So had a month in Maui over April. It was really really busy and the conditions were inconsistent so it was a bit disappointing especially compared to last year when we had wind nearly every day for 5 weeks!
Spent a few days on Oahu seeing the forecast looked bad for Maui and I wanted to check out the fabled North Shore but we didn't end up getting a car organised and Hookipa turned out to be pumping... Wasn't too pleased about missing out on sick conditions while stuck in Waikiki.
The first day we had at Hookipa was by far the best of the trip, 4.2 wind, cross offshore and mast high on the sets. Wasn't ridiculously crowded as most of the photoshoots hadn't started yet. Unfortunately I felt like a total retard on starboard tack after only sailing port tack for the past 7 months or so!
We had wind for about 5 days and then a full week of literally zero swell and zero wind! Pretty unheard of for Maui! Wasn't much to do other than go for a SUP and check out girls.
Ended up having a few good days though and felt like I improved my starboard tack sailing by the end of it. Sounded like there was close to zero windsurfing conditions while we were away which definitely made it worthwhile!
