Maui Aloha Classic 2017

A fine settimana inizia l’Aloha Classic a Maui… tutto è pronto per il più grande evento della stagione IWT (International Windsurfing Tour) 2017 che andrà in onda ad Ho’okipa Beach dal 29 ottobre al 12 novembre.

I riders iscritti stanno arrivando da tutto il mondo a Maui e come sempre, in questa classica finale del tour, potremo vedere all’opera i migliori wave riders in circolazione a cominciare da alcuni vincintori delle scorse edizioni come Kai Lenny e Bernd Roediger, Morgan Noireaux, attuale leader del tour, l’inossidabile Kevin Pritchard e molti altri…

Come è buona consuetudine, l’IWT, oltre alla competizione per i professionisti, darà spazio anche alle gare degli amatori, delle donne, dei master e degli junior e non mancheranno, anche questa volta, quella serie di attività fuori dall’acqua, corollario degli eventi IWT, a partire dalla tradizionale cerimonia di apertura, alle serate in città, alle lezioni di windsurf gratuite per i bambini e alla pulizia della spiaggia.
L’evento avrà inizio sabato 28 ottobre con l’iscrizione e la registrazione a tutte le gare dalle 18 alle 21aal Rock & Brews.
Domenica 29 ottobre la tradizionale cerimonia di apertura con tanto di benedizione si svolgerà al Parco di Ho’okipa Beach.
