Message: I invented a boat loader for my truck so I could take my boat when I camp. I wanted to keep the boat upright so I could keep the battery and tackle inside and not to mention the seats. I built a website to show the design www.tdipowerrack.com. Although the site is almost finished the rack is not for sale at this time. Before I go for broke I would like to hear what anyone thinks of the rack design. Would anyone buy it if I mass produced it. The rack weighs about 300lb. My son Grant and I built the one on the site. thanks Brien

Had an Awesome day with alot of sun. Some small runners at the start but turned more side towards the end. I still got some good rides. Was great to see everyone enjoying themselves on the last paddling course James did on earth. Im sure he was looking out for everyone keeping them safe.

Distance was 32km

Does anyone know where there are results from yesterdays Hawaii State High School races?

I was wondering how many people
in my area have a canoe storage problem? Live in a townhouse? No room? No secure place and scared someone would steal it when you not home? Just wondering if anyone would be interested if someone opened a secure storage area for oneman canoes and surfboards in central
Oahu?

We all know Karel Jr is an OC-1 legend, beast, surfing king, and highly competitive and still in his 20’s

I guess the couple of questions I have are:

Have the rest of the paddlers caught up to him in surfing ability?
Has the fitness level of some of the other paddlers surpassed him?
Do other paddlers have a canoe advantage? Pueo, XM etc. I know the Zephyr is still a good surfer.

So in other words do the old rules still hold true.

For Molokai:

If Flat, Karel loses
If medium surf conditions, Karel wins
If big surf conditions, Karel dominates.

I don’t know.

What better way to say “I Love My Paddler” on Valentine’s Day 2010 than with an Official OHCRA Moloka’i Hoe and/or Na Wahine O Ke Kai Moloka’i to O’ahu padding pic giftie. A vast selection of incredible shots, just right for that special Waterman or Waterwoman in your life, and all profits go right back to each sponsoring race organization too!

Sunshine Coast Paddlers have not had an all craft downwind Ocean race since the Point To Point race in the late ’90s. Put together by Kirk Jarrott and Shane Dalziel in just under 4 weeks, it drew paddlers from as far a way as NSW. When the paddling community come together like this it’s awesome, what a fun race.
