Josh Crayton sent in some articles and results of the USACK Team Trials in San Diego this past weekend. The races featured many names familar to the outriger community racing Olympic regulation sprint canoes and kayaks in 500m and 1000m races.

Mahalo to all the paddlers from near and far who made this race such a large and competitive field. We realize the time and energy, not to mention the funding, it takes to attend a race on another island and so Maui Canoe & Kayak Clubs thanks all of you for making the trek to Maui. A special MAHALO to Randy Botti and Ronona Della Cioppa for organizing the Big Island gang 40+. To Manny Kulukulualani for taking on the organization of the Oahu trailer and also to Jerome & Choppie Kalama and Ron and Camie Kimball for taking care of the transportation of all our canoes to Kalua Koi for the upcoming race. You folks are awesome. Speaking of awesome, that would be the sponsorship and support from STARBUCKS. Mahalo.
