i checked a few sites but nothing. I am sure Kissa, Andy and Sam put in a solid show. Sounds like there has been some good conditions.

The Poi Bowl...1st Leg of the Maui Jim Triple Crown of SUP

The Triple Crown consists of Three Events on Maui. The First Event is from Maliko Gulch to Kahului Harbor (9.54 miles). The Second Event goes from Maliko Gulch to Honolua Bay (21-miles). The Third and final Event of the series, paddlers traverse the Pai'lolo channel from Honolua Bay to Kaunakakai Harbor, Moloka'i (27-miles).

These events are on three consecutive weekends – July 3rd, July 10th and July 16th.

On Sunday morning July 3rd – we all had to be at Maliko Gulch by 10:00am. The turnout for the event was great. There were 60 competitors, and they were some of the best on the island. We had our skippers meeting at about 11:00am and the start was before Noon.

The race started inside of Maliko Bay between two buoys. I started towards the left side of the bay. When I got outside of the bay, I was in second place behind Jerry Bess. Within 5 minutes of being in the bumps, I passed him up and I was in the lead. I just put my head down and focused on one thing and that was wining. I looked back to see my competition a few times, but I stayed focused and kept catching bumps. The trade winds were light to moderate, but still was super fun and I got some good long glides.

When I came around the outside of Kahului Harbor I was still in first. I had a good lead on second and third place – Livio Menelau and Mark Raaphorst. So, all I had to do was keep my pace coming into the harbor to the finish line at the beach. At the finish there were a lot of people hooting and hollering for my first place finish!

It was super fun race and a bunch of great competitors. There was good food, awards ceremony and I went home with a beautiful glass trophy and some prize money.

Once I got home – I showered up and was on my way to the airport for the DaHui Independence Day Race – Monday July 4th on Oahu's North Shore.

I want to thank my sponsors for all their help and support – Starboard, Rainbow Sandals, Maui Jim Sunglasses, EFX Technology, Dakine, Nike, GoPro Cameras, On It Pro, Waterman's Sunscreen, Sunrite Maui, SIC and Hi-Tech Sports.

Also a big Mahalo to all the event organizers and volunteers.

Aloha -
Connor Baxter

Not sure exactly as full results haven't been published yet but I think Alan Cadiz got 8th and I can't recall who got 9th. I came across in 10th with Andy super close in 11th. To be honest we were just happy to come in ahead of Andrea who was coming home fast.

Dave on the other hand had a shocker with a rudder that came undone when he was in the top 3. He's been flying all week and was right on Livio's tail when finally he had to stop to try fix it. No luck sadly and he was forced to limp home in the 50's.

Should have a chance to put up some Maliko footage soon. Good wind forecast for the next few days. Sweet.

Sam.

All Aussies but Dave were on Naish 17's. He was on his new Bullet.

Looks like the trades are coming back with some anger today, building through the week in to Sunday's race.

Will get some footage today.

Well done Ali! Great result! Especially since Andrea, Talia, and Devon are the top 3 paddlers on Maui! It looks like those girls had the same placing in the Olu Kai race back in May.

Good luck in the next 2 races Ali - you will kill it!

Hey DJ,

He was on the new 14 and it goes great.

I had the chance to take it on a couple of runs and loved it. Flatter through the nose with softer rails running all the way back.

You'll love it.

Sam.
