Getting ready for Maui AWT

I'm excited that my wife is joining me for my 6th AWT event.

Aloha Classic 2015

I went to my first AWT event in Maui in 2013 with some good windsurfing buddies.

I then made more friends in Cape Verde and Santa Cruz and was thrilled to bring 4 family members to Baja and my sister to Hatteras.

My 116 litre Fanatic freewave board is packed in case the wind is light. I'm flying Westjet since Air Canada doesn't allow windsurfing boards (or anything over 200 cm).

We're staying with windsurfing friends for the first week on the north shore, and then we'll stay with my Canadian university buddy in Wailea the second week.

I was asked what my goals are for the event. Very simple:

• To have a great vacation with my wife.
• To catch 2 waves in each of my 4 heats, 
• To have one good photo taken of me on a wave at Ho'okipa
• I also want to get in some great sessions on the days when I'm not watching the pros sail. 
• And not get injured.
• If I don't break any gear, that will be a bonus.

Opening night registration is Tuesday Oct 27th!
