Mahalo

Aloha everyone -

Lost my Makana Ali'i paddle this Sunday (11/06) at Kaimana. Paddle was last seen next to the water fountain/wash area.

Left Kaimana between 11 and 12, unfortunately the paddle didn't make it the truck.

Paddle is 50' straight shaft with a Hawaiian flag in the paddle graphic. It also has a white Makana Ali'i sticker on the power face, and my initials - "MKC" above the Hawaiian flag graphic and on the shaft near the t-top.

I saw a lot of paddlers coming in and washing canoes when I left, hope one of you grabbed it :)

We have kayak paddlers from Hawaii competing right now in the Pan American Games, I wonder why we don't have Olympic canoe paddlers from Hawaii competing in these games? I would think that Hawaii would be well represented with this form of high knee style of paddling with a single blade and mono hull? The last time I checked, the boats and paddles are available, just no paddlers? Maybe if the seat and ama are removed from a V1 and a pad installed, it might work? Anybody tried kneeling down in a V1?

We'll be racing the Fai V3 in the Pa'a race this weekend and then it will be available for people to demo after the race. It will also be available for demo's Sunday by appointment from Outrigger Canoe Club. Please call or email FaiVaaHawaii@gmail.com 808-283-2470 Mahalo

Also the Fai3 V1 will be available for demo's at the Pa'a Race or appointment the following day.

Did you get some video footage from your crew for Molokai Hoe? Post it here....
