29/10/2017 – L’IWT (International Windsurf Tour Tour) ha inaugurato la 7ma Annual Aloha Classic questa mattina con una cerimonia tradizionale per i 100 concorrenti.
I riders sono venuti da tutto il mondo per unirsi a Maui per due settimane di windsurf a Ho’okipa Beach Park e si sono riuniti questa mattina per festeggiare con una cerimonia di apertura hawaiana tradizionale oltre alle parole dell’organizzatrice del tour Sam Bittner e del giudice Duncan Coombs.
La swell sta pompando sulla costa nord di Maui negli ultimi giorni, ma purtroppo il vento era troppo leggero per correre oggi la competizione. La previsione mosta che il vento dovrà aumentare alla fine della settimana.
