The conditions provided for a sheer afternoon of delight for most. To date that has been the best Makena race. It was a bit strange racing in the opposite direction as landmarks look a bit different from the other approach however the rides were fast, long and steady all the way to the beach. It turned out to be a wise decision to postpone the race for a day as the Wailea paddlers reported that it took them 10 minutes just to get out through the sets the day prior and that the ocean was much gnarlier on Sat.
