MauiSails wins 4 divisions in the Maui Race Series

22nd July 2014

Number 4 of the Maui Race Series, QuikSilver Cup, is now in the bag with varying conditions at Kanaha this past weekend. A tropical storm on the way to Hawaii messed with the regular trade winds so it was the waiting game until about noon when finally the winds picked up enough to complete the age group races only.

Mens 40 to 49 was dominated by the superstar of Kanaha slalom racing, Micah Buzianis who won 3 of the heats from Peter Slate with another MauiSails rider Mr Kevin Ozee (owner of Second Wind Maui) in third place. Micah was riding his TRX 7.7, got clean starts then used his superior board speed to put distance on his competition.

Mark Boersma sailed well with a first, second and two thirds to put together a strong performance in the Mens 19 to 39 Division, coming in second place to Dan Ellis.

Phil McGain and Mike Yasak put together a good team effort to place first and second in the Mens 50 to 59 age group. Phil winning 3 of the heats and Mike taking the other heat including two seconds and a third. Both Mike and Phil were on their trusty TRX 7.0s.

Juniors was won by Sailor Bockius, sending her old faithful board around the tricky course.

The Womens division was won by Tamara Bockius putting together consistent races taking 3 heats ahead of Argentina Jimenez in second and in her first race of the season Nique Vetromile finishin a strong third place.

Next event is the Hawaii State Championship in two weeks.
