Maui born and raised Casey Rehrer has been windsurfing since he could walk and recently decided to get very serious about his windsurfing career so had to make a decision and that decision was to join THE TEAM at MauiSails along with the rest of his family.
“We have all seen Casey grow up and continue to be impressed with his performance on the water, but now we are very excited and honored to have him on our sails and look forward to a long and bright future together” – Phil McGain.
Casey comes from a windsurfing family background, with both parents windsurfing, Tom and Bev who can be seen at Kanaha most days. Casey who is focusing on his studies as well as having the luxury of family support will be able to sail Hookipa most afternoons. Casey will also be competing at some of the event of the American Windsurfing Tour and of course the treasure of all windsurfing events on Maui, the Makani classic later in the year.

A few days ago top British wavesailor Robby Swift suffered a serious injury, while training for the upcoming PWA Pozo World Cup. The Professional windsurfers association recently caught up with Robby to find out more, here’s the interview from the PWA:
PWA: What’s the full diagnosis?
RS: “I flew back to England today and have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow morning. Broken ankle and tibia. I need an MRI to check the joint situation. Couldn’t see from the x-ray as I can’t weight bear due to pain and swelling.”
“I’m really gutted as I was more prepared this year than ever for Pozo. I really felt that I could be on the podium at the end of the event and was having so much fun sailing there last night.”
PWA: What happened exactly?
RS: “I did a 1 foot backloop and saw that I was going to crash so I tried to throw the gear away but my back foot got stuck in the strap and I fell down onto the sail with my other foot over the mast and all my body weight squashed my leg into the mast.”
“Anyway, hopefully tomorrow they will give me my prognosis and I will let you know what they say.”
Here’s to hoping Swifty recovers quickly and we see him back on the PWA World Tour soon.
