The Wild West Shootout was a success! Over 30 paddlers showed up at beautiful Makaha for the second race of the HVA v1 series. Paddlers endured a four mile course, up and down the coast, with top times finishing just under 40 minutes. Three preliminary heats and one final heat for the 10 fastest times were run.
The youth divisions saw record turn out. Each paddler 18 & under enjoyed a free race, and like all participants received a race t-shirt, lunch, awards and raffle prizes.
A big mahalo to all the sponsors for making this event possible: Island Paddler, Ocean Paddler TV, Tahitian Outrigger, Maoli Wa’a, Rame Tahiti Paddles, Tiger Canoe, Kamanu Composites, Keahiakahoe Canoe Club.
