Here on the Valley Isle just about every other car has a SUP loaded up. There are also maybe half a dozen shops who build custom boards so this SUP phenom is here for a while. But we have the added pleasure of doing downwind runs and riding and connecting windchop; this can be REALLY FUN as well as ...

Ahhh... SWK; you done done it again; by posing your innocent theory of surfers vs kiters you again stirred up a shitstorm of hate mail directed at you; you' been a busy little elf haven't you!! Remember the shitstorm you instigated on unhook/fixed strapless back a few months; goodness but you are a ...

If you got money to support yourself and you are not leaching on welfare, great idea; if you are in between jobs, relationships,or just need some adventure, fine; but if you plan on being a hippy- live in your car-welfare scamming- dirtbag, kite every day beachbum, don't come to Maui. We got enough ...

Ghostdog; that device called "Spot" seems like a really good thing for sketchey situations; nothing can take the place of correct decision making and having the skills, confidence, and physical conditioning to handle rough situations; if you can't handle, don't go out; but even in the most gentle si...

Maui's OK; but Cleveland is the spot for hot sessions, good food, and crazy babes; just ask Tau, he knows!!! About sharks; a few days ago there was solid wind and a N.swell of about 4-5ft. and three guys were shreading Pier 1 Kahului; well one guy goes down and can't relaunch so he starts a self-res...

Ahhh, the age old problem about how to handle jerks; it would be so nice and simple if all our local groups had an enforcer[ like Butch Vanartsdaalen used to be at La Jolla], some dude who was a good bro but who loved a good scrap and never backed down; then no problem; the jerk gets the word first,...

My take on solo launching is that I love to do it and and have drift launched for over a year. I have just tried the secure the c-loop method and I really like this launch style even better.

Tau you silly goose, you don't touch the blank, the machine does it all. You start the process by communicating with the programmer as to length,width, thickness,desired outline,etc. The programmer works up your design until you are satisfied than programs the machine and bingo, the machine does the...
