Lock in the dates.
All 3 races should be epic downwind.
Race 2 has been changed so that is less of a "warrior" (side-wind) challenge and now incorporates a nice Maliko finish to Baldwin Park.
Don't do what I did last year and book flights late or it will cost you a packet. Retn flights are about $1K from Syd at the moment for this time at the moment.
Here are the details: http://www.handsomebuggaproductions.com/index.html#

G'day Kissa
Looking forward to seeing you over on Maui I'm frothing already Handsome Bugga puts on the best Downwind races on the planet. There is a new International flight starting in December Brisbane to Honolulu $1,000 return. Are you taking a SUP with you Kissa or ordering a new SIC or hiring a SUP I've ordered a new SIC and am going to leave it on Maui so I can have a 2 week vacation every year to do a Maliko run and not worry about a SUP. BIG year for me next year I turn 50 with Fiji - Maui - Maldives.

Hey Big Fella.
Yep - ordered a Bullet. Nothing else comes close to these things and I think it is highly unlikely one would be available for rent. If there was one, it would command $500/wk so you may as well buy one if you are there for a while.
I'll be over there with family for all the races. Alot of the Sydney crew are making noises about going as well...
Turning 50 eh! Will still be competitive in that age group! Those guys are flying and have Maliko wired

The Triple Crown races were great fun this year and looking forward to heading back again next year. Should be even better now that they've changed the course for Race 2.
If you can't make it over for all 3 races, make sure you get there for Race 3 (Maui to Molokai). The 2nd half of this race was the most fun downwind run I've ever done - even better than Maliko! Can't wait to do it again.
