Traded the Naish 10'x33" Mana for a Surftech 9'-6"x 32" Baboa this morning.  Going to go back to the Mana tomorrow.  
Not enough tail rocker on the Balboa, and a touch low on volume - 155 or so liters vs. the 185 Mana.
Pretty easy to score waves here.  Even for a telemarker!
Nobody has any idea what you are talking about but it sure sounds like fun.

Well, long story short, I really need to be on a board that has side bites....

You should get your self on windsurfer or kite.. 
every time I'm on a SUP it feels like I'm drifting around on a bathroom door..  I would still give my left arm to drifting around in Maui..

Not a lot of drifting, ya gotta work here, wind is either onshore or offshore, and turned up to 11.  Pretty much the epicenter of windsurfing and kiting, no need to watch EpicSesh TV when you can catch it live at Kanaha or Ho'okipa.

  I'm sticking to surfing, only getting worked mildly, not beat down and crushed like would happen if I did some pole surfing.  And kiting?  I prefer watching and respecting.

Aloha on the Honoapiilani Hwy today on our way to the West Side.  A local Kine guy lost his trailer load of coconut palm fronds etc. - right between two rock cuts.  Everyone stopped (had too..) and pitched in to clear the highway.  No big deal.  Typical Hawaiian attitude.  I stopped helping only long enough to take this pic.

Still on the coconut palm frond topic... This one blew down overnight on the lawn of our condo.  Easily weighed 20 lbs, and the tree was about 60' tall.  Ouch! (Could have been...)

TD looks like the trip has been great. And somehow I don't even hate you!

Thanks for the updates.
