Aloha - I'm a want-to-be OC1 recreational paddler and am looking for instructions on paddling here as well as someone to help me find the perfect :) canoe... Any suggestions is appreciated!

Just a quick shout out to those who supported the 10th annual Turkey Day Paddle/Food Drive that was held last week on Thanksgiving day in Maui. There were about 120 participants and according to the Maui Food Bank, we raised about 1200 lbs of food and $1022 cash. Way to represent the paddling community everyone and mahalo nui to you all !!!

A special mahalo to the following:

Four Seasons
Tri Paddle Maui
Shane Victorino Foundation
Office Max
Maui Lani Golf Course
Kihei Canoe Club
Peter Martin

Happy Holidays !!!!

Aloha,

Myself and my husband are both paddlers who paddle with a club here in Nor Cal and are heading over to Maui for vacation. We'd like to continue to paddle while we're on the island and were wondering what our options might be. Are there any local clubs who would let us paddle with them? Any places you'd recommend that rent out OC1 or OC2?

Mahalo Nui,
Toni

Aloha, bought a slightly used Hurricane 3 years back, it was in amazing condition. However my left leg goes to sleep when I paddle it. Coach tells me its a balance issue. Other guys tell me to get an after market seat.

My second question is that when I catch bumps or try to surf it, As soon as Im on the wave the nose buries under the water and the boat drags. Paddlers have told me that the it could be the boat, or maybe Im too big for a Hurricane. Im 6'2 and 195 lbs.
