2024 MAUI TRIP - #4

[@AdamRowbo]

These behind the brand videos are so interesting, thanks for the great content.

[@christophercurran4641]

Hotsails/Jeff Henderson shaped windsurfing (and continue to do so) in such a low key, under the radar way. Jeff has always been generous with his time, knowledge, and insights anytime I came to Maui to visit the shop. Loved my KS3 sails; such a brilliant design. I foil mostly these days but am stoked to see your coverage of a legendary shop, designer, and rider (Bernd). Wish I lived closer to strong wind/waves as I'd still be windsurfing a ton. Much Aloha.

[@michelcote]

Paul, you have a touch of making us beeing there sharing the experience. Same when you are on the water. Thanks

[@johanstahl6186]

Tack!

[@windsurfer]

Thank you so much!!

[@Bart-surf]

Great episode! Rented my Starboard and Hotsails at Kanaha Kai in 2012. Great shop, nice people. Good 🔥sails. We named our son Kai after that Maui windsurfing trip. 😃

[@windsurfer]

Thanks for the tips!

[@leonjamaer6981]

loving it Paul! Going to Maui from my couch... much easier than traveling around the world :D

[@windsurfer]

Thank you so much Leon!! 🥰

[@ahmwsynth]

39:40 "the only one that does it on purpose" Ha! Love it :-)

[@postiebren]

Tripping down memory lane at Kanaha Kai .... loved the interview with Jeff.... Bernd is so humble.... another amazing video Paul!

[@shakrmaker]

Great interviews of both Bernd and Jeff. Nice one.

[@dampchimp]

You are a legend PVB, I enjoy all your content, keep it coming. Windsurf Amor I watch every week.

[@windsurfer]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@PlanetsandtheWater]

Incredible, Genesis - The Return of the Giant Hogweed full on at Kanaha Kai!!

[@cosmicpapa]

Thanks Paul. Love those personal insights of Bernd and Jeff. I am happy hotsails customer since 2012. I am using the firelight line and still in love with them because there are soo light and endurable. Was not aware of the kS3 lithium! Amazing sail !

[@williambarnett-g8x]

thanks.......that is so good to see......the heart of windsurfing ........loved the whole presentation......took me back to 96 again going to the Hot sails loft at the Cannery and meeting good people who sold me a prototype that served well on many days at Camp 1 where 1 day I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff Henderson too.

[@amitbashaan]

Thanks so much paul!! I'm about your age, sailed on maui in 95' , sailed western Australia in 99 and still sailing obviously and your beaitiful videos are a delight bringing back so many wonderful memories. And when I say beautiful I mean across the board, visual, drone footage and intresting engaging content!! And Brend is an amazing individual, so young for such deep insites and with such a unique, pure atitude and perception that Ifeel is the true essense of the dance of wind and water 🤙🙏💥

[@jamest1403]

Should names this series of films "Kid in a candy store" , great insider footage that we all wish we could do.

[@Floatnride]

Agree such a candy store for us wind freaks.

[@martijnwind1798]

Very nice video! I bought a Topsails in 1988, and now I know who's the designer of it. Had lots of years fun with this sail. The details of rigging the wave sail als interesting. Espacially the fact about the S in the batten. Is normaly not done with other brands.

[@richardp8661]

Merci !

[@windsurfer]

Thank you!!!

[@richardp8661]

So many memories. Maui 2017. Re-voyaging try those same steps. Enjoying each of them again. Thank you so much.

[@myfelicidade]

Early Genesis albums played in the background, nice :)

[@zacmitty7851]

Paul, you're on a roll! I've been using HSM for around 13 years now and it was so interesting to hear their story and that of their BRILLIANT rider BR. Great vid and thanks again for no crappy eighties soundtrack. You are hot!!😁

[@wilcootte7408]

Thanks for these great background stories. I love it!

[@Martin_KB]

Super interesting! Loved the sail presentation with the s-batten explanation. Thanks Paul!

[@iotarask77]

Love these videos with a more spiritual approach to life in general, sports, community and Windsurfing. I can’t enjoy any “buy this to be that” stories anymore.

[@william_buehler]

Loved this, my entire quiver is hot sails from 5.0 firelight up to a 10.0 speedfreak.

[@ROCKETRICKYH]

Another total gem, Paul. I walked into the Hot Sails shop my my long time pal Ron on our first trip to Maui in 2017...and whom should we meet but Jaeger Stone! I am delighted to have a full quiver of Hot Sails, and to have talked to Jeff Henderson on the phone from here on the South Coast of England and how I love his sails. Marvellous. Thrilled that Bernd is doing so well.

[@miki_maui]

looove it!! awesome content! love the superfreak sailing the QUAD

[@ropi7043]

Love Bernds sincerity. Wise words! Great interview skills Paul. Keep it up.

[@juliodelrio6807]

I'm loving these Maui series Paul. I'm discovering so many interesting aspects about the place and the people watching these videos. Thank you for sharing, and keep up the good job!

[@Tomasz_C]

This was simply great! That loft is a fun place to hang out.

[@alvaropiteira2658]

Paul, you are an absolute legend. Like you, i have the same dream of visiting Hawaii but i am not sure i’ll be able to accomplish it. So this is as close as i will ever be there. Many thanks

[@windsurfer]

🙌

[@Mr._MN10]

Great video's! Never been to Maui. Really feels like I am experiencing it in for first time as well. Keep it up and enjoy!

[@robrichardson7437]

Super cool. Some really good insights, thanks Paul

[@sprecklesville]

Super interesting vid - real insightful content

[@thuressf]

So much awesome insight and new knowledge for me. Thanks for another great one.

[@SuperFlo8888]

Kanaha Kai is my favorite shop❤! Bernd is great guy and super wind ripper ❤💪🤙

[@antoinehanekom4689]

Awesome. Thanks Paul. I sailed a high aspect ratio Hotsail back in the late eighties. Fascinating to finally see the man himself and learn about the history of the brand.

[@stefmichielsens3459]

Paul! Windsurfers like myself have been waiting for info's/backgrounds like this for .... ever? Thanks so much, this is great, keep digging that way. First time we see/hear the other side of the PR-medal?

[@thekww]

Paul man thank you you’re giving me a lot of great information. Priceless bro. Thanks for your hard work, man.

[@kaigilb9238]

two fantastic dudes

[@martinbailly573]

Another gem video ! Thank you Paul !

[@robbertquaak]

never thought I would hear about the brand Topsails again… quite a few of them around sailing the 80’s in the Netherlands…. 🤙🏼

[@ridetheliger4176]

Awesome, Paul. Thank you!

[@maxspock87]

Thanks Paul for these videos!

[@SuperFlo8888]

That is interesting sail! Love to try it some day!

[@nicke14]

Jeff is such a good guy!

[@cls9474]

Oh, Hot Sails plus old Genesis

[@juppster5980]

great to see the and meet the Hot Sails through you Paul. Love it !

[@thomaslowry1910]

Super video mate. Nice to highlight a smaller brand that does some super cool stuff

[@matthewindsurfs]

these are such entertaining videos, you could start a whole series on just windsurf sail features with various brands.

[@Felixvejimdocom]

Great video!! I have a ks3 4,6 since 9 years or more… and it is awesome! My mastsleve was opening because the polyester fibers broke and the other ones was it kevlar or dacron? Around the mast still lasted! So this mast sleve is what needet a repair, but the local sail maker was making a good solution! I would love to get a lithium ks3 but haha im winging, Surfing and windsurfing… and my windsurf/wingfoil instructor salary is just not enough to support that dream of me! Maybe one day i visit them on maui and get the hookipa experience!! You Paul, I would love you to try a ks3 and report us your experience!!

[@doradosurfcharters]

🔥 hope they patented that emoji ...great interviews with all the pioneers Paul ...love those wizard sleeves bernd 🔥💯

[@CK21z]

PVB, you should add in the title who you are talking to. Makes it easier for people to search out :) Great content! Thanks a mill'!

[@foilsurfmachines]

Terrific video. Thanks!

[@Aymeric-g2i]

Do they eat some kind of spice over there like on Arrakis... everybody as blue or green eyes ?

[@Lennyfromwork]

I watched the whole PWA racing last season and from watching the woman's, Hot sails really stood out especially at the Japan final event as being damn fast.

[@CicloLogisticaPorto]

Plse do Dave Ezzy, that would be interesting

[@TyAndMaxLovesJijutsu]

Hell yeah!!! Do it Paul!….Please!!!???

[@atonenjr]

Yes.

[@qlesh77]

Great video Paul, realy want to buy hot sail now !

[@BenCJF]

8:33 OMG! Wind Service! I keep racking my brain: where did I see that? a French (or could be Swiss?) custom boards workshop from the early/mid 1980s?

[@Hendreh1]

Nice man 😊

[@olivieOL69]

Much Love from GPE for Jeffrey H !

[@lucacoppini8683]

my favorite sails ❤

[@jonproctor3292]

29:18 I rented that SB Carve 114 sticking out at the back of the row last summer for my first ever shortboard session! Kanaha Kai set me up really well. Hope to make it back soon!

[@markolovis]

Going back to what berd was saying: truth is that happiness is only as such if shared, the sooner we learn that the better 🤙🏻💙🤙🏻 PS. But the harsh reality is this: are we really ready to share a wave with a winger?? 😬😇😘

[@cinthichuu]

Thanks PVB for the content about and around the Aloha Classic

[@windsurfer]

IWT/PWA KZbin

[@cinthichuu]

Yes thank you! It’s an amazing broadcast this year 🎉

[@Miketoveyorginal]

KS3 is on my list of things to own

[@Aymeric-g2i]

I know their wave sails are great. But what about their freeride sails ? Never seen them aroud me i think ?

[@ahmwsynth]

I have a 6.5 and 7.5 SpeedFreak. Dacron 6 battens and one cam. Absolutely love them!

[@frankbingel5504]

Thanks so much for sharing your Maui experience with the windsurf community🥳🤙🏻👍🏻 Keep more episodes coming, especially of the comp and riders feedback. What vlog cam you use???

[@windsurfer]

I use my IPhone 👍

[@frankbingel5504]

@@windsurfer Thx! Great quality. What model ?

[@windsurfer]

15 Max

[@Floatnride]

The material on these hot sails is next level

[@lucacoppini8683]

grazie Paul

[@atonenjr]

Please do more interviews with oldtimers. Barry Spanier, David Ezzy, Dave Kalama to name just a few...

[@asdmuzak]

That dude needs a bigger water bottle

[@alevmd]

!!

[@rikiwind9199]

Gran video. Da muchas ganas de probar esa vela.

[@Floatnride]

We have some in our association who rolled one of these sails out, I was blown away with the construction of these sails. Super light and bombproof

[@Floatnride]

Cool camera angle Paul with sail makes more sense now re power and neutral

[@Floatnride]

I wish we had windsurfing shops like this in Sydney
