The Maui Race Series enters round 3 this Saturday, July 2nd. Strong winds and close racing have been the hallmarks of the first two hard fought rounds so expect more of the same on Saturday.
The Maui Race Series is a series of five windsurfing race events held every summer at Kanaha Park in Maui, Hawaii. Maui typically has strong, dependable trade winds in the summer months, and a year-round population of hard-core windsurfers, including many past, present, and future pros, so the conditions are perfect for slalom sailing and the competition is always very intense.
Last round’s mens victors included Phil McGain, Mike Yazak, Peter John and David Dowhan. While the women’s Pro division was headed by Tamara Bockius. For full placings see 2011 Dakine Classic Results.
If you are on Maui come on down to Kanaha Beach Park and check out the action, meet the sailors or better yet sign up for this fun event.
