Located on Maui’s North Shore, Ho’okipa is renowned for conditions that allow all manner of surfing. Seasoned windsurfers and surfers gather this Saturday for the ninth annual Cooney Surf Contest. The day-long competition honors the late Steve Cooney, a surfing enthusiast who tragically lost his life in a car accident. Aside from the eight divisions, this year’s special event is the “Invitational Air Show,” which gives contestants the opportunity to show off their aerial maneuvers. All ages welcome, and lunch is included in registration fee. $25 general. $30 Pro-Am. 7am. Ho’okipa Beach Park (Hana Hwy, Paia); 808-579-9526, Hanahwysurf.com/cooney.html
