Devin wins M2M!!!
« on: July 14, 2014, 07:15:55 AM »
Devin Blish won the Maui to Molokai race beating a field of strong paddlers. She has been a SUP racing fixture on Maui for a long time and was one of the first Maui SUP women way back when SOS started making SUPS. She paddles for KeNalu. She has been a longtime Maui resident, windsurfing, surfing, and now SUPing. She grew up in Verbier, Switzerland with a strong skiing background. She is also a really great person. So proud of her. Congratulations Devin!!!!

Wow, that's just super. She's been getting very fast over the last few years. Congratulations Devin.

Woohoo!  Congrats to Devin on a well earned victory!  I can't imagine that anyone enjoys their time on the water more.

Here's a video I shot of Devin giving Ralph the business.  She's so good.  Cam is on the nose of my ski.

Great footage LPB.  Your positioning with your ski was excellent.  Shirley asked if a jet ski was following... that's a pretty good complement.

For those of you that still think blade size has to do with muscle--take a look at Devin's paddle. That's a Molokai. It's bigger than she is. But she's a low cadence, power paddler so it fits her.

Great video Larry. Only thing is that Devin makes it look so easy. She's always been good, but the past few years she's really jumped to a new level.
