My best friend (who lives in Haiku) is friends with all those Maui guys who are innovating.

They are all so great in the water once they master a genre they get bored and move on via innovation.

These foil boards have made the transition to kite surfing.

You want to talk about speed and "flying".....

The Lord of the Wind North American Kiteboard Championship is held every year on our beach in Los Barriles. The foil board contests are amazing; speeds in excess of 40mph! Watch this video, the foils start around 2:40 in. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W4VN-3wkEN8
