Third annual Race Around the Hat at Kualoa Beach Park.
Event to include two races per division with the fastest total time being the winner. There are no heats this year. The race will feature a short prologue for each division (men, women, juniors, etc) and a longer final race for the championship. As always we will try to coordinate loaner canoes for those who do not own a rudderless and the race will somehow go around The Hat.
Exact location to be determined 4 days before the Fun Run and will be based on forecasted weather conditions. The Ocean Playground Shuttle has been reserved. Shuttle will meet us @ 9 am to load up at chosen finishing point then drop us off at the start point.
HVA is pre paying to reserve the shuttle but each paddler must bring pay their own shuttle fare of $10. Paddlers are required to make arrangements for their own canoe as HVA will not be providing canoes. The shuttle is able to hold 17 canoes/paddlers and is first come first served. After that paddlers will have to set up their own rides.
The location of the run will be chosen to allow for the best possible surfing run. Length of the run will be between 6 and 10 miles. Again this will be a rudderless only fun run... let's go!!!
Due to issues with permitting at Waimea Bay we have moved the 3rd race in the HVA Summer Series to Kailua Bay. The race date has also changed. We will be holding the race on Saturday July 17th. Please see the attached map for the race course. Registration will be up shortly so be sure to check back.
The new course should be a blast with some upwind and a fun surfing segment. Hope to see you all there!
