Hookipa yesterday.
Inexplicably, the Sports Tracker GPS app I use to track my downwinders doesn't have wingfoiling and Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling (!), so for the first I chose windsurfing and for the second mountain biking.
The June recap shows a total of 44 downwind runs, between the two disciplines. That's why I don't feel like traveling anymore. And that's also why I don't surf much anymore, as I got spoiled by the wonderful lack of interaction with other people around competing for a limited amount of waves.
Furthermore, conditions are always different and if you throw in the test of different foils (to which luckily I often have access), the need for variety is amply satisfied.
Consequently, this has been the best summer of my Maui life, also thanks to the skills I developed in three years of practice: I am loving it.

It is just amazing how lucky we are to live here. No reason to ever leave this beautiful rock!
