  • The Aloha Classic is touted as "the single most prestigious event in the windsurfing world".

The Aloha Classic has often been the final event of the Professional Windsurfers Association (PWA) crowning the PWA Wave World Champions. During the 1980s and 1990s The Aloha Classic was a Grand Slam event offering competition in all three of the Professional Boardsailing Association PBA/PWA windsurfing disciplines: wave riding, slalom (windsurf)|slalom and course racing. Due to the difficulty of raising high levels of prize money through sponsorship, the event could not always offer all disciplines or get the status of an official PWA World Cup. Since 2011, the contest has focused entirely on radical wave riding. During the 1990s, a second competition was regularly held in Ho'okipa, known as the Maui Invitational. 1994-1995 there was a third competition, known as the Chiemsee World Cup Maui. With eight victories at these various Hookipa events, Robby Naish is the most successful competitor in the wave contests at Ho'okipa, followed by Jason Polakow (4), Mark Angulo (3) Morgan Noireaux (3). For the women, Angela Cocheran (7) is the best performer in history with seven victories in wave riding, ahead of Iballa Ruano Moreno (4) and Debbie Brown (3). (Status of 2020) (en)

Er findet im in einem Zeitraum von zwei Wochen an 5 zusammenhängenden Tagen Ende Oktober statt. Der Start erfolgt nach Wetterlage in der Zeit mit den besten Wellen auf Maui. Bis zum Jahr 2006 war der Aloha Classic ein Grand Slam bei dem Wettbewerbe in allen Disziplinen (Wave, Slalom und Kursrennen), ausgefahren wurden. In den folgenden Jahren fehlten Sponsoren und damit die finanziellen Mittel, so dass die Veranstaltung nicht den Status eines Worldcups erlangen konnte, die Wettbewerbe der Damen nicht durchgeführt wurden, oder der Aloha Classic gar nicht stattfinden konnte. Seit 2013 bildet der Aloha Classic den Saisonabschluss der IWT als Wave-Wettbewerb für Damen und Herren. Sofern die Finanzierung sichergestellt ist, findet gleichzeitig der Saisonabschluss der Wave-Tour der PWA im Rahmen des Aloha Classic statt. (de)
