I know it's only mid-August, but I wanted to give a heads up about an event our club, Kamaha'o, is organizing for October (the weekend after Molokai Hoe). As it gets closer to the date, I'll post more info in the "Events" section.
WHEN:
October 19, 2008
WHERE:
The Waterfront at Pu’uloa, Ewa Beach, HI
(formerly known as Iroquois Point Island Club)
WHAT:
Join us for our inaugural event! Close out the distance season with an exciting, all-day affair beginning with a three-leg relay race followed by a delicious meal and an awards ceremony. Each paddler who participates will receive a meal ticket and t-shirt. We’ll end the day with a FREE concert starting with an opening act at 3:30 p.m., and then enjoy the beautiful Diamond Head view while listening to the sounds of JOHN CRUZ at 4:30 p.m.
COURSE:
Leg 1: Waterfront at Pu’uloa to Sand Island – 7 mi. – Wahine crews
Leg 2: Sand Island to Magic Island -- 5.5 mi. – Mixed crews
Leg 3: Magic Island to Waterfront at Pu’uloa – 11 mi. – Kane crews
A keiki race is optional depending on interest. This would include 1 mi. and 3 mi. courses at WP beach.
Contact me with any questions, comments, feedback... whatever. More info soon!

It's already just a few days before our relay race and I neglected to update with more info. Oops.
A few points:
Attached are the registration form and the Navy waiver.
We love the water and location here! This is a great opportunity for paddlers to race in this beautiful area.

I'm not sure if this was asked already. Is this relay restricted to only OC-6 or is it open to OC-1s and surfski relay as well? And what would the cost be if so?

It's OC-6 only. As this is our first race, we wanted to keep it relatively simple. That's definitely something to consider for next year, though!

Kamaha'o Canoe Club has decided to postpone our event until pre-season, date to be determined. Please contact me with any questions or concerns; otherwise, we hope to see you in the spring.
The free concert featuring John Cruz will still go on Sunday at 3:30.
