Aloha,

I emailed Molokai Hoe organizers today, but I am wondering if anyone has heard about potential changes or requirements in regards to safety for the 2011 Molokai Hoe.

I am asking, because if they require more money-like prop guard or other-as a club we want to plan and prepare for those costs.

Mahalo

Aloha,

As the money gets tighter and tighter these days and the state and federal governments seem to get more aggressive, I am hoping there is a tax accountant out there or other paddlers maybe have considered the following.

Can you deduct outrigger club dues?
If you are a coach can your deduct mileage to go to outrigger practice?
Can you deduct race fees, since they do go to a non-profit?

Just asking, maybe someone knows. Not as exciting as racing, but maybe someone else can be helped with the answers.

Trav Grant, Greg Long and others talk about their National Title Race

I started paddling here in California when I was 14. When I was 16 I got to travel to Big Island to do the Queen Liliuokalani race. Since then I have been hooked on paddling, traveling to Hawaii and other countries to do tons of racing. A few years back I started coaching the Jr's program at my canoe club and we immediately sent some Jr's out to do the Queen Liliuokalani race to show them what paddling is like at a top notch level.
