Keauhou Canoe Club's Kuuipo Race
Photos by Scott Wilson
On a beautiful West Hawaii day, 109 paddlers showed up Saturday at Keauhou Bay to remember the late Eda "Kuuipo" Hinchcliff, a long time H.I.P.A. racing member and Keauhou paddler, by paddling in the three events sponsored by Keauhou Canoe Club. Results of the events are attached.
All three races started at the same time outside the Sheraton Keauhou Bay, with the Juniors and Paddleboards turning at Kahaluu's little blue-roof church and returning to Keauhou for a 3 mile course.
The biggest event participation of the day was the 7 mile short course, which made its U turn at Lyman's Bay and returned to the finish line inside Keauhou Bay. The intrepid long course paddlers turned seaward at the Lyman's Bay turnaround boat and headed out to make the outside turn on the official boat stationed by the V V buoy, 3 miles offshore. They then completed their triangle course by heading back into Keauhou Bay for a total of 11+ miles of paddling.
Keychain medals, and Special Division awards were presented by Eda's Ohana, and Keauhou Canoe Club's super chefs and members served a delicious lunch to all present.
Next week's Steinlager/H.I.P.A. Championship Races will be sponsored by Steinlager and Hawaii Island Paddlesports Association, with registration for both the long and short courses taking place at Kawaihae Canoe Club at 7:30 a.m.. Check the HIPA website or the race hotline at 969-6695 for further race information.
