NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic - 2016

  • Sehr geil, KP hat es gemacht.


    After a week of light winds the trades finally returned on the last day of the 2016 NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic to provide a pulsating end to the event, which saw Kevin Pritchard (Starboard / Ezzy / MFC) defend his single elimination crown, while Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) fought her way back through the double elimination with be crowned the women’s Aloha Classic Champion.Women’sSarah-Quita Offringa produced a scintillating comeback through the double elimination as the Aruban gem won five heats on the bounce to deny Sarah Hauser (Tabou / Simmer / MFC) the event title. On her road to final, Offringa produced a 10 point wave against Motoko Sato (Starboard / Severne) as she unleashed a gouging turn before launching into a sick aerial, which the 25-year-old celebrated with cheers upon landing. Sato, sailed a terrific heat with a stylish backloop of her own as well as severally fluidly linked waves, but couldn’t quite defeat Offringa, who also landed a big end forward. Offringa’s next victim was Junko Nagoshi (Goya Windsurfing) and this setup the final.Sarah-Quita OffringaIn the final the wind dropped, so the decision was made to remove the jump and the final was a close run affair throughout, however, Offringa came out on top to force a super final.In the super final the wind dropped further making Heat 50 a true tactical battle with wave selection being absolutely crucial. The super final proved to be another tight-knit affair with both girls showing excellent selection and execution, but in the end, Offringa was able to edge the duel by just half a point. Hauser saved her best effort until last as she timed a super late hit off the lip, but it wasn’t quite enough, while Offringa’s fluid more powerful turns earned her a first victory on the wave world tour and had this to say upon winning: “I’m feeling super, super excited, but I’m feeling pretty tired after today’s sailing so I’m not fully celebrating yet. I didn’t expect today’s conditions and I was already happy with fifth place, but this is the BOMB! (runs off shouting and screaming).”Sarah-Quita OffringaMen’s The battle for second and third place between Levi Siver (Quatro / Goya Windsurfing / MFC) and Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) lived up to expectations with frontside 3s, air takas silky smooth turns throughout, but Siver couldn’t find a response to Browne’s sensational double forwards and the Brazilian marched on to set up a repeat of the single elimination final against Kevin Pritchard.In the final Pritchard and Browne were almost inseparable on the wave scores for a long time, but Browne once again pulled the trigger on a sublime double forward to open up a lead. KP fought back with an 8.5 point wave, which left the two sailors tied on 24.76 points. However, immediately afterward Browne earned perfect 10s as he landed another impeccable air taka to force a super final.Marcilio BrowneThere was an explosive start to the final with both Pritchard and Browne finding sizeable ramps on their first runs. Browne launched into a monster backloop, but couldn’t quite stick the landing, while KP broke into an early lead with a textbook one-footed backloop. Over the remainder of the heat the two of them went blow-for-blow, but as the end of the heat approached it looked Browne had turned the tables. However, Pritchard wasn’t done yet and he produced a stunning buzzer beater consisting of a tweaked air straight into a one-handed aerial and a tag on the end section, which swung the tie on its head to be crowned the 2016 Men’s NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic.Kevin PritchardThe margins are so fine at the top of the game that Browne will be left reflecting on possibly what could've been as if he’d have stuck his opening backloop or landed his goiter on his penultimate wave then he may have claimed victory. However, you cannot take anything away from Pritchard, who has excelled in all conditions and deservedly ends the event as the champion.Marcilio Browne's backloopKevin Pritchard reflects on a week of waiting and finally being crowned champion: “That’s probably the most stressful week of my life. It’s just been unbelievable. My mind is blown and I’m super happy.”Kevin PritchardThat concludes an enthralling last day and another epic edition of the NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic. Congratulations to all the sailors and sponsors involved. We’ll be back next year with the 2017 PWA World Tour.Result 2016 NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic - Women’s1st Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins)

    With epic conditions being witnessed at last year’s Aloha Classic it was always going to be difficult to surpass the conditions which we were lucky enough to see in 2015. However, this year will live long in the memory as Ho’okipa managed to outdo itself with even more conditions — from frightening solid double mast high waves to some of the best conditions ever witnessed this year’s NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic was certainly one to remember.


    Highlights of all time Ho'okipa on Day 6

    Women’s

    Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) capped off an amazing 2016 — which has seen her win two world titles and complete the podium in the waves — in the best way possible as she fought her way back through the double elimination on a dramatic final day to earn her first victory on the wave world tour by winning the most prestigious event in windsurfing as she was crowned the 2016 NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic Champion.


    Sarah-Quita Offringa

    Sarah Hauser (Tabou / Simmer / MFC) showed her big wave prowess during the single elimination as she tamed Ho’okipa’s fierce waves to take the victory in the single. However, on the final day and with the wind rapidly fading the 27-year-old saw first place snatched from her claws. Hauser still records her best result on the PWA World Tour — improving on her 4th place finish here last year — while she also finishes 2016 as the American Windsurfing Tour champion.


    Sarah Hauser

    Junko Nagoshi (Goya Windsurfing) completes the podium at this year’s Aloha Classic, while fellow Japanese Motoko Sato (Starboard / Severne) places fifth.

    Fiona Wylde (Starboard / Sailworks) came into the event with high hopes having finished second here in 2014 and 2015, but unfortunately suffered a broken foot after landing an aerial awkwardly during the single elimination, so with the completion of the double Wylde falls back to fourth place. Everyone from the PWA Would like to wish Fiona a speedy and successful recovery.

    Men’s

    Title Decider

    Victor Fernandez’s (Fanatic / NorthSails / MFC / Shamal Sunglasses) agonising wait for a second world title finally came to an end on Day 6 of the Aloha Classic as his sole remaining challenger — Alex Mussolini (RRD / RRD Sails) was eliminated from the double elimination — meaning it was mathematically impossible for the Spaniard to be caught. Fernandez was in a league of his own in the opening two events of the year, which set him on course for a second world crown and the 32-year-old deservedly ends the season as world champion.

    Meanwhile, Mussolini walks away from the 2016 season as the PWA vice-world champion and he’ll no doubt be back in 2017 with another title challenge.


    Alex Mussolini

    Back to the battle for the prestigious Aloha Classic and Kevin Pritchard (Starboard / Ezzy / MFC) showed he’s a formidable force in any conditions at Ho’okipa as he won the single elimination in XXL Ho’okipa — where he continually nailed massive aerials off the biggest sections to win the 4-man final — before successfully defending his single elimination crown defeating Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) in a super final as the 40-year-old showed he can still throw down the latest tricks with air takas and tweaked aerials of his own to earn a monumental victory.


    Kevin Pritchard

    Browne looked extremely impressive himself in all conditions, but his performance on the final day really stood out as he landed a seemingly effortless and never ending combination of air takas, goiters and double forwards to secure second place at the Aloha Classic. Crucially, the Brazilian couldn’t quite land a massive backloop in the super final and with the margins so fine at the top of the game — this proved to be the difference between victory and second. Brawzinho entered Maui in fifth place, but his performance here sees him leapfrog Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails) and Jaeger Stone (Starboard / Severne / SWOX / Shamal Sunglasses) to claim the final place on the prestigious overall podium.


    Marcilio Browne

    Levi Siver (Quatro / Goya Windsurfing / MFC) won the Aloha Classic in 2013 and he delivered another trademark display consisting of gouging powerful turns and radical frontside air 360s to complete the podium this time around.


    Levi Siver

    Waterman, Kai Lenny (Naish / Naish Sails / MFC) was narrowly defeated in the semifinals of the single eliminations, but he produced a searing comeback in the double to move up to fourth place. Lenny used his expert local knowledge to earn perfect 10s from the judges on more than once occasion.


    Kai Lenny

    Teammate, Bernd Roediger (Naish / Naish Sails / MFC) combined critical late hits with new school tricks to claim fifth place at this year’s event with Lenny bringing his hopes to an end in Heat 46.


    Bernd Roediger

    Camille Juban (Quatro / Simmer / MFC) was one of the standout sailors on Day 4 and he produced a near perfect heat in Heat 11 as the man the Guadeloupe continually attacked the lip with critically late turns and massive aerials. With only the top sailor progressing from Heat 44 in the double elimination, Juban just missed out on a place in the next round and walks away with sixth place.


    Camille Juban

    Two-time Aloha Classic Champion — Morgan Noireaux (JP / Hot Sails Maui) — entered the event looking to become the first man in history to complete a hat-trick of Aloha Classics, but unfortunately he couldn’t quite repeat the magic of the last two years and had to settle for seventh this time around.


    Morgan Noireaux

    Robby Swift (JP / NeilPryde / Mystic / SWOX) earned a perfect 10 for a wave score for the first time in his career on Day 6, which saw some of the best competition conditions ever seen with Ho’okipa getting as good at it gets. To earn perfect 10s Swift opened with massive aerial, before unleashing a gouging turn straight into an explosive frontside 3 and then tagged the end section. The Brit finished 8th at the Aloha Classic and 6th overall for 2016.


    Robby Swift

    The top 10 is completed by 99NoveNove’s very own Kauli Seadi (99NoveNove / Hot Sails Maui / MFC) and local boy Graham Ezzy (Tabou / Ezzy), who share ninth place.


    Graham Ezzy

    The NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic brings the curtain down in style on the 2016 PWA World Tour and we’d like to thank everyone who made the event possible and we will now look forward to returning in 2017, which promises to see more amazing action on the water.
