Talia Gangini's one of Maui's hottest names at the moment and she's definitely one to watch on the stand up paddle tour this year. You could say Talia is another claim to fame for the little town of Paia on the north shore of Maui, which is renowned for being the starting place of most Stand up paddling companies in the world, including her sponsors Coreban, plus Naish and Cabrinha. It's also the much loved (and talked about) home towns of many high profile waterman (whether it's kitesurfing, SUP or Windsurfing). There's just something about this little hippy town that breeds creativity, plus the fact that one of the best (and most reliable) downwind runs on the planet runs right by the town.
