A little change

Alert:I just started noticing other blog posts that aren't able to post video's through emails. So, for now all the daily video reports will go through Vimeo. I will try to shoot an email to accompany it, so those of you with cellular devises will get a written report.

Forecast: Tomorrow, the wind should lighten up a little...small kites and diminishing swell. Friday looks like the money day, even a little lighter, but still windy. In fact, the wind should be hammering into next week. Aloha and good luck!!

Technical Difficulties

Working hard on the daily

So, as you have noticed the daily report had a short run of difficulties. I have a team of experts working on this as we speak. It will be fixed hopefully by tomorrow. So I will give you a forecast.
Report:Windy, windy and really windy!!! For the next couple of days morning is going to be your best bet before the afternoon gauntlet arrives. If it goes over 35 you are on your own, so be careful, manage your game and take it easy. Also, I rather large NW swell is on the way, so if you are not an expert...watch!

King Kong vs Godzilla

Sean vs. Jesse

Today, it was pretty much "classic". The winds and weather put together a great day for a photo shoot. As you know, I was right in the middle of it, well a little down wind. I put together this video of the boys ripping it up. The real photographers were out, and I was in the background catching all the action. Charles, my intern, caught the return of Shawn Richman from Spring Break. Jesse was out doing his thing and then, as it became late afternoon, it was truly the "Richman Hour" Watching these two is unbelievable.

Report: The high pressure builds and so does the surf, looks like a classic week. Get your muscles ready!

This is just too funny!!!!

Alright, with April Fool's just around the corner, I had to throw in this one too. This is so funny, I just love it. I read so many responses about how the below kite video is bad for kiting. So, is this bad for a 5 year old who just got his first Slip'N Slide???? Have fun...if there are more of these, shoot me an email so I can post it and keep the fun going!!!

Are you kidding??????

Toast and a 60 ft monster

Toast 53.5ft on the way to 60ft

Mega-Loop

Toast: Style Under Pressure

If you have ever parked a chair on the really nuking days in front of the Pro Pool, you may have seen one of Maui's biggest jumpers: Ryan Toaspern aka Toast. Toast is hard to miss, with the big jumps with mega-loops, backroll kiteloops and many other super technical tricks is a local standout. Today, Toast was telling us about his new toy. The Shadow Box: Shadowbox, its got a GPS, accelerometer and has a few more sensors in it. So, it records all the data and then you can import it into google Earth or look through it on the software that comes with it. Now you can analyze the height, speed and a number of other things when you kite. In his last session, he got 53.5 feet high. He then told me he pulled 7.5 G's on one of his mega-loops. His next goal is 60 feet. So, now you can call out all your buddies B.S. on high they really got. If you are interested in trying this devise come down and I will direct you to him.
