Kauai World Challenge (KWC) Solo Relay Prep

First 4 paddlers to register for the KWC prep clinic at Kauaioutrigger.com can borrow an OC 1 from us for the race for Free.

Sunday, May 5 – Thursday, May 9 2019

Hi fellow paddlers, I moved to Wyoming from Hawaii 3 years ago....and I REALLY miss my OC-1.
I know lake paddling is definitely possible....but can anyone tell me the best way to go about actually getting one here.

The logistics are really the only thing stopping me - if anyone can share their story of getting it shipped to them - how they packed it, who they used, that would be great!

Did you leave your iako behind in a post-paddle brain fart? Post here or message me to identify where and what type of iako you abandoned so I can get them back to you!

UPDATE: Owner found, iako returned, crisis averted. I don't know how to delete this post...

Back to OC1. Live on east coast USA. Lookin for cool weather top that’s not super tight like wetsuit, etc, Something for spring and fall. Lookin at the Vaikobi one. Warm but unrestricted...easy to get on and off.

More and more paddle companies (at least, that sell on the Internet) are offering "Tahitian" style steering blades for V6/OC6 with taller (?), skinnier, lozenge-shaped blades. For folks who use or have used them: how are they similar to and different from more traditional (well, for the last 25 years anyway) steering blades, such as the Foti and Biscuit (Kialoa), or Ahi and Aku (Kai Ko'o)?

Cheers,
Nate

Will try again. I suffered a bad snowboarding accident a few years ago. Thought my paddling days were over. I did get out on my OC1 this past summer. Found I’m really deconditioned. It’s turning cold here. I’m trying to get my conditioning better. Do the paddle erg, stationary bike, elliptical, etc. Have one paddling video.....te aito from 2012. Videos/DVD’s keep me sane and are inspirational. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I don’t know how to look for them. Mahalo.

Who is coming from Tahiti for channel?

Kauai Fall Clinic

Monday, Oct 29 – Friday, Nov 02 2018

This will be a great clinic to take to if you want to get a head start on the competition for the following year, or just want to improve your skills and paddle in warm blue water. We will help you with your stroke, wave catching, and do some training exercise as well as get you out doing some fun runs working with you so that you are catching waves as effectively as possible.

Aloha,

I am trying to figure out the names of the paddlers and nationalities of the top teams that raced in the Duke's Race. It looks to be an exciting lead up to Molokai Hoe

Outrigger-?

Hui Nalu-Oceania

Lanikai-I know local.

Also, is Red Bull going to be same crew from last year?

I know Shell Vaa will be hungry this year.

Mahalo.

Right on!
