Sean Ordonez Sean Ordonez is the man! as a sailor he is creative and bold with a flair of style that is totally original. Sean leads the way in board designs and is our detail oriented tester/designer.

Jennifer Henderson Jennifer Henderson is currently the undisputed queen of Ho'okipa. A good example of this was Monday October 28th 2002 when a huge swell at Ho'okipa kept all the pros off the water due to 30+ ft waves and light wind. All pros except Jennifer who ripped it up for 1.5 hours alone. Jennifer is responsible for the Diva sail line and Diva board line from Starboard.

Sierra Emory Sierra is our big Hawaiian waterman and the man who spends the most time at Jaws. The Smack is his sail of choice as he needs good power and absolute durability. (look for a sick video coming soon showing him testing the sail to the absolute maximum) At 6'2 and nearly 200lbs, Sierra can really push the limits. Check Sierra at Jaws

Raimondo Gasperini Raimondo is the Italian leader of new school freestyle and is the master of port tack tricks. Innovating bizarre moves like back loops coming IN through the surf (!!) set him apart from the mere twirlers of the freestyle circuit. Raimondo has won nearly every Italian event he has entered in the last few years. Look for Riamondo in PWA freestyle events. His secret weapon is the Psyclone, especially in light winds.

Brad Drummond Brad Drummond is a creative Canadian sailor that can bust some serious cold water moves. Currently based in the Gorge, Brad is a leader in innovative moves and is best known for his nearly impossible "Drum Roll" move I will not even try to explain. Freestyle and wave sailing are his favorite venues and he mixes his quiver with Smacks in high wind, and Psyclones for light wind.

Jace Panebianco Jace Panebianco is a hard sailor to classify. While he competes on the PWA world tour in Freestyle (Ranked 28th), he is also competitive in racing and wavesailing. The odd thing is that competition isn't what is important to Panebianco. Jace's motivation lies in the adventure--he finds this in the form of travel stories and boat trips, Trans Atlantic Races and inventing new moves like the Crazy Pete! To power him on his travels Panebianco exclusively uses the Psyclone!....

Federico La Croce Innovation and persistence are the trade mark of Federico's sailing style. A Milano native, Federico sails the lakes of northern Italy near his home. Federico sails a combination of small Smack and large Psyclone sails to compliment his freestyle expertise. Look for Federico on Maui in the summer time and prepared to be seriously wowed by his smooth, bizarre manoeuvres!
