Maui Race Series Da Kine Classic

Another Saturday of great racing.
racing was delayed by about an hour as the boat was being repaired.

The wind in the morning was about 7.0 for most sailors.
Afternoon filled in with good 6.3 wind.
Micah again dominated the fleet. is closest Rival out there Is Peter Slate. Weighing in at at least 40 pounds less that is quite a feet.
Phill Mcgain was back with a third in the Pro and winning his age devision.
These 3 are probable the fittest guys in the fleet together with their skill level it makes them pretty hard to beat.
You can also see the races with PWA experience. With Drew Ferrior showing some great results on the one sail one board one fins set up that he has.

There where some new competitors to this event and the one statement was that they underestimated by a lot how tiering 8 races with only a lunch break really is.

I would like to thank the organizers crew sponsors for a great event.
