Hawaii is definitely one of those places where you can get up at sunrise and go from one adventure to the next... all day long
Hawaii is also an amazing place to skydive in the winter. The weather hangs around a steady 80 degrees all day and the dropzone is always busy with happy tourists.
I love that there are lots of great wingsuit pilots to fly with: Carson, Liz, Pat, Derick, Tk, Dani, Niko, Sebastian.....all dedicated FUNHAVERS!!
As the day heats up, the wind comes off the ocean and creates great conditions for speed flying.
It's rare to fly an 8 meter speed wing for longer than a minute or two, but this day, we were able to fly the west side for 2.5 hours
3 or 4 times a year the wind will switch and we can fly the west side. Steep cliffs rise off the shoreline & at the top there are lots of otherworldly looking communications installations including several huge spheres and a giant satellite dish, oh...... and rainbows.
The waves are very powerful here with some of the best surfing in the world! The amazing friends aren't too bad either!
The sunsets are amazing as well.
Better get to sleep, The sun rises early tomorrow time for another KAVU day.
