Results of today's Kamaili Nursery Pohoiki Challenge, held in Puna District. This is the 4th event in the Steinlager/Tiger Canoes HIPA Points series. The long course began at Isaac Hale Park, Pohoiki in the Puna District, and travelled north about two miles before turning and heading south to finish at Kahena Beach with a total distance of 11.5 miles. The 7.5 mile short course also began at Isaac Hale Park, but ran straight south to its completion at Kahena Beach. The event drew paddlers from all over the Big Island, as well as from Maui, Oahu and Kauai. As in the past, the retrieval of the canoes up the face of the cliff was done by a chain of paddlers, passing the canoes, amas and surfskis hand to hand to the top of the cliff.

Noe Sawyer came out of nowhere and showed paddlers what she is made of in her first race of the Kaua’I Hoe Wa’a OC1 Series, beating her closest competition by over five minutes. David Beck maintained his four-race winning streak in the Open Men’s division with his competitors inching a bit closer race by race. Steve Cole was only a minute behind Beck this time with Eric Rafter and Hipo Princena finishing in a tie for third in the 8.5 mile long distance race. Results for both the long and short course follow.
