On Saturday, June 4, close to 1000 competitors gathered in Marina Del Rey to compete in the third event of the SCORA race season. Held in moderate conditions, morning haze gave way to a beautiful sunshine and light winds. The race is named the Kahanamoku Classic in honor of the late Sandy Kahanamoku, great-nephew of Duke Kahanamoku. Sandy played an instrumental role in guiding, promoting and perpetuating outrigger canoe competition in Southern California. As founder of the host club, Marina Del Rey Outrigger Canoe Club, Sandy's influence and passion continue to define his club and this premier racing contest.
