Hello,
I have owned a Huki V1R for 6 years. I am interested in doing the Maui to Molo race but would like to do it on a V1R similar to mine. If there is anybody who would be willing to allow me to race their V1R for a generous fee, please contact me.

Thanks :-)

Richard.

What advice would you give someone starting out on their first distance season? What do you wish you had known before your first distance season? Training tips? Seasickness tips? Water changes? What to bring in the drybag? Anything else?

Thanks!

Aloha Paddling World,
Hawaiian Canoe Club presents the 3rd Annual Pailolo Challenge!!! This OC6 Race from Maui to Molokai is fast becoming one of paddlers favorite races during the distance season. With divisions for 9 man and Iron crews this fast downwind 26 mile surf course has something to offer for everyone. Its timing is perfect for crews looking to get an extra race out of shipping their canoe for the Na Wahine O Ke Kai or Molokai Hoe races. Ship your canoe to Maui then paddle to Moloka`i!!!!! Our race is scheduled for Saturday September 19th 2009. Our committee is working hard with our sponsors to make this the best Pailolo Challenge to date. For information or registration contact info@hawaiiancanoeclub.org or for sponsorship opportunities contact tim@hawaiiancanoeclub.org

A hui hou!!!!!

Pailolo Challenge Race Committee

The annual Duke Kahanamoku Long Distance Races will be on Sunday, August 16th, hosted by Lanikai Canoe Club, sponsored by CharterIP (www.charterip.com), Hilton Hawaiian Village, and other generous donors. Mahalo!

///
Same format and race divisions as before.
*Wahine Iron race in Kailua Bay, unofficial start time 7:30am.
*Mens 24-mile distance race from Kailua Beach Park to Anuenue site will start at roughly 9:30am.

///
This year every participant will receive a Patagonia Capilene race shirt (instead of cotton tee)!
There will also be the usual outstanding support (food and drink) from LCC both in Kailua and at the Hilton.
Some lucky teams will receive a voucher for a complimentary set of Perfect Pushup by BodyRev.

///
Time is now to get your escort boat arrangements made. Registration forms will be posted soon at the LCC website as well as (probably) y2kanu. LCC is still working on acquiring private sponsorship to try to drive down costs for the paddler (you), so entry fees are still being determined.

Aloha

I'm visiting the folks in Kailua. I recall someone posted a while back about day renting Pueos. Does this sound familiar? Anyone got a contact or a lead on the particular post for me? I'd like to get in a paddle while I'm visiting.

Mahalo for any help.

Hey where you guys like paddle for a couple of novice one-mans? I practice 6-man at Keehi but that, Sand Island, Ala Moana get pretty busy after work. Anything on Windward side or is that usually too rough? I live in town and am hoping to find a close but not too busy place. Thank you.
