Big wave season is upon us on Maui's north shore

It's that time of year again, when the winter swells hit the north shore of the Hawaiian islands. Ho'okipa Beach Park is the favorite place on Maui for windsurfers and surfers to test themselves against the forces of nature. There were only a few surfers out when I passed by.

This guy has the right idea and I bet he got some great shots of the waves. Plenty of people were watching the big sets roll in today.

Where do old sailboards go when they get past their expiration date? They get turned into fences around here!

Georgina,
Ahhh to be one of the lucky ones....lol
Who doesn't love the ocean!
Hi Georgina--I love the north shore at this time of year. And on the south shore I had my first whale sighting today . . . finally!
I leave the big waves to the experts; I have got caught in some pretty hairy surf in my stupider days...
Patrick - good question...
Janet - yay! I haven't seen one yet.
Paul - haha, i know what that's like.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Beside reblogging this one, Georgina, I am going to show that fence to Ronnie....as an old surfer dude, he will certainly appreciate it!!! That is such a cool idea, I love it!
