Aloha,

What is everyone thinking this year?

Anyone know which international teams are coming for the big races?

I know the men and women had record number of team last year. Men 122 Women 86-I think.

Any thoughts on attendance.

Is Luke racing?

This was a whole lotta fun. The infamous San Francisco Bay Whirlpool can be see in this video around the Green Channel marker.

has anyone noticed the 'party boat' off the shereton? it is the old Kandoo, now renamed the Red Dolphin. if i remember the old Kandoo sparked a lot of controversy. seems now that it has been renamed and sold to another person,, no one has said a word.there was an article in mondays paper about it. folks..it is right off the shereton. a 158 foot eye sore. at least the Kandoo was farther off shore.i heard DLNR gave them a permit. im interested in your opinion

why are xylos so underrated? they are pretty good! they accually are the most expensive paddles out there i think, they retail for 315$ when other paddles are in the 200s and even a makana ali'i isnt that much when you buy it from les him self, after a 6 month wait.
xylos are expensive but, they are infact good! i love my xylo! i hate to see that they are under rated, Come on guys! give xylos a chance!

My friend lost his Makana Alii paddle on Maui on Saturday morning. It flew out of the back of a truck somewhere on the way from Kihei CC to Makena before the start of the women's race. It's a 51" double bend, and the paddle on the logo of the sticker is colored in with black. Hoping somebody found it by the side of the road...Call Joe at 808-690-2520. Thanks!

Any one know the results?

Does anyone have the race results for the Kailua Bay Iron Challenge? Thanks.

Men's Race

Hey all,

I'll be home visiting my family this weekend and would like the chance to race in the Paddle Grand Prix!

Does anybody have an OC-1 or a Rudderless V1 that I could possibly borrow or rent for this race?

I'm very comfortable in both types of kanu as I raced the entire winter 1-man series here in Southern California, and I paddle with San Diego Outrigger.

Shoot me an email if you can help me out!

Thanks!
