Heard from someone last night that this event is happening again next weekend, march 12. Just wondering why I haven't heard more about it. Even the full page ad Puakea foundation took out in Februarys Pacific Paddler issue didn't mention it. It was a great event last year for me and my family. Can't figure out why its not getting more coverage...any thoughts?
