Surfing into the New Year on Maui or Are They SUPsquatching?

ALOHA & HAPPY NEW YEAR

What a way to surf into the New Year or as they call it SUPsquatching.

photo by Erik Aeder

This photo was sent my way via Matthew Murasko as he said I could share the mayhem with you all. This crew is absolutely nuts and they are definitely having the most fun here!  My crazy friends Matthew Murakso and famous waterman Archie Kalepa are doing all they can to keep this “thing” on the face of this big wave here on Maui’s N. shore and Matthew is trying to make sure it doesn’t pearl!  And the REAL crazy thing about this photo, Archie IS the fin.  He is steering with his leg I think.  ( C4 gets credit for the craft )

Archie Kalepa was inducted to the Hawaii Waterman Hall of Fame this past September. Read article here: http://www.lahainanews.com/page/content.detail/id/508532.html

You can meet Archie and learn more about his history and his legendary life as a Hawaiian Waterman at Maui’s TedEx Maui event, this Sunday January 13th, 2013. Here’s more about Archie and the event:

Well, it’s all in fun and sometimes you gotta let loose!  The guys are a bunch of great and inspiring ones. They will always have your back and will always be wearing the biggest smiles.

Mahalo Matthew and see you all at TedEx Maui.
