I landed on Maui thirty-eight years ago on a rainy, windy spring of 1985. Hookipa was blown out, and I remember only a few world cup guys were sailing in the gray northeast waves on 4.0m size sails. I didn’t go out; I was here to set up shop fresh off the plane from Marblehead, Massachusetts. I could sail later.

Well, it is 38 years later, and I sail and wing as much as I want, usually 4-5 days a week, for 30-60 minutes sessions. I’m on the water more now than when I arrived as a 23-year-old man with something to prove. That something was to show that my style of sailmaking had merit and that I could compete with the biggest brands in the world on the water and in business.

Now I am more relaxed about my approach to sailmaking and more experienced as a sailmaker and a sailor. 

Having sailed all over the world on almost every kind of vessel, I have a wealth of experience and knowledge that goes into every wing and sail I make. With approximately 100,000 windsurfing sails made during the last 38 years, I am stoked to offer my latest line of 2023 wings for all wind foilers.

So check them out, come visit on Maui, or order up and get a little Maui spirit in your next “perfect session.”
