Congratulations to local sailor Jeff Sutherland for his 4th place finish in the PWA Aloha Classic Wave Championships in Maui (Open men). Thanks to DWD for the link.

From the Press release:

"Following the Grand Masters Men, the Open Men continued progressing through round three into the semi finals in the man on man format. Top three waves and top jump of the heat were counted for each sailor. Into the semi final came Josh Stone, Jesse Brown, Jeff Sutherland, and Graham Ezzy, which Stone and Jesse advanced into the final, and Sutherland and Ezzy went to the losers final, which Graham took the 3rd spot and Sutherland the 4th. "

Way to go Jeff...but I bet he's kicking himself for missing the big SE this morning
