Winning the 2012 American Windsurfing Tour’s Women Windsurfing Maui event, the Makani Classic, gave Junko a serious set of wings, and you could see her ripping strong all winter so far.

With the new year uncorked, and her moving on and slicing through Hookipa’s swell in her token style, it’s evident that hardware will find its way into Junko’s possession. Since we don’t have any “New Year’s” pictures of Junko ripping the tides just yet, we’ll give you a set of AWT shots that nevertheless give you an idea of what we’re talking about.

Women windsurfing is alive and healthy and Goya Windsurfing is excited to be part of it.
