Maui Canoe & Kayak Hurricane Ocean Racing Series – Race 3

The highlight of this hot, long, flat water race? That’s easy! Besides the finish line that would be the Monk Seal that greeting everyone as we paddled by the pali. The seal was huge, fat, with such cute eyelashes batting at us. We feel so honored to see one and to also go so close to one. It was hard to keep paddling.
