OK – Where did everyone come from???? With a record number of racers (almost 150 boats and over 170 participants) this was by far our largest race ever.

Results of the 2007 HIPA race series event #2, the Uncle Louis Kelekolio Race held annually at Honaunau, Hawaii, and sponsored by Keoua Canoe Club.

The 20th Annual Stan Cann Classic was held in Hilo, the day started out with Hilo's best Wet winter weather and a high surf warning, but turned out to be beautiful day for paddling. Mahalo the Dee and Stan Cann for being gracious sponsors and hosts for this much anticipated annual classic and season opener for Hawaii Island Paddlesports Association.

I was browsing through this years website statistics and found some fun facts. Here's a list of places your fellow paddlers are from.

Happy New Year
