Drove to the westside today, just to find out there was nothing over there, then back to Kehie for a nice little photo session with Starboard. Dont think we really got the gold over there today but you never know. You might just be surprised. John Carter is the man behind the lens for the Starboard Photoshoot so we will have to wait and see if he can pull some gold out of the bag. 

Missed out on a bike ride, It has been 4 days since I have been on the bike. I hope I have some time tomorrow...

Had a nice weekend.. went windsurfing, standup, no biking and a bit of relaxing as well as some photoshooting for Starboard. The new graphics look really cool and always fun to see what all the new products are going to look like for next year. Anyhow, I have been slacking on the photos but i am pretty sure you wont really like any of these ones.. I will try and get some windsurfing stuff but the real problem is that I have been out on the water so much that I dont have time for taking the photos.. I will try and get some soon!!

Woke up to a nice rainy day. Went to go for a ride but got rained out. Jp heard there was some sun in Kula so we jammed up to there for a 2 hour ride on the old saddle... pretty fun ride. for all you biker enthusiasts when you are on Maui, do this ride. it is great.. from Rice Park out to as far as you want to peddle back from. Beautiful Views.. Nice and not that steep.. fun times..

Went down to the beach afterwards for some windsurfing and went out on the 8.2 Vapor but just wasn't quite enough.. I heard it was windy in Keihe but didnt make it over there.. Anyhow... all for now. Starboard photoshoot starting up Saturday..

Well that was a pretty nice weekend.. Some good slalom sailing, some good biking, did a nice ride up to Kahakloa.. probably spelled wrong but anyhow.. i wanted to keep my stats as well  here... cause this ride is a lot more fun... Ride time was 1:59, Average heart rate was 124  with a max of 154,  27.6 miles, Average speed 14, with a time trial time of 37:30...

 Been out on the slalom gear quite a bit and the Gaastra Vapor along with my Isonic 86 is seeming to be going really good. I am just trying to get my starts and gybes down and make the most out of this great wind we have been having  over here on Maui. Yesterday took a day off from sailing and just did a Makawao loop and a stand up paddle from Hookipa to Baby beach. The wind was so windy that it was effortless.

Now Monday, back on the gym, back on the slalom, and a day off from the bike.

 Also end of the month so check out the new Move of the Month.

Had a long day today with a good hour ride in the morning.... it was funny cause I was riding all by myself and was thinking about this blog.. I was going to write down my Makawao Loop time in a book so I can remember how log it took me and see if I can improve on the time..  then I was like I should just write it on my blog and then that will be there for me to look back on.. The Makawao loop is from my house down past Hookipa to Paia then up Baldwin ave to Makawao then over Kapakalua and back down West Kuiaha. An ok ride, little busy on the traffic and i did it a bit too late so was a little hot..  so my time was 1:24 with a average heart rate of 125 and a max heart rate of 163. Was only 19 miles  with an average speed of 13 mph... Not that you guys really care but this is the one place that I can find that I can go back and look at..

Went sailing for a couple hours with the North boys down at Camp One. We put out the bouys and Jimmy, and Matt Perch were out and that was a good laugh.. We were gybing around cutting corners, well I was the one almost taking everyone out at the marks.. but was fun to get out there and get the heart rate up and running. I was talking with Jimmy and I was like man, I have been riding the bike and I think I need to change my workout, because I am burning out there going around those marks.. lucky for me he was too but it was fun none the less.. It was pretty windy out there, i was on 6.0 with the 87 Isonic and 34 Sl 4..  Need to get out there more and keep on pushing..

Today was another great day on the water! Wind and waves, fun size, nothing too special but really fun out there on the water. All the JP/NP boys are out there photoshooting away in some really fun conditions... I will try and grab some snapshots of the new stuff out on the water. It looks pretty cool...

I sailed on my 5.0 Manic with a twin fin from the starboard guys and it felt really nice. Tomorrow should be more of the same so we will see what kind of shots I can come up with...

finally there are some good waves today and guess what.. I could only get an hour and a half of sailing in because I already committed to doing a photo shoot in Walea for a class graduation party. Man was I bummed when I had to get out of the water a 2:30 to go and take some shots. But I guess that is a taste of the real world... A taste that I better get out there and train my ass off so I can win the racing world title and keep my sponsors happy.

For the time that I did have on the water it was really fun. I got to get out there and was like game on for an hour and a half. Had some very fun waves and felt like I was sailing pretty good. Would have liked to get some video to check out and see how I looked but  didn't happen. I have managed to take some great video of Matt out freeriding and look for a new video coming out on that soon.

 Ok Off to sleep!! Hopefully the waves stay up for a couple more days!!!
