Maui Surfer Girls

Luna's Getting Ready For Camp!

So as some of you know, we've got a new camp mascot this year:  LUNA, Our 7 month old lab/pointer pound puppy!

She's sporting her new red MSG rash guard & looking quite cute I must say!

Believe it or not, Luna is now skimboarding with her mom at Makena Beach - yes the infamous shorepound at "Big Beach".  It's truly unbelievable how fearless she is...we have to hold her back from chasing after the skimboard, head first into 3 foot shorepounders.  She's already an adrenaline addict.

Our goal is to expose our surfing puppy to as many board sports on Maui as possible.  Before she's 1 years old, we'll have Luna surfing, stand up surfing, skateboarding, skimboarding, windsurfing, and kitesurfing.  So far she's done everything but windsurfing and kitesurfing.  We'll be updating the blog with her phenomenal footage as we progress her through the sports!

You go Luna girl!  On the fourth of July, Luna will celebrate her 8 month birthday!

Celine Russo Got Hitched

Yes it's true: Celine Russo got married to Zac Adair on October 10, 2009.  

It was a gorgeous southern style wedding among the cypress trees lining a lake in Wilmington, North Carolina.  Casual and laid back - the only way Celine rolls - the wedding was charmed with the one window of good weather before thunderstorms hit the area late that afternoon.  Our beach party got a bit dumped on, but that didn't stop the party.  Our MSG surf instructor team, "H-Bomb", "Tree" and I, were reunited in the Atlantic ocean, surfing storm surf after a knarly fork lightning storm passed over us. Our day was electricified!  I hope you all enjoy these photos!  Can you believe Celine in a wedding dress?

Honolua Bay - The Classic Car Clip

This is one of my favorite clips of Honolua Bay - simply in the moment - in my truck, "Falcor", listening to cool jazz (music in the background) and checkin' the surf through the trees from the scenic look out. I grab my video camera and film through my window - watching these surfers getting shacked wave after wave after hollow wave! I can't watch a second more...I'm hiking down the cliffs with my bikini half on, wax in my mouth, hair in my eyes, with one thing in mind: a turquoise barrel at the cave! Step aside boys - this Maui surfer girl's gonna get her mack on!

It's these little Honolua magic memories that make many of us fired up to save Honolua Bay from being destroyed forever by developers. To check out the latest on the Save Honolua Bay Coalition, view this link:

The Windsurfing Movie

If you have ever considered picking up the sport of windsurfing, then you have to get a copy of "The Windsurfing Movie". Jace Panebianco, a good friend and my favorite local pro windsurfer, has just launched his first movie. He has done a phenomenal job showcasing the sport of windsurfing. For any of you who are wanting to learn this amazing sport or inspired by windsurfers skying thirty feet in the air, doing sick aerial tricks off of massive outer reef waves, then this movie is for you. The Windsurfing Movie also has a great story line and tracks the history of the sport, which will undoubtedly inspire a new generation of windsurfers. And you gotta love the heli and water cinematography -- it's mindblowing! Check out their trailer and take advantage of their holiday gift special!

And here's one of my favorite sequence of photos of Jace and I tandem surfing Hookipa on an overhead day. This was one of my most exhilariting rides yet at Hookipa -- thanks Jace!!
