Results of the 8th Annual JJ's Masters Wa'a Kaukahi Relay Race.

The first paddler started at Keauhou Bay and tagged their partners 6 miles later at Kamakahonu Beach. The second team member started at the beach at Kamakahonu, paddled out and around the Coast Guard Buoy and finished inside Honokohau Harbor, to complete 5.5 miles for the second leg of the relay.

Started in 1997 by Polynesian Paddling Products founder, JJ Logan, this race is exclusively for "Masters Age" paddlers, and also attracts competitors from Oahu and California.

Ra'i won the first two legs. Shell Va'a hammered to a first place finish in the last leg, but Rai's point total gave them the win. Pirae Va’a Mobil finished third. Hawaiian Canoe Club, the one team from Hawaii, finished 41st. Seventy two canoes finished.

A small but competitive field of paddlers left Maliko this morning, headed around Kahakuloa, and finished in warm West Maui. Not your average little jaunt in the park.
