More Racing Menehunes
Saturday was another great day of racing at the Maui Race Series. According to Maui Windsurfing Blog field reporter Norm Roediger, "The morning heats had nice wind and the afternoon got crazy."
The Menehune division continues to steal the show. Jake Golm took first place in the Menehune division. He later went on to win the wave division as well, despite competing against a much, much older group of sailors. Catch some of the Menehune racing action in this video.

Caught a nice lunchtime session today at Kanaha. Pretty good 5.0 wind and some fun little wind swell at Uppers. Good timing - the wind dropped off after about 2:30 or 3:00 today.
Tons and tons of kids out at Kanaha lately - beginners just learning for the first time as well as young experienced rippers honing their skills. Don't know about the rest of the world but windsurfing is alive and well here on Maui and set to keep growing with all these kids getting into it.

Gee, how much older were those old guys? Did they need special parking for their walkers between heats?

Waaaay older. ;-) Some of the kids competing in the wave class are what... 12 years old or so? Some of the adults are what.... not just twice as old, but 3 - 4 times as old. Geesh.
Whatever happened to that old saying, "age and guile will out beat youth and ???something??? everytime"? Not that I'm criticizing the old guys. I'm sure I'd find myself in their situation too if I decided to compete. Just gotta raz you guys a bit.
