SeaMan pre-season race at Keauhou Bay - BigIsland
[Photos] by Scott Wilson
Pre-season HIPA "introductory" race which took place at Keauhou Bay.
Begun in 1998 as a pre-season warmup by the late Abbott Galaher, entry fees have always included canned goods for the Hawaii Island Food Bank.
Named the SeaMan event, with the course described as I KE HALAWAI, I MUA, I HOPE, since it runs "to the horizon, forth and back", i.e. straight out to sea. The short course paddlers went 3 miles, turning on Keauhou's double hull canoe 1-1/2 mile from shore, and the long course participants paddled 5 miles. Assorted Hawaii Island Paddlesports Association prizes were handed out by Abbott's daughter, Emily.
Next HIPA event will be the 9th Annual JJ's Masters Wa'a Kaukahi - a relay race for Masters (35+) paddlers, which is sponsored by P3, and will be held on December 3.
