Must do... Maui!

Stand up paddling was reborn on Maui. Blame it on Laird. Or credit the big man because if you're here reading this chances are that you're just as crazy about this stuff as I am. If that sounds like you then you've got to make the pilgrimage to our paddling Mecca... Maui! I'm here now, just finished paddling a fun little reef break and am having a great time. Check out these photos: 

Oh yeah, it's really small- but even small here is considered fun back home... especially if the water is in the mid-70s and the sun is shining.
Plumeria... everywhere. Reds, yellows, whites, sunsets... all colors, all over the place.

BTW just a shout-out: Of all the SUP blogs I follow (Laird, Kalama, Blue Line, Extreme Geezer, Distressed Mullet, blah blah) you most consistently deliver posts. And they're even interesting. You really do seem to rule the SUP blog universe.

That is all.

I promised a large brown skinned gentleman named Mr. Moke that I would not name the spot... he yelled out to me as he was driving away something in code, "You one howley motherf#$%a!" Which I understand to mean,"Welcome to the islands!".
