We woke up this morning just before sunrise. After looking out over Maui we narrowed down our search of waves off of Frank’s porch. We headed out to go check a couple breaks. The spot we rode was nicknames “Sandpiles” by the guys.

A few others joined us for the dawn session including, Bryan Altham, Randy Royse, Greg Sheehan and helicopter master Eddie. We rode there for a couple hours. There were some good waves that came through but the waves really backed off from the previous day.

Tomorrow is expected to pick up a lot again so we might be able to get a morning session in before my flight. After the session we checked a couple other spots, Kanaha was too far of a swim and by the time we got out to Paia the Kona winds were already starting to crank. We headed back to Frank’s house for a little R&R, food and editing.

Julien and I again headed to Morris’ house to do a little more work to his standups. Then we went to Hookipa where julien did Standup at Lanes and I shot Lanes and Hookipa. The waves were still large and there were some rippers out again. As soon as the sun went down, Frank came out to shoot a couple portrait shots. We then ran up to Haiku to go see Daniel the board glasser and then returned home for my last night in Maui for a while.
