Another one getting the best of Maui is Rudy Castorina who got served 5 days of Apocalyptic 50 knot Kona winds along with 8-10 foot waves that made way for some glassy surf at Ho'okipa and tow-in on the outer reefs once the wind finally dropped. As Rudy wrote to tell us this he got a call from the beach saying that the tradewinds where back and Ho'okipa was firing so he had to go. Ah well, until he's back, check out these recent surf shots of him. Photo: Jono Knight & MNeal.net

Francisco Porcella has joined the guys over at Drops Boards and he's been putting them to good use during the recent Tropical Energy Contest at Ho'okipa in great wind and waves as seen below. Photo: Pietro Porcella, Media Fun.
