You've been living on Maui for 20 years now. Does a windy day in Hookipa still appeal to you?
SEEGER: Yesterday was a great day in Hookipa. I was down on the beach with my son and we watched the windsurfers. There were six-metre waves rolling in and I explained the waves to my son, how the surfers have to push their equipment under the water after a wipe-out or how to watch out for rocks and currents. Although I didn't have any equipment with me, I realised that I would always be a windsurfer.
