Pe'ahi from the channel. I used my iPhone to capture these shots. There was so much action it was impossible to get it all. Robby Naish and crew windsurfed Pe'ahi and then wing foiled back to the harbor.
How much of a hassle to surfers are the windsurfers? As far as man and nature, surfers should always have priority, in my view. A windsurfer in a wave is one step down from motorized propulsion in a wave.
Here on Maui anyway, surfers have the right of way on the waves. When the big sets rolling in there is a lot of positioning going on. I think most show respect to each other but sometimes signals are crossed and rider end up on the same wave.
