Pantone, the world’s leading expert on color, finally released the color of the year for 2012, Tangerine Tango: “Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.” I know most of you were eagerly awaiting the announcement from Pantone, which occurred some time past, […]
The lack of conditions continue here on Maui (proving that it is not always windy mast-high at Hookipa). But the flat water did not stop Brendan and I from making the long climbing drive up Haleakala’s more than 10,000 feet to the mountain’s summit. One of the steepest inclines in the world (from 0 […]
Today marks roughly 22 years of my going to Hookipa. Yet amazingly, this is the first year where I can just focus solely on windsurfing. For the last 4 years, I’ve been away at Princeton studying. And before that, I was always busied with high school. For the first time ever, I’ll be able to […]

All three are small… wastes of rock… without trees… without soil… In winter storms they are almost smothered by the sea… which, because of the peculiar shelving of the coastline, piles up into one of the most gigantic seas in the world. In this desperate environment the Man […]
Windsurfing is the perfect enjoyment– it is the precise alchemical blend of pain and pleasure. Ah the pain! Do you remember learning to waterstart?
