I spent the last spring in Maui, Hawaii, mostly sailing Ho’okipa. I’ve been working a lot on my turns, trying to make them more tight, vertical and aggressive. For me that’s the most important thing in waveriding, the most difficult and technically beautiful. In Ho’okipa you can find the best riders in the world and you have the chance to look at their style and technique, which is awesome, but one of my goals is to create my own style and be recognised because of this. Not an easy task, for sure, but that’s the way to be remembered.
Luckily at the end of the trip I got some clips and decided to put them together to do a short video.

Thanks a lot to Giora Koren and Bea Sanchez for the clips, and to my bro Daiki Itoh for his original and stylish editing.
