| TUE 22.12.2009 - SURF DESTINATION: North-West Maui::: |
"Maui welcomes you with its green fantastic scenery which after just a few seconds of its intense exposure will send your mind into a state of euphoria. Palms, azure blue legendary waves, mesmerising tropical vegetation and volcanic peaks all mix together to create a completely unique ambiance. ...Jaws. A place only the fewest surfers dare surf. This notorious surf spot is credited with being the birthplace of tow-in surfing. Laird Hamilton, the waterman, and his crew, consisting of Buzzy Kerbox and big-wave guru Darrick Doerner first surfed Jaws in late 1991. After intense research and trial-and-error the finally decided the day had come. They would tame Jaws, and tame Jaws they did. Pulling one another into 50ft waves they made surfing history."

Today 24th of March: Dubai illegalised surfing at the only spot which has some winter-swell.
" .. On the morning of Tuesday 24th 2009, Dubai's usual keen surfers paddle out for the fun but small 3 foot surf. The fun was soon interrupted when four police cars and two municipality trucks arrived at the scene with fury! Lights flashing and whistles blowing they proceeded to call everyone out off the water. They then demanded for our driving licenses with no explanation. One of the officers threatened a 14 year old boy (who would not have a license in the first place) that he would be put in prison if he did not hand over his license. After all the commotion, 6 of the surfers were issued fines for, according the officers 'sliding on the waves' - "
