Perfectly Tuned



Today was super super windy. I unrolled my 2010 3.7 M Panther 2 sail for the first time, slapped on the Dakine stickers and went for it. I was so out of control, I only lasted 5 min before heading back to the car for shelter. Thankfully David Ezzy rolled up just in time. He took a look at my sail and rigged it up just right for the extremely windy conditions.
Perfect tuning of my sail made all the difference. It was so light in my hand, despite the incredibly strong wind. I was making every jibe in the beginning of my session and even got to ride a wave with David himself. Pretty cool session. Cant wait to sail at Pistol River!

Hookipa



Yesterday I went to Hookipa for most of the day, then a sail down at Kuau. It was pretty big and I got a lot of filming in at Hookipa. All the pros are in town for photo shoots, so its quite a show!

Sail With a Whale

The other day I got to sail with a huge humpback. I always thought I would be afraid when I got that close to one, but it was actually a calming experience.

Wipe Out!

Yes, my foot did stay in the strap and I am now laid up. . . for a bit.

Kanaha Wind

Big and Messy



Yesterday at Kanaha was too big and messy for me to get to the outside. Russ and I launched together and neither of us could get out for a half hour. After that I gave up and started working on duck jibes at uppers. Russ did make it to the outside and didnt catch too many exciting waves. At the end of our session we did some sincronized sailing with our matching sails which always brings a smile to my face:)
