Kama'ili Nursery Pohoiki Challenge
Results of the Hawaii Island Paddlesports Association Kama'ili Nursery Pohoiki Challenge, held Saturday, Feb. 23 in Puna. The short course was 8 miles from Pohoiki Boat Ramp to Kahena Beach, while the long course ran for 10 miles, with a 1 mile northward leg from Pohoiki before turning around, then also finished at Kahena Beach.
One challenge of this course is landing the canoes through the surf, then dismantling the canoes on Kahena's black sand beach (noted for "clothing optional") and passing the canoes up the face of the winding trail to the top of the cliff, from person to person. All paddlers safely completed this course today, as did the canoes.
The event was followed by a great awards party, featuring first place prizes of beautiful orchid plants from Kama'ili Nursery race sponsors, Bev and Afa Tuaolo. Traditional Filipino food and Jello shooters, along with many bottles of Steinlager, made for much merriment at the post race party.
Next week's race, the 14th Annual Kohala Coast Challenge, will take place on Saturday, March 1 at Kawaihae.
