This year there was over 100 girls who participated, more than double from last year. The Butterfly Effect was created by Juliana and Tatiana. They wanted to do a downwind run from Hookipa to Kanaha and thought it would be great to get some girls together for it, and so the Butterfly Effect was born. This year was the 3rd year of it in Maui, and since the first year the girls have brought it to other countries in the world.
The goal: to get women together for a noncompetitive event, to encourage women in ocean sports. The run is 8 miles down the coast in the same direction of the wind. You can Stand-up Paddle, Windsurf, Kitesurf or Canoe. There are prizes and free pizza and giveaways. Along the way, there were plenty of jet skis stocked with photographers and a few for safety. After a pit stop on the beach at Sprecks, a helicopter came and took some amazing photos for us. The afterparty at Jacques was a blast, ending this years event. Here are some photos:
