Another successful surfing lesson with Dustin and Maui Surfer Girls.

Maui County is calling for a high surf advisory to be followed by high winds across the island.   The high surf and wind advisory brought out many spectators, hoping to catch a glimpse of the pro’s trying their hat tow-in surfing at world famous “Jaws”.

Known as Peahi by the locals, this legendary big-wave surf break is an only if you dare. Jaws is where world-class daredevils risk their lives on the biggest waves in the world—up to 70 feet.

With the high surf advisory today, Photographers like me we’re hoping for the money shot. Unfortunately, it never really came for me as my driver’s ski “Barbrella” as we call her was not up to taking us out to shoot today. Starting the ski resulted in misfires only turning over the engine intermittently. We took this as a sign from above to stay on land today. Needless to say, my friends and I watched from the cliffs. The expected big swell wasn’t what I had experienced in the past. The waves we’re somewhere around 20ft. which a bit on the small size for this infamous surf spot.  I’m hoping the ski will behave and cart us out other days this week. Be on the lookout for some new Tow-in shots for 2009.
