This highly anticipated event saw more than 200 competitors and was blessed with excellent conditions – 25 knot trade winds kicked in on race day after a solid week of atypical light onshore winds. The Naish sponsored downwind race runs 9.5 miles, from Maliko Gulch to Kahului harbor; features both lay down and stand up paddling, and has grown in just three years to include competitors from all over the world.

Jamie Mitchell (Australia) left no doubts that he is the man to beat in the lay down unlimited class (longer than 13 foot) easily taking the win, while fellow Australian Shakira Westdrop was first in the women’s unlimited class. In the lay down paddle board stock class (under 12 foot), Talia Ganjini scored one for the home (Maui) team, and Mikey Cote won the men’s division.

Adding to the excitement of the Stand up paddle race was the challenge to beat the time of the best unlimited class lay down paddlers. Dave Kalama put the hammer down in no uncertain terms, beating Jamie Mitchell by more than 6 minutes and absolutely dominating the unlimited Stand up fleet. Maui’s Andrea Moller decisively won the womens division. In the SUP stock class (under 13 feet with no rudder), legendary Jacques bartender Devin Blish won the the girls division, and fellow Maui paddler Jeremy Riggs brought it home in the mens fleet.

Naish introduced the new Stand Up Surf Glide 12’0”, a stock class stand up board designed for cruising on flatwater and downwind conditions as well as for riding small surf. Using the new board, legendary shaper Harold Iggy took 2nd in his age division and Naish product manager Michi Schweiger scored 3rd overall in the Stand Up Stock Class, showing the competition potential of this promising new design.

A big Mahalo to event organizers Blair Thorndike and John Ganjini for a job well done, and https://volunteeringbradford.org/cheap-tramadol/ for setting the pace for even bigger events in the future of Stand up paddling.
