A New Old Video
Tuesday, 09 November 2010
The last few days of sailing have been really fun. Yesterday we had very strong offshore winds. It’s challenging and a lot of work dealing with that wind, because it tends to be really gusty and overpowers you when on the wave. Still, I managed to get some good rides and a few decent jumps.

Jimmie’s Jumpfest
Monday, 23 August 2010
We just got an early season swell here on Maui. It was small, but quite fun. It just so happened that Jimmie Hepp was hosting a photo contest for best jump at the same time. It was a 3-day event which I was only able to attend once, but I got the biggest wave day.
