After being here a week, and a few runs with the hawaiian and aussies crew we are all gearing up for the race tomorrow.
The race will be 9.5 miles (approx 15.5 km) starting at 9am ( Australian time-monday morning) - staggered starts from within Maliko Gulch and straight into Kahalui harbour.
Here is a few pics from the last few days... with yesterday afternoon being one of the best so far! Some of the quickest and longest runners we have had since we got here!

Having so much fun over here...
Surfing in the morning and downwinders every afternoon.
Yesterday arvo was definately the pick so far, wind was crankin' and the runners were insane, especially the second time over.
Another week to go and hopefully another Maliko run or two every day.
Lucky buggers , geez you are all gunna be fit.What is the difference between downwinders over their and here?
we had the total opposite today. from new brighton to byron bay 18 k's of up wind, up swell, up everything. it was the coffs harbour saturday race last year all over again. can only sit and stew about what all the crew are scoring. good luck with the race all
cheers
Very nice pic of 2 very nice boards !! I like the thought of a little more width & volume, a little further forward, on the F-16 v's the 17 Glide. But that F-16 looks like at least an F-16.5 ! Maybe it's the camera angle, and the F-16 is slightly closer...
Awsome looking board and a great run.
Say hi to Courts for me and ask him to bring an F-16 back for me
Great Photos Jen,
Looks like you guys are having a blast.
How did you go today?
Best wishes to all/
Phill and Kristi.

G'day all
I got approached by this big Maui bikie chick and she asked me if I could be her
b!tch. I said, i'm not into strap-ons, plus I'd need a full bottle of cane-cutters cordial (bundy rum). This bikie chick had the biggest set of hooters I've ever seen, I said at least when I'm sitting on the back I've got something to hold onto.
too funny
