2007 ALOHA CLASSIC WAVE CHAMPIONSHIPS POSTPONED TO 2008
Maui, HI - The 2007 Aloha Classic Wave Championships, scheduled for Nov 5 -17, has been postponed to 2008. There will be no event this year. We are sad to make this decision at this time but it could not be avoided as the title sponsor pulled out in the past week leaving little time to pursue a similar sponsor of the same caliber.
In combination, there has been a lack of rental housing available on the northshore with the Maui County's crack down on transient vacation rentals, leaving many competitors and sponsors without a place to stay during the event.
Hopefully both issues will be resolved for 2008 and we will be back on track.
On the bright side, the existing sponsors for 2007 have agreed to come on board again for next year and for that we are very grateful. We thank you for your interest and look forward to bringing you the best windsurfing wave event in 2008!
Bummer, this year I would have won it!

Little update/forecast on the sailing conditions in Maui.
Today third day in a row of really fun windswell at Hookipa... I'm sailing my ass off.
Tomorrow a little NW swell will add on top (almost 3 feet, 14 seconds from 335 at 8pm at the NW buoy... that's promising), so it should be even more fun for a couple of days and then another similar one on Sunday. Not a bad September at all.
The only question mark will be those big clouds south of us, but they're already moving west, so I don't think they will be too much of a problem...
Oh yeah, the wind is going to be gusty... just like 99% of the times... no big deal for me and the other Superfreaks of the island!
