You can get unlucky in Maui, two weeks and two sails is what I got.

Thursday/Friday and Sunday looks pretty good at the moment!

Chris, dont think you are gonna get much of an argument if you are comparing Maui to Adelaide, you cannot compare.

Adelaide is a great place to live and sail, we have consistant winds in Summer, get good wind and waves in winter if the planets allign, good waves if you are willing to travel, good living standard, jobs, low crime rates, I could go on - but I am pretty happy here.

Maui is the mecca for windsurfing, couldnt agree with you more, but try getting a decent job, try renting a house, health insurance (coz you will have to pay for it) - I would much rather visit than live, for now anyways....

All I need is 1.5 million. Pretty keen to try and do atleast a month next time! Adelaide is cool but nothing compared to Maui!! Just need alot of coin! Everyone there who "has the life" has alot of money's!!

funny thing Chris- in the 14 days you were away, based on your reports and photos
if SA v maui going head to head the best sail by far was in SA last sunday??!!
I find maui in summer flat and frustrating....... diamond head's a lotta fun.
