I have a North Infinity 5.0 and an Ezzy Transformer 4.7 gathering dust in my
garage, both are in good shape. I also have a mast to go with them.
If you want to take a look give me a shout. 779-8321

come visit me at a new bed and breakfast I'm building at one of the best
launches in Maui. This is important because if you don't have local connections
in Maui, there are now very few locations available.

where I'll be applying for a B&B permit. There's excellent kiting, windsurfing,
SUP'ing, surfing, etc. right behind the property at sandy beach. While the
property is not oceanfront, it's nearly as good from an access perspective.
There's room on the property to keep your gear rigged, maybe 160 feet from the
water (less than the distance at many parking lots!). Kite beach is a short
drive away and you can even launch kites right behind the property as well. The
house sits on a 2 acre lot surrounded by many lush tropical trees. There's an
abundance of tropical fruits growing there too.

that we are open, starting this October. Plus, I've got plenty of gear storage
space and will offer FREE gear storage until your next reserved visit. I.e.,
come and stay, and reserve another stay and keep your gear safe and secure.
Everything will be first class, like storage for rigged sails, LCD and Plasma
home theater systems, soundproof walls and floors, fine king size beds, nice
tile, granite, maple, etc. The units are "fully equipped." We also have drop-off
service to Maliko Gulch for SUP downwinders back to the property. We could also
drop you off to do a downwinder from Hookipa. The location is ideal for large
groups. We've even got toys for toddlers and possibly child care too.

Field in SF from 1994 to 2005, and was a regular sailor at Crissy, Rio, Coyote,
and 3rd. I even used to do live on-site wind reports for the original Call of
the Wind back in the 90's. I used to be very active in course racing in SF (Cal
Cup and Friday Night Series). I used to kite at 3rd and Crissy (having once got
dragged under the 3rd bridge with a kite!).

sailed without a wetsuit. Maui's a bit like San Francisco, in that you never
stop discovering new things to do, and the beauty is stupendous. I bought 2
acres next to the beach in 2000, and I've been working on my project ever since.

> Please send me an e-mail at maui.windsurf at gmail.com with a bit about
yourself (preferably an e-mail), and I'll send you pictures, maps, rates, etc.
If you associate with a group of any sailors at any location or any particular
shops in your area, please let me know. I'm trying not to rent to any complete
strangers, but instead friends of friends of friends. If you've taken camps with
ABK or Jason Voss or Wyatt Miller or traveled with Solo Sports, those are all
friends of mine. If you know the Ultra Nectar crew, the Naish Team, windsurf
racers, Cabrinha, Hot Sails, Maui Sails, etc....Just tell me a bit about
yourself and I'll send you some information.

winter, and spring are much better because there's real waves! And if there's
not enough wind for sailing, there's so many other things to do on Maui.
