A fun day was had by all on Saturday September 3rd at Mala Wharf in beautiful down town Lahaina.  With approximately 75 contestants we started the day with clean head high waves.  The winds cooperated for the most part during the long day at the beach and we even got a nice glass off for the finals in the late afternoon.  The competition was stiff this year with Kalei Kahahani dominating the contest with multiple 10's in every heat.  But when it was said and done the final line up was Mark Anderson/first - Kalei Kahahani/second - Buz Moffett/third - Albert Jenks/fourth - Pete Peterson/fifth and Boy Ah Hee /Sixth.  Thanks so much to Kimos and TS restaurants for putting on the contest as well as all our great judges and volunteers for making it happen - it is a great tradition that will go on for years to come.  My only question is will I ever win the friken thing?
