LADY LUCK
Another decision to swim in these eerie waters was on the cards, especially looking at the amazing West Maui Mountains looming behind us which were no doubt going to be a cool back drop for shots. From what I heard, there have been numerous shark attacks on Maui over the past two years with most of them emanating from this stretch of coastline all the way to the breaks further up the coast towards Honolua Bay. Today I was going to chance it and headed out, although there are a few places along this coast where I think I’d definitely rather stay on the beach! After scraping round in sometimes knee deep water, I eventually found a decent position, where the boys were scoring some pretty decent jumps, despite only having small 1-2 feet waves to toy with. Midway through the session a huge rainbow started to form across the mountains and lingered for at least half an hour. It was game on again with mother nature chipping in to make this rare session even better. Out of nowhere Maui had delivered another one of those magical moments, combining awesome sailing and amazing scenery. This is why so many brands shoot here year after year. Two days of totally washed out conditions on the North Shore had delivered a pair of incredible days on the West Side at spots I had never shot before and possibly never will again.
