Just got back home after the 35 km 2nd leg from Maliko to Honalua Bay and I'm glad it's over.

Wind was a lightish at around 15 knots from the side and a little behind for the first half but slowly turned to come from behind us for the rest. Glad to do it as it's a good race for Aussies who are used to that sort of thing but doing 2 Maliko's a day in 20-30 knots is far more fun.

Anyway, result to be confirmed but this is what I know at the moment.
1st Conner. Bullet
2nd Some really fast dude on some really fast board. Not sure of his name.
3rd Livio. Bullet. Super close between the first 3. Only about a minute according to Dave K.
4th Bart. Bullet.
5th Andy Davies. Naish 17. Yeeww.
6th Sam Parker. Naish 17.
7th Robert Teritehau. F18. Former legend windsurfer.
8th Mark Raaphorst. Bullet.
9th Jeremy Riggs. Bullet.
10th Junyah on his F20. Beast of a board.

Fly home tomorrow.

Sam.

Nice one Sam, hows Robert T doing it on an F18 in 20 to 30 knots, did he ever fall?

Hey sam, What happen with the girls? i'm guessing Andrea?

Sorry I was a bit unclear about todays windstrength as we only got around 15 ish at best. 20-30 was every other days doing Maliko's.

Robert still looks fit and healthy and was paddling Scott Trudon beast. Didn't see him fall but I think everyone had a couple of falls. Kind of needed to as it was a hot day without much of the usual cooling winds.

Sam.

Well done buddy. Sounds like a mission.

Great work Sam and all the other Aussies :-)

hi ali. have you decided on a board for the big one?

cheers
ps well done on the two races

Yep, I'm using my new (2nd hand) f14, but leaving the rudder in and paddling the unlimited class not the stock class. After training on a 12'6 all year the Naish 17 just felt like too much board for me and the f14 is much easier for me to paddle and manoeuvre between the bumps. The f14 may not have the same top speed as the 16 and 17ft boards but I'd rather be on something I'm comfortable paddling than a bigger board that i struggle to get moving between the bumps.

Good luck Ali.. The F14 should work well.. The black nose Naish looks nice..

DJ

G'day Alicat
You're having bulk fun in Maui STOKED FOR YA
It's doesn't matter where you come in any of the races as long as you have a GO
Are you bringing the f14 back to Australia ?
You staying at the Maui Seaside ?

I am looking forward to your facial expressions after you paddle the Pai'lolo Channel you're going to be frothing, hope the wind gets 20 knots +

So what happened Dave? You all good?

Yeah go the Aussie crew! Great effort in what sounds like very tough conditions.
Sounds like the boys and girls are garnering some respect!
Go the Air guitar! Yeeew!

Alii Cat is a tough cookie. She did 2 maliko runs the other day with some of my friends and never slowed. She also did 2 Malikos again today. Not sure how many she has done in total but that is huge. Most mortals male or female wouldn't do 1/3 she is doing. Great job and maybe well see you tomorrow.

Aloha
