KOA KAI PROGRAM STEADY
WAIKIKI BEACH BOYS MAKING A COMEBACK
HONOLULU (June 6, 2004) – Kane’ohe Canoe Club, not content to rest on its laurels from 2003 and out to prove its win last week was no fluke, raced an error free regatta today and scored an impressive 92 points, closing in on the elusive 100 point mark not seen in Hui Wa’a since the early 1990s. Manu O Ke Kai, this week’s host using its home field advantage, also showed its performance from last week was the ‘real deal’ as the club once again finished in second place for large clubs with 55 points, winning both Golden Master Men and Women’s races and all the open men’s races (Freshman, Sophomore, and Senior). Lokahi, still reeling from a shaky start last week, improved its performance to edge closer to Manu O Ke Kai and round out the large club division with 52 points. Race infractions resulting in disqualification once again robbed Lokahi of crucial points.
