Kohala Coast Challenge Results
[Photos]
The best attended race of the season took place today at Kawaihae - the 12th Annual Kohala Coast Challenge, put on by Beanie Heen and Frank Snow. The beautiful race shirts designed by Frank Snow, and given to every paid entrant, always makes this event popular.
The race features many divisions for paddleboards, and brought out 15 very competitive paddleboard participants for the challenge, along with 25 kids who also raced on the 3 mile course with the paddleboards. Several paddlers took advantage of the chance to race in two events, since the paddleboards and short course were run at the same time, followed by the long course.
The 5 mile short course from Kawaihae Harbor to Black Point and back, drew 80 boats (both canoes and surfskis) and the 9 mile long course, from Kawaihae Harbor to Makailio Point and return had 49 craft on the water.
The awards presentation followed a terrific pa'ina served up by the Heen family, along with Beanie's champion women paddlers.
