Not that anyone would notice...but Judi and I have been in Maui for 10 days. 10 straight days of 4.2-4.7 for 5-7 hours. Every joint, every muscle aches from constant abuse and my feet are so swollen, I can't get my shoes on. If anyone is interested in knowing THE ultimate location, I think we found it in Sprecklesville.

Pleased to "hear" it, Trip. Soon, your feet will look much
like those of a Hobbit.

Trip and Judi, Way to score good wind in Maui ! At least those kind of hurts, make you smile when you think about where they came from. Glad to hear the trip went so well. SR

Sarah,
Sorry you couldn't join us. I learned so much that I'd like to filter through your helpful store of tips: boom height, waist harness vs seat, jumping angels etc. For future reference, the maui accomidations site was great for finding just the right site. It was a bit more than we're used to paying but what a great location! And we saved on gas which went to $4/gal yesterday!

I'll bet those "angels" get killer air with their additional wings. ;*)

Craig, initially, I thought of the jumping angles: as in how best to approach and exit the jump on a wave but then my thought proccess degenerated into those angels that help prevent breaking your neck as you auger in for the landing. In my case, lacking sufficient knowledge to correctly execute my jumps, I think the "angels" played a larger role in my survival!
