just a quick hello to back in radelaide!! landed yesterday morning after the most stressful trip ever!!! turns out u need a visa waiver to get into hawaii these days!! buggered if any of us knew that!! ended up being last on the plane and running to gate 10 mins before departure!! but all is well now nice 25 degrees! waikiki is pretty much the gold coast all over again but pretty excited for maui tomorrow!!! im definatly not missing 9 degree port stanvac night shift!!! typical looks like you are getting some wind in the next week to come!!! Aloha!!!

There always seems to be green arrows on the 7th day of the forecast - but they usually change within 24 hours!!!

Have a nice time in Chris Gem and Rossi - luv to join ya - maybe next year

Always windy when you SA crew are in Hawaii. Thanks Chris.

I'm there in a week and a half. So get ready for the 'El Mittono'....

Where are you staying? Sugar Cove?
Have you done any of the Neil Pryde stuff yet?

story so far!!!...

had some awesome windsurfing going on! hookipa has been small and playful and it has been super windy and warm as you would expect of maui!! this place is just perfect! been trying out some new severnes and prydes! pleased to report there all great sails and all the new JP's look really really good! had a tour of the quatro factory today and met all the dudes! luckiest guys on earth!

gemmas been living it up everyday shopping and working on her tan as well as kicking us in the bar at a game of pool!!! pete told her to put some "gravy" into it and it sure worked!!! been living like kings in our massive beds! biggest i have ever slept on!

had a biiiiiiiig blinder night of celebration the other night in paia including champagne, coronas and some delicious margaritas!!! gem managed to get served a few times. woke the next morning to find Lee had lost his wallet in the crazyness of the night before! searched everywere for 3 hours until we decided it was gone forever! had to spend the next 2 hours on the phone trying to cancel all the cards! very stressful...... BUT later that night we were looking at photos and seen it lying on the bed!!! we looked under the matress and sure enough it was there! so it definatly pays to take drunken photos!

any how gotta go sail head high Hookipa unfortunatly! so gotta go!!

Aloha

Chris is that a ring on Gemma's Finger???? Congrats mate.


Good to see ya living the warm life over there.

What is Lee holding in his left hand? wrongtown!

Hey, congrats on the engagment as well you guys!

That car you are renting looks like the one that the Kays hired last year, its a ripper

pete now owes us $100 for posting that photo!! i proposed to Gem on the hill at hookipa just before sunset. it pissed down with rain and we got satched! but it was awesome. more photos from today will be posted shortly! looks like there might be some swell on the weekend which will be cool!
