Chaz Kinoshita and Joaomarco Maffini score perfect Jaws

Chaz Kinoshita and JoaoMarco Maffini score perfect Jaws on the 1st swell of the season.

When we arrived at Maliko Tuesday morning, the entire bay was closing out and it looked almost impossible to launch. We decided it was worth the risk and launched between sets, Chaz and JoaoMarco did a great job getting clear of the ramp but we still damaged the trailor and one of the skis. Only about 6 ski's managed to launch so it was the least crowded we have seen Jaws in years. We towed for over 4 hours and the kids got some of the best rides of their lives.

Thanks to Mike Neal for the awesome pictures. Check out the whole collection at www.mneal.net

Kazuma tow team getting ready for tomorrows giant swell

Chaz Kinoshita 13 yrs old (left) Joao Marco Maffini 13 yrs old(center) have been training all last week with Alfredo Villanova, getting ready for tomorrow's giant swell. Alfredo is the Kazuma tow team trainer and is working wonders with the two Maui super groms.

Earlier in the week, Matt Kinoshita and Ian Walsh fine tuned Ian's Jaws boards and redesigned his Future tow fins for "Big Monday" Matt and Ian will be on it tomorrow with the Magic new boards. Joao and Chaz will probably watch but if it is less than 30 feet, they will sneak in for a few.
