Held for the 13th year at Keauhou Bay, this long distance race was the vision of Auntie Mary Jane Kahanamoku to fill the puka in the regatta season caused by High School graduations. Three years ago, the format for the event was changed to all mixed (coed) crews consisting of 3 women and 3 men in each canoe.
Paddler's page of user profiles is up. Not entirely as nice as it could be, but even unfinished it's still somewhat fun to browse. Still needs a better method to sort than the way it currently lists everyone.
Upcoming events have finally been added to the main page. I encourage anyone to submit events not listed in there so we can all know what's going on -- no need to email me, just click 'add event' and it goes up instantly.
I'm going to try and keep track of what's going on behind the scenes with the website a bit more with a log page (ocpaddler.com/log) for anyone interested.
A paddling video is in the works, eta end of summer or fall.
Still on the todo list: Bring back weather feature and link directory. Introduce canoe info directory and outrigger web guide/paddling wiki. More photos on the main page. Anything else? Hit me up with an email or comments to this.
