She`s looking for a competitive team , I can hook her up with Casco Bay . Casco Bay is sort of an all star team made up of largely marathon paddlers who also like to do outrigger races. Kind of like a wahine version of the notorious Illinois Brigade mens team.
Berkshire Outrigger has a good team too, Manuiwa also.
Lots of depth with this crew too , probably could put together two competitive teams , one open , one masters.

thanks so much for the input. i talked to my sister and she's super excited. yeah she's looking to be competitive because we grew up paddling and have done it all our lives. she's 25, so wont be able to qualify for masters just yet! any other recommendations or hook ups would be fantastic!!! thanks again!
