Neil Pryde State Championships Photos

Last race today of the 2010 Maui Race Series – the Neil Pryde State Championships. Some pretty wild and gnarly conditions with strong winds and squalls through much of the day. Windy enough that some guys were on their 5.1 race sails. I don’t have the result yet, but here’s some photos I snapped of [...]

The Birth of MauiRaceSeries.com

During the course of this summer’s Maui Race Series I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from the local slalom racers expressing frustration about the lack of information available online for the race series. The Maui Race Series has been going for something like 26 years. It’s the longest running windsurfing race still going. It brings [...]

2010 Maui Race Series Maui Fin Company Open Photos

Gray skies and flukey winds dominated, trying the skill and patience of racers as well as the organizing committee. As I understand it, several heats were abandoned [...]

Maui Race Series Dakine Classic Video

Finally got a chance to finish my chainsaw editing of video from last Saturday’s Dakine Classic, race #2 in the 2010 Maui Race Series. My video camera battery died after about 5 minutes so I had to resort to taking video with my still camera. Then that battery died. So, kind of a hodge podge [...]

Saturday Light Wind Cruising

Winds have lightened up the last few days here on Maui and the north shore surf is almost nil. Lots of slogging at Kanaha yesterday unless you had very large sails (by Maui standards). It was supposed to be as light or lighter today but the thermal action must have done the trick to boost [...]

The 25th annual Maui Race Series kicked off today with fast and furious slalom action in cranking wind and blazing sunshine. Morning heats started off with the age group divisions, Junior Men, Men 19 – 39, Men 40 – 49, Men 50 – 59, Men 60+ and a women’s division. I don’t have official results [...]

Another day of the Maui Race Series at Kanaha today. A few photos:
I’ll throw together a quick video of what I got today and have it up in a day or two.
Winds were a little flukey both yesterday and today and still a bit on the light side but sailable so we won’t complain. Still [...]
