June 7, 2002 - Lahaina, Maui, HI

This was our last chance to surf in Hawaii before we left. Of course, it was 80 degrees and beautiful out. We went to a spot that is just south of the main strip and downtown area in Lahaina. There were boats moured beyond the break and a stone pier where surf end up at. The paddle out was is very shallow water with a reef underneath until the water got a little bit deeper where the breakers are. I used the same 8 foot Xit board which works really good as a long board in this kind of surf. The waves were waist high and clean and fun. Caught a lot of rides, but there were also a lot of people to avoid, especially beginners.
