Watch: Jaws With A Breeze

Over the weekend, the largest swell since early January hit Maui and the Hawaiian islands, though unfortunately the peak of the swell coincided with strong trades.

Too windy to paddle, it made for great tow surfing and windsurfing conditions, which together made for great viewing. Many shared waves, crossovers etc.

I've no idea what's happening at the 0.30 second mark...

30 seconds, the usual sight of a kite surfer trying to tow a ski biscuit in 15 - 20 foot surf.

Yep gotta keep those instaviews up! Lighting yourself on fire in a barrel or holding a flare on the wave face are old hat!

Looks like the Maui sailboard crowd are sick of Mr lenny and his showboating

Probably the influence of so much internet porn available these days.

Bloody hell, that was mental. The chop, the wind. Difficulty 9/10. That windsurfer was tearing the bag out of it. I thought he and Kai were playing cross-overs. Something perhaps not to try at home.
