Since you guys talked about this lets make it an official thread. We still need to discuss criteria for crew selection. Depends and evening gowns seem too restrictive for team outfits so I vote for one piece swim suits and NO bikini waxing allowed. Wear it proud baby. And then while traveling to international races (hopefully fuzerider will sponsor us so we can have a boat waiting no matter where we travel) we'll wear the evening gowns.
Since I waste tons of time at work I have designed a super hi-tech detailed team logo that will appear on everything we use. Hard core members will have it tattooed somewhere highly obvious and super hardcore members will have it tattooed on their members.
No aquafiend, I don't think you can be a member. You have to be voted in and since I voted NO and I'm the only one who voted so far you are losing at 0-1. Sorry, life sucks and then you die.
Poopie!

I like it. Any ideas about some gang signs OCP mafia members can throw? Just to make sure anyone wearing the logo is legit.
#1 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 2:04pm
Oh please poo........after all I did coin the phrase.
We could be homeys, you and me.
Poo: "Yo, aqua's my boyeeee"
#2 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 2:10pm
I know one sign I can throw. I use it in traffic sometimes.
#3 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 3:13pm
Yeah thats the same sign I'd use for aqua....
Kimo, you're right though, we need a sign..

What do we do with the profit from the t shirt sales? This is going to be huge.
#6 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 5:10pm
Give it to Keizo to cover costs?
#7 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 5:16pm
Seeing as we will all be paddling Pueos (a requirement for OCP Mafia membership), Keizo won't need the t shirt profits.
#8 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 5:21pm
"Yeah thats the same sign I’d use for aqua…."
Poo, a hug is not really a "gang" sign, but hey, Im down:-)
#9 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 5:52pm
Karel, Kai, and Danny may paddle like champions but they have nothing on the OCP mafia's hard core.
#10 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 6:27pm
Kimo wins. Kimo wins. Just when you thought you were witty and funny. Kimo drops the best post.
From now on, please run every comment and post by Kimo so he can just make in funnier. In fact some of you need to send it through Kimo about 5 or 6 times.
#11 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 6:49pm
so can i get a sticker for my new pueo?
#12 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 7:13pm
Keizo, can we make shirts and stickers?
#13 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 8:28pm
Can girls join?
#14 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 8:32pm
#15 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 9:04pm
We should be paddling a double-OC. And It would be real fun to have Poo and Aqua steering at the same time !
And girls are welcome... if they don't forget to buy us some beers.
#16 Mon, 05/19/2008 - 9:10pm
You people once again are all off course, Poop has requested a sponsorship deal from Fuzerider. This means that this OCP Mafia team (to be effective on a global scale) will need to be a part of the worldwide OC canoe cartel. If you go with the Puey as ride of choice , who`s going to transport all da boats to the various venues around the world? HUH.
Not only that but, if you go chineless you can say good bye to any chance of experiencing chine effect, that speed enhancing (extra Gear) you get when riding Fuze , Fusion ,Zephyr ,and S2. A total of (count them ) 4 canoes all capable of fullfilling your wildest needs for oceanic speed.
The Raptor is only a twinkle in my eye for now but , you gotta dream first , right?
Stick with the cartel , you`ll be glad you did.

Keizo has notified us that Kamanu has found a smoking (literally) deal on a war surplus zeppelin. In need of minor repairs, but I'm sure they can handle it. It will be the official OCP Mafia transport vehicle, party vehicle, home away from home, and paddlers gone wild center.
Chineless.
#18 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 3:46am
Yo, shortFuze,
Dude, if ya wanna be a memeber of the OCP Mafia, you have to actually kill the thread.....the above attempt was (yawn)pretty weak and redundant.You may wanna throw the chinealism at a different thread.........
Hiro, if poo and I go OC2, whose in the rear......oh yeah, duh, silly me.
#19 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 6:48am
There's only one problem with me and aqua steering the double hull. I'm gonna have a hell of a time steering when my paddle's shoved halfway up aquas rear the whole race.
#20 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 7:32am
poops,
aqua really got to you.... you're not letting that one go, eh?
#21 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 7:41am
Ok I have a plan. For OC-6 races we use mirages. That way Fuzerider can have a boat waiting for us all over the world. For OC-1 races we use Pueos. That way everyone is happy.
#22 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 7:42am
Do Mirages even exist in Tahiti???
#23 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:00am
fuzerider says they provide boats all over the world for their international paddlers. So there should be mirages in tahiti.
Popieeee
#24 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:06am
Poo, youre sounding kinda whiney......
Hey, check it out: Whiney the Poo
Bwahahahaa.........
#25 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:17am
So Poops is the Grand Poopma
Kimo is the GoThroughGuy
Fuze is the Transcanoe Guy
Aqua is the Bombdropper
What does that make everyone else. I wanted to get in on this first and I find myself up shit creek, without a paddle.
#26 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:17am
Tyson,
That one is easy. You are most definitely:
The Boatbreaker
#27 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:19am
Poops,
I think Tpoppler01 needs to change his userid to tPOOPler01. That would be a good NBA name. Now introducing guard, standing at 5 foot 11, Tyson PooooooooP.....ler.
#28 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:22am
This teams ` going to need more than a zepelin for transport , I suppose a Lockheed C5 Gallaxy would do the transport trick.
With this plane the whole team can fly, party , and transport all boats including lots of six mans all at the same time .
I have pilots license too so , we all set.....
http://maineoutriggerchampionships.blogspot.com/
#29 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:32am
I don't want to get any name infringements with Poops, he owns that one. I could be the Boatbreaker though, I kinda like that, you build them up and Ill break them down. And don't worry, I don't just hurt my own boats Ill take out rival gangs boats with little more than a seven foot swell. I think my table muscle can be used to push around the rivals as well.
#30 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:36am
"So Poops is the Grand Poopma
Kimo is the GoThroughGuy
Fuze is the Transcanoe Guy
Aqua is the Bombdropper"
so let's get this straight...
aqua squats and drops poops,
which goes through kimo (gross)
lands on fuze, who takes it tpop who'll then breaks it?
btw, tpop, i was going to suggest the napolean dynamite avatar but i think someone already used it.
#31 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:43am
Tpoops! You also have the unique abilty to cause a white out. So your rival gang will need to be wearing sunglasses just to be able to see you, and not be blinded by the light.
#32 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:44am
yeah i dont know how to put an avatar up or I would be all over that.
#33 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:45am
Coming from the guy who lives in Phili I am kinda hurt I'm going to go tanning bed and change that one.
#34 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:48am
So it T is breaking all this stuff then someones gonna need to repair it...can I have that job?
#35 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 9:06am
Three weeks in Hawaii does wonders ...
#36 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 9:08am
Tpop, I appreciate the nomination to be the "muscle" behind this joint, but the grand-Poo-bah has spoken. Im banned for life.
nb1376......sorry, son, but youre not qualified for that position.......now run along and play, theres serious nonsense happening here.
#37 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 9:49am
Oh no you misunderstood Bombdropper is the guy that happens to @#$% poop up(haha I made a funny). Your not the muscle thats my job, I am the one with the big table muscle afterall.
#38 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 10:23am
TPoop ment to say "I'm the pastie WHITE guy with the big table muscle afterall" Aquaman, who is NB1376 anyway?
#39 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 10:38am
Oh, my bad..........well, then, maaaaaybe I can be in......like the jester in the court. Oh please King Poo, pretty please? I promise to never again insult you or your stupid poo pics ever never again for the rest of always. Puhleeeeeeeez...........
#40 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 10:41am
Aqua,
Is anyone on here qualified for anything other than sarcastic battles of online wit?
Jealous that you weren't accepted at first into the mafia?
#41 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 10:47am
Sarcastic wit is like fine wine, it gets better with age.
#42 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 10:54am
I was crushed. But alas, Ill always be a member in my heart.
Long Live the OCP Mafia......... Long Live Poo........

#44 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 11:12am
No way to paddle a 180kg Mirage in Tahiti... Our V6 are weighted to reach 150kg but they can be much lighter. Why should we paddle a heavy canoe ? Maybe Fuze can talk us about the "weight-effect"...
#45 Tue, 05/20/2008 - 10:12pm
From what I understand and I could have this wrong But, the reason the Hawaiian 6 man hull specifications are the way they are today is because of a Molokai Hoe that happened several years ago when the Tahitians brought thier much faster 6man boats to Hawaii and totally annihalated(sp) the field . The fallout from the huge Tahitian victory that year was to make new rules regarding hull shape and weight for boats in Hawaii in future races.
Can anyone here fill in the details???
http://maineoutriggerchampionships.blogspot.com/
#46 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 2:05am
Historically, it's been 400lbs because Koa canoes needed the strength that comes with a 400 lb of Koa wood verses 200 lb of Koa wood.
Then came composite canoes. And then the tahitians came to Molokai Hoe (i think in the 80's) with a non spec (light) boat and did win. After the race the Molokai Hoe organizers implimented a weight specification for Molokai Hoe in the rules and regulations.
... at least that is what I recall from reading one of Steve West's books on outrigger canoeing ...
#47 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 4:16am
1976 Te Oropa'a, I think.
#48 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 4:15am
Yeah ,
But the new rules included alot more than just weight requirements, right? Wasn`t there something about the Tahitian boat that made the hull alot faster especially in flat water . If I remember right , they were called lagoon racers..
http://maineoutriggerchampionships.blogspot.com/
#49 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 4:24am
Steve West, "The Paddlers Guide to Outrigger Canoeing", page 58-59:
"Kaunakai, Moloka'i, October 1976 - the ocean is calm. A sleek, half breed canoe explodes from the starting line and handily wins the Moloka'i - O'ahu Canoe Race. The impact of this victory continues to be felt. Made and paddled by Tahitians, the canoe was experimental, a marriage of Tahitian and Hawaiian design elements. It appeared to be faster than any existing 'traditional' Hawiian racing canoe, at least under relatively flat-water conditions on that day. The following year, in response to this victory, specifications definining a 'Hawaiian canoe' were established to ensure that in future races, no canoe would have an unfair advantage". "In short, the specifications created were determined by appliying the 'law of averages', measuring the lengths, beams, draught, water line lengths and rocker line of existing competition koa racing wa'a, most built after 1930. Thus they arrived at a set of specifications, the 'limits' of which, continue to this day to define what 'is' or 'is not' an Hawaiian racing wa'a, be it koa or synthetic".
.... as long as Steve West's word is good then that's the history behind why wa'a racing canoes are 400 lbs. Ross
#50 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 4:38am
That`s it , the new rules effectively keep Hawaiian 6 man technology in the dark ages . But at the same time prevent the need for all clubs to rush out and buy new canoes to stay competitive. Good for saving money , but bad for advancement of canoe design.....
http://maineoutriggerchampionships.blogspot.com/
#51 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 4:48am
they should have done the same with the solo canoes and we might have less cracked seam's.and moor average joe's would be able to have a canoe to race with.
#52 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 5:52am
I can`t buy into that mulus, people who want cheaper boats can get the used ones . Check out the use canoes here and on y2kanu , all pretty good boats .
Shipping of used boats is the deal killer. Many mainland paddlers want used boats but most of them are located in Hawaii or California . By the time you spend the money to get them shipped (especially to east coast) they cost almost same as new canoe.

"The following year, in response to this victory, specifications definining a ‘Hawaiian canoe’ were established to ensure that in future races, no canoe would have an unfair advantageâ€
Wait, so it is the canoe and not the paddler???
Hey people, enough of this nonsense.......this is poo's thread and obviously we've lost him. Sorry poo. Ill do my best to get it back on track.
#54 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 6:30am
I already tried that one. I entered the Solo, put a number on my canoe, then pushed it through the swells and to the starting line, without me on it; instead I taped a marshmellow to the seat. They started the race and the marshmellow canoe did still did not beat karel. So no, it's not the canoe.
;-) of course this whole thread was fabricated to get us on track again.
#55 Wed, 05/21/2008 - 6:36am
As OC paddlers we are caught in between the conflicting ideas of heritage and modern technology. Every time you put that OC6 in the water, who would argue with a canoe that was a 100 lbs. lighter. Everytime you paddled that OC6, who wouldn't want a canoe that ran 1/2 MPH faster.
Thats all doable today with current technology and without costing more then current canoes.
The heritage and culture is important, but how many of us paddle a koa or even a Malia on a regular basis. Its time to relax the rules.
