    Apologies for the aspect of the GoPro... it's a bit pointed downwards. Also my 2nd day sailing Hookipa was much better as I changed to a 92L board and the wind was less gusty. However I wanted to present the reality of my 1st sail and hopefully you won't make the same mistake I made if you ever sail there!

      Exhausting session in my book ! I hear you when you say you can’t sail on that tack …..I can’t do anything on port tack myself ! Great reality check in the float and ride gusty conditions, kudos for doing well on that too small board. Thanks for sharing, great video.

    • @Floatnride

      Conditions not that dissimilar to riding Newport Northern Beaches Sydney - wind gusty, light wind around the rocks. However we don't have crowds or waves like Hookipa. Looks super fun.

      Paul, you absolute fucking legend.
      Too small a board, probably could have done with a 5.0 or 5.2 and horrifically gusty. I was well impressed how you kept going. You must been been totally fucked 🤩
      Another awesome video. The real experience at Ho’Okipa 🤙
      Cheers.

    I stayed in Maui for three months when i was twenty and travelling (27 years ago 👀) and one of my fondest memories is catching a wave at Hookipa and Josh Stone hollering and cheering me on from behind. Lovely guy.

    Much appreciation for this clip, a true windsurfing experience. Lack of wind, being on a small board for the conditions made it so hard. Hats off for sticking to it, and making it back to shore. I am a friend of Ross Faurot and he warned me and suggested I pick up a bigger board back when i was visiting over a decade ago. I reside in Minnesota except spend a good chunk in July in Hood River. I mostly wing foil now but still would like to windsurf in Hood River in the right conditions - only been to Maui x2 and windsurfed in Kanaha. Never Ho'okipa. Well done, Paul. That is in the books now.
    Keep the awesome videos coming. Perhaps catch you in Hood River in July- 2025 - sail at the Hatchery / the Wall. Love your work and vibes. Best from Minnesota and safe travels - Baskin

    PVB!! Mate, that was so good!! For many of us, this is gold, to see just what the reality is sailing there, that beach break, light on the inside, a huge rip current.... Lucky for us here in NZ Taranaki has both Starboard and Port tack down the line, so we get a taste of both, most of the time its Port tack, but my natural is Starboard, however I dont get to do it that much, so I'm just average at everything!! But Mate you DID get a few waves and you DID get a few nice turns and a fairly decent white water hit!!
    and BEST of all you sailed into the beach, that is an achievement!! We have a similar thing at Pungarehu, a tiny channel surrounded by huge rocks, its like sailing through a graveyard!!
    92L must have been a dream in the next session, nothing worse than being on a too smaller board!!

    • @windsurfer
      @windsurfer  День тому +3

      Yeah Kev thanks mate you hit the nail on the head! The next day when I used the 92 it was way easier and the wind was way less gusty! I had a great day.

    Thanks for showing us this Paul it’s refreshing to see the struggle - it’s always a little intimidating to sail a new spot ( especially a world famous one like Hookipa ) and the opposite tack for you- I had a tough time there except my struggle was because of being way over powered for the sail I was using - glad you’re having a nice time in Maui cheers !

    You did great all things considered with a suboptimal setup and with such positive vibes! I sailed many years ago in July out of Hookipa for a downwinder to Kanaha beach. The Trades are more reliable in summer, but not much waves at that time of the year. I used to go regularly and sailed Kanaha beach and off North Kihei. Great video content and stoked wonderful memories for me. 🙂

    Yeah the wind can drop off sometimes in Maui, especially if a rain cloud comes through, or from clouds up and down the cost wind can shut the wind off. I usually sail a board 10L Liters more than my weight helps a lot. I also rig slightly bigger and once I am constantly over powered then swap out the sail and possibly the board . If your stuck out with no wind just wait 10 min, usually comes back. I Love Maui, have fun!
