Maui was super gusty this year,
I sailed mainly 5.2 and 4.7 for the three weeks, as it was gusty, I tended to always find the not so windy bits when it was like this!
couple of days prior to this event it was consistant 30 knots, gusting to 45 throughout the day.....
Watching this sort of racing really gives you an appreciation of how quick these guys go...also how well organised the racing is, it runs very well.....
Bit of agro on the beach this day as well, Matt from Hanzawa's a Naish sailor in the semi pro division lost it when one of the guys in his race went in the wrong heat, throwing confusion into the group, this racing is taken very seriously!
I just loved it how Phil Mcgain , Micah and KP raced their heats, crossed the finish line, parked their gear on the beach, strolled up, sat on their deck chairs and continued their conversations as though nothing had happened! They are all legends......
Peter Bjil won the event? I though KP did? hmmmmmm
Looks like Peter Bilj won the pro division, though Kevin may have won his age division;

It's both disappointing and bizarre that the PWA tour no longer pays a visit to the Mecca of our sport.
