put you in instead. So I don't have to put up with the itchy leg in the cast or having a shower with a plastic bag over my foot etc.

If its a June comp we will have to submit our sessions via email :( Hope there is wind in May!

I hope things improve in Maui for you Dave. I am sure they will as you will be there in June.

This is from the Maui Blog.
More bad windsurfing news from Maui. April closed out with more pathetically light winds and May has kicked off with the same. Overall weather is sunny and beautiful but the wind is virtually non-existant. Worst April I've personally seen for wind on Maui.

hence not travelling to maui on the shoulder season, June July should be perfect trade conditions,

I must admit, last trip was a bit light for 30% of the time,

Remeber it was for Sydney, I am pretty sure it was Jetstar

HI Guys
Just got this email in from Russ ,one of my OES sailors on Maui tonight , sounds like it has been pretty windless and flat for the most of April, but looks like it is about to start blowing again!!

Hi Pete,


Sailed perfect mast high waves today. There was practically no wind, but just enough to slog around and catch waves. There has been no windsurfing for the last 2 weeks, so everyone is freaking out. It is supposed to come back by wednesday or thursday though.



Check out this youtube video that Jake put up recently (). I am the one on Ezzy sails in the vid. If the link doesn't work, search for maui windsurfing 2008/2009.

15-20 knots? We would probably all sail in that! Rig big and go for it!

ahhhh yeah but this is a seabreeze forcast and the difference between forcast and reality is aprox 15kn! in the wrong direction!

Any tips on where to stay that's really cheap?

Maybe you could crash in the OES factory...

Three letters boys. S, U and P. Last weekend was sweet as in the mid and down the far coast. Your missing out...... Its the closest thing to glug wavesaiing I have found. Just swapping your rig for a paddle. Then when its windy, you will feel fitter and like your last sail was just last week......
