In just a couple of short weeks, the IWT (International Windsurfing Tour) will host the annual Aloha Classic, right here on Maui, at Ho'okipa Beach Park.

Riders are set to travel from across the globe for the final, and biggest, event of the 2017 IWT season which takes place from October 29th until November 12th.



Home vs. Away

Some of the world's best riders will be joined by Maui's biggest names including Kai Lenny, 2x Aloha Classic Champion and current tour leader Morgan Noireaux and 8x World Champion Kevin Pritchard, in what promises to be one of the most exciting windsurfing contests of the year.

As well as competition for professionals, amateurs, women, masters and juniors, all riders will enjoy all that Maui has to offer with a range of off-water activities from the traditional opening ceremony, to evenings in town, free kids windsurfing lessons and a beach clean-up.



The contest will start on Saturday, October 28th with evening check in and registration for all competitions 6-9pm at Rock & Brews. And on Sunday, October 29th the Opening Blessing Ceremony will take place at Ho’okipa Beach Park.
