Capturing Maui's golden era of windsurfing, from the early pioneering days of Kailua to the big waves at Hookipa and Jaws, this book tells the story of the Kings and legends of the sport as it evolved from longboards to high-performances in big surf. Fictional dialogue accompanies remarkable true events of survival, from near-drownings to helicopter crashes. Told by Sports Illustrated Picture of the Year (POY) award-winning photographer and filmmaker Jonathan Weston. He was the first filmmaker to take the audience along for the ride with his innovative point-of-view (POV) helmet-mounted 16mm movie camera. The thrills, dangers and behind the scenes experiences are all shared in this epic tale of perseverance and survival.

Reviews for Maui Glory Days: Return to the Impact Zone

Insanely good! Bruce Matlack, First Windsurfing World Champion Wind, waves, girls and rocks what could go wrong? Jonathan Weston takes us back to the trial and error period of wavesailing at Hookipa where the rocks loomed like sirens. Exploits of rock and roll adrenaline junkies who gravitated to the pulse of energy that was Maui in the 80s. This book is the 'Top Gun' of windsurfing. Bill Boyum, Author, Journals from the Edge. A remarkable story of perseverance and triumph of the human spirit. We lived in a magical land and seascape, and Maui's 'Glory Days' were an incredible moment in time. The heart of the story is the turbulence Jonathan survived along the way. I picked the book up and read it through a lazy Sunday afternoon and into the evening until the final page was turned. Barry Spanier, Sailmaker, Author, The Bare Chronicles
