A recent large south swell crashed along Maui’s West and South facing shores over the holiday weekend and continued into the early part of this week.  A swell that originated off the coast of New Zealand stormed through the south Pacific and continued to push its way to the Hawaiian Islands.  This was a surprise blessing for many Maui surfers who took advantage of the over head size waves with promising surfing conditions.  Check out some of the action below.
