HOOKIPA HOOKIPA

Hey team , well not just all surfing here in Hawaii , l get to look after the Quiky Windsurf team aswell and while there has been a couple of down days at the triple crown , l shot over here to Maui to visit the boys  and l sailed straight into one of the best days of the season so far.  All the crew were out,  Antoine Albeau , Robby Naish , Victor Fernandez and all the other legends of the sport , they were going sick at Lanes  and Hookipa  , its been real interesting as they  are all testing their new boards and sails. The sport is just so much more advanced in technologie than surfing, Antoine last night was speed sail testing , hitting 41 knts (75km)  at times and then he jumps out of the water races off to the Sail lofts were the  sailmakres are locked in and give thems all the relevant info directly. Anyway check these couple of pics and keep intouch as there is a macking swell coming for the weekend and l will be back on the Nth Shore

ALOHA

    Hello Belly,
    I hope we will see more windsurf on your Blog.
    Do you heard about the big races in France like the “PM Trophée”.
    It’s a race with nearly 1 000 competitors.
    You could see some pictures here.

    We are getting back to the mass events of the eighties.

    I hope that we will have the opportunity to met you.
