Maui sails turned 32 years old

Barry Spanier about the 32th birthday of Maui sails:
It was thirty two years ago, in those few days before christmas, that Geoffrey Bourne and I sealed the deal to make our little company that would quickly become known as MauiSails. We had a big dream to make the best yacht sails for the local fleet of cruisers and charter boats, never for a minute even imagining the world of windsurfing that we would finally help to create and develop. What we did know was that Maui had the most amazing sailing possibilities we had ever known about, and there would be plenty of work to help us get through the part about having no capital. The spirits were kind, we made it work, and as they say, the rest was history.

I offer my total appreciation and thanks to the universe for the outcome of our choices, and say 'thank you and the happiest of holidays' to all who have been willing to accept us and enjoy what we did. Life after shipwreck has been pretty darned good to the barefoot vagabonds.
Next year is looking to be very good with lots of things happening that will expand the availability of our equipment and deliver more performance than ever. I am filled with excitement and confidence and so very happy to continue to be part of it, helping others to have a sweet ride. 2011 is coming soon and we are readyto enjoy it.

This week the last stop of the Stand up world tour came to Kai Lenny himself, at honoli'i, Big Island. He was already leading the tour. And It was like a dream come true for Kai when he really became world champion. At Twitter he says: " Best day of my life so far....:)". 

He also said:

"I'm really stoked. It feels great because I worked my whole life to achieve this goal; but I still have so much to learn. It's only the beginning and I want to be ready for next year.

Here's a little Video about what he thinks about it.

Congratulations Kai Lenny!
