Well we made it another year. One more day left and it is over. Was a great year, had tons of fun, good results and now it is time for something new. Cant wait to bring it on.. The wind finally calmed down over here. We had some super windy days but the sailing still wasnt very good even though all of Maui was feeling the wind. It was too east for the island here and made it super gusty and offshore and not that great for sailing. I had a couple days at Sprecks that was fun but other than that was a waist of all the wind!
Anyhow Happy New Years everyone! Be safe and Have fun! Just remember you only live once!!

Had a struggle of a day today.. went to go slalom sailing and got all rigged up to test out some new boards but my testing partner's batten was broken.. So canceled that mission and went for a wave sail. Went up to Uppers was bad, went down to Lower Kanaha, was terrible and then sailed all the way back up to Camp one where it was kinda fun. Was powered up on the twinzer and the 4.7 and in the end had a pretty fun time. Waves were small and blown out but still had a frontside and backside 360. So in the end that made my session a bit better!

Been Sailing a little bit but has not been very good. Today had a fun session at Sprecks with some jumps and some fun little smacks ripping around. Friday I had all of Hookipa to myself with some fun little smacks on the new twin fin. Was fun to throw that thing around a bit. This week looks like it is going to be a good week on wind guru so we will have to wait and see what comes up.
Hope everyone is ready for Christmas as it is nearly upon us...
Happy holidays everyone.

Today went on a two hour bike ride through Maui's Winery in Kula. Went up at 7:30 in the morning and it was amazing. Was so beautiful. The ride was great on the way down with nice hills all the way down. Went for 40 minutes down and had a nice long ride back up. Was different for me but fun none the less. Looks like there might be another swell coming tomorrow so we will have to wait and see. I would love to get a nice day in at the Hookipa soon.

Yeah I know it, I have been slacking on the blog... I dont really know why..I think i was getting oer the top on the blog thing and just needed a break from it. While I was away from it I still haebeen thinking about how to make it different. I have been doing it for about a year now and I think it is time for some sort of change to it.. Well with a new year on the way, maybe I will stop being lazy and start getting on it..
I am back on the road now and finding my way to Forteleza Brazil. I am going there for a road trip with some friends to discover some new sailing locations. Time will tell as to how good we can score it. It is pretty hard to leave Maui during this time as the conditions have been on fire lately.
That is all for now. I am about half way into my 21 hours of travel. I have 4 hours just sitting in Miami.. then another 8 hours to Sau Paulo and another 4 hours back up north to Forteleza... Ahh the joys of travel.

Man, first it is my blog that gets me into trouble now it is my photos.. check out this email we got from the Maui Sails France importer.. pretty crazy dont you think??
"I was informed today by Fabrice that the June issue of Wind Magazine carried a small article that Kevin had performed the Photo Shoot for Gaastra and Tabou to the angst of the Pro Photographers in the market and the general media community was intending from that point forward to boycott images of Kevin. By being a pro windsurfer AND a photographer, Kevin upsets all the pro photographers, and they respond by not taking any photos of him or not publishing any shots of him.
There was an article in WIND magazine about that called Boycott."
Well maybe in France but it seems like my coverage this year is pretty good. I actually just saw some shots of mine in Wind Magazine, one of Robby Swift and one of Robby Naish.. So that is pretty cool.
Anyhow just sitting around in Aus now waiting for the wind. We had some sick days down in Margrets with Mast high plus waves. Was pretty big and knarly and scary, especially on the opposite side waveriding than I am normally used to.. Thats all for now..

Wow, that was a long flight plan. Maui to Oahu, Oahu to Tokyo is 9 hours on the plane, 6 hours in Tokyo, Tokyo to Bankock which was around 7 hours, Bangkok for 8 hours, Bangkok to some place I have never heard of called Bandar which looked like it could be a nice place with some tropicalness to it 3 hours sitting around in a transit hall, and then another 5 hours on the plane to Perth.. Needless to say a bit nackered but all is well. Down here with Scotty Mckercher and he is going to show us a bit of Western Aus. Should be fun!

I am back on the road again. Heading down to Thailand then to Australia. Looks like there is going to be a nice swell in Western Aus with nothing too big on the horizon here so I am going to blast down there and have some waveriding in. Man, it is like summertime here in Hawaii... Too flat.. I heard something like this winter isn't going to be too big?? We will see. Anyhow, should be without connection for a while... So bear with me on the posting!! See yah!
