LAKAWA

See attached. The last day of the Maui Race Series ran a special class for sailors on wave gear. Ex Minnetonka\Waconia sailor Doug Boll and Ex Golden Valley\Calhoon sailor John Martinson took 1st and 2nd. John passed the last buoy and threw up his hands and got pitched. Doug, who was right behind, p...

If you hang out a Waconia in the sumer or Tonka in the winter you've probably seen Brian Sherry. Last summer I went, with a bunch of kiters and windsurfers, to Grumpy's in St Boni and saw Brian play. I new the guy was a total wind junky but I had no idea he was such an incredible drummer. His brothe...

I've rented from the Naish pro center on Maui (and other places on Maui too). I think there is also a Naish pro center on Oahu -- that's the Naish headquaters -- I think. So you might stop in or call the one on Oahu and sign up and if the wind's not that good maybe they can apply a credit to maui an...

Hi Eric! ( and all the other posters too!).

Good to see you (Eric) posting again and to see you're on the water.

Want to see some SUP freestyle!

Kind of hard to find, but Stosh is the best.

Saturday for sure. Maybe today (Friday) for me. Depends on the wind....

Maybe today too. Depends on the wind.

Hi Dave,

Did you go to Cannon? How was it? How's the water down there?

How about today?

Hi Mat. I think you'll like Waconia. Works on all directions except east. Then there's the beach on the south side. But with any kind of west, the Waconia launch is great. Due west and northwest are best. I think today will be southwest -- good too. The weeds aren't bad -- they're not gross weed bed...

How was Cannon? Sorry I missed it. Tied to desk these days.

I want to be the night watchman for Kauli's windsurfing center.
I need to learn portugese.
I need to learn how to say, "Good morning Kauli. Nothing to report except the usual stolen board and sail. I think I know where they are and I'll bring them back tonight -- I always do!"

Great pics! Thanks!. I was kinda down because I missed yesterday. Your pictures really cheered me up.

Re: "What's the attraction."

More stinking wind.

When there's wind to the south and the wind's from the south, you'll be on smaller gear at Cannon. Plus no weeds. Plus nice swell. Plus swell folks.

Cool pic. Sorry I missed it. Was that at Cannon?

Some friends of mine own a dock business. About a month ago one of them told me that a customer of theirs gave them some windsurfing gear. I told him that was great and I was looking forward to showing them how the stuff works. The day before yesterday, one of them called with a question about the g...

Hi Pete,

Went to Waconia today (Saturday). It was 4.5 - 5.5. Big gusts. Small holes and some big holes. How was Cannon? Room to park?

Bill, Sorry I missed you on Wednesday. Got down there Thursday afternoon. Holy crap. Greg was on a 4.7. So that's what i rigged. By late afternoon, I was fully wound. Rob was on a 5.0 and Adam was on a 6.2 (whew). Brought back memories. Dunk drank some of the magic water and gave back thru my nose. ...

I'm moving to Maui. I'm taking my gear and my dog. You can have everything else. Don't tell my wife.

I want to know too.

Today looks like a possibility.

Pete, Sid, Bill, Doug, Greg? How's it down there?
