The timeless, natural radiance of the islands meets the modern luxuries of today, on Oahu. Hike down a lush mountainside, just minutes away from a soaring cityscape. Feast at a luau under the stars one night, dine at a five-star restaurant another. Sunbathe all day on the North Shore then dance all night in Waikiki. There’s no shortage of things to do on Oahu.

What can you do on Oahu?

* Take a surfing lesson on Waikiki Beach
* Watch world-class surfers charge the big waves on the North Shore
* Pay your respects at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor
* Marvel at the American Florentine architecture of Iolani Palace
* Dress up and experience downtown nightlife and art galleries

Anyone on the mainland near oklahoma has a OC1 for sale?

Curious if demos are going to be available or if rentals are? Or if anyone in shouting distance of Kona would let me beg borrow or steal an o-c1. Willing to donate the appropriate rate . Mahalo nui loa, hoe wa'a kahiko.

Since the distance season is coming up... I was wondering if you guys knew anyone who would be able to screen on either the patagonia tees or xcel ones here in hawaii?

The 12th annual Gorge Outrigger Races are taking place July 17-19th on the famous Columbia River Gorge!

This race draws paddlers from all over the Northwest, Canada, California and Hawaii. The unique waters and beautiful gorge make this the premier race in the northwest and the most anticipated event of the season.

On Friday there is a fun downwinder for OC1, OC2 and surfskis. If you're lucky you can get behind the Sternwheeler for a really fun ride! Saturday is the 6-man races and Sunday is the 1-man races and an SUP category as well. Camping is free at the Stevenson Fairgrounds where you really get a chance to visit with all the clubs for the two nights we're there.

KIALOA has always been a proud sponsor of this race and we haven't missed one in all the 12 years. Most of KIALOA employees are paddlers and we look forward to the event every year! KIALOA will have a booth at Bob's Beach with many good deals to be had!

Haha simpsons rocks.

Bought new last summer used 10 times on Lake Champlain. I have decided to sell it. I am located in Burlington, VT. Please feel free to email me at beccah4@gmail.com. I haven't decided on a price, but am willing to consider very reasonable offers as this is essentially brand new.
