It was a simple and glorious assignment. Fly to Maui and go to the world famous Kanaha beach for a day and meet as many female windsurfers as possible. It was a perfectly logical thing to do for an issue totally devoted to women.

Sea Nymphs

By Douglas Faulkner

The poetic muses of Faulkner’s work leave us with memories of an underwater world of gentle giants. Hints of their presence are often sighted as we windsurf across the surface of the ocean.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved colors, and the sea is rich with them in every imaginable form and combination. Colors I would never wear I collect nonetheless, thereby expressing my hidden needs.
