The Windiest Day Ever at Ho'okipa Maui 03-25-17

Last Weekend I stopped by Ho'okipa Beach on Maui to check out the Surf, and it was the windiest day ever, so I grabbed my camera and looked for a good spot to hunker down and film the windsurfers.

There were quite a few Photographers out in the water that day, you could not miss the guy in the yellow helmet. The Photographers huddle together for safety, I can not imagine the intensity out there when your job is to get as close as possible to the front side of a speeding windsurfer, or two! These "Super" photographers risk life and limb to get the best shot possible, while at the same time ducking the waves. The only question I have is "Where can I find the video from the guy in the yellow helmet?"

Next time I see these guys out I am going to try to find out where they post their video. If I don't find out, maybe I'll just have to take my helmet out one day and see it for myself!

Check out the YouTube video I made from that day below.

Could this be the Yellow Helmet Guy?

Below is a video "Kamakazi Ho'okipa Windsurfing" by Matt Holton @holtongallery. **Note: Steem Rewards from this post will be split with @holtongallery because I used his video in this post. ** I was watching one of his latest videos, and low and behold, I think I spotted the Yellow Helmet Guy windsurfing at 13:37. Check out Holtongallery's video below!
