2013 Spring ReCap

IMG_8813

What a Spring, what a Spring!  Windy windy windy, the only weird thing was that it was almost all north wind and we only had a few good batches of warm SW.  No worries though, virtually no one was complaining since it was 20+ knots virtually every day!  We were super busy with events, too, starting with the Makani Fins week and Windfest.

Makani Fins week was pretty crazy, with lots of wind, free clinics, parties, pro riders, the AWT was here, Windsport Magazine was here testing freestyle boards, and who knows what else happened??  You know the saying- What happens at Makani Fins week STAYS at Makani Fins week!  ;)   Check out the Facebook page and take a look at all the pictures and videos of the action, on and off the water!
