Another day at the office?

First time in Hawaii, and hopefully not the last! This afternoon Evelyne and I were treated to a wonderful, spontaneous and hair-raising windsurfing show at the Ho'okipa Beach Park, near Ha'iku in Maui. Boy! Aren't these guys and girls impressive... For about an hour, we sat perfectly still, mesmerized, watching these men and women floating in the air, over the waves, flipping into mid-air and turning on a dime. I wish I were still in my twenties and able to join them, but I'll have to console myself with another snow season. Call this perfection skimming wave crests and raging waters or another way of mastering effortless glide and the payoff of endless days of practice. Totally inspiring!
