Just wanted to direct your attention to the EVENTS section. Race #3 in the HVA summer series has been moved to Kailua Bay and will take place on Saturday July 17th. Just like the other races in the series there will be heat races and an Open Final featuring the day's fastest paddlers.

had a very scarey moment on saturday morning. 4 of us were swimming off waikiki around 0900. a number of 6 mans came by to our outside(makai). no big deal we see them and they see us all the time. then an escort boat comes flying by to the 6mans inside (mauka) . we are sure he never saw us, or was even looking at anything other than the canoes. please everyone, be aware that there are others using this big ocean.

Well, its killer hot and hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, but the downwind runs are surprisingly fun. Longest one that we've found is over 20 miles. It sure isn't wintertime Maliko but it sure beats paddling upwind or on the flats.

.

Shame on MOKU officials for their lame officiating this past weekend in Hilo. At the completion of the Open Mix race
( keep in mind this was the last race of the day ) they, the officials upstairs in the official booth, decided to DQ Kai Opua open mix for " getting back on the race course " and not " going around the " small bouy while proceeding back to the club tent.

Just curious, sorry if this has been asked/answered, but why do surfskis have an option for footstraps while one man outrigger canoes do not? Does anyone ever just fall off of the boat, where footstraps would have helped?

Anyone heard the results of the Tahiti Toa Vaa 33 mile downwind race from Papeete to Tautira?

Does anyone know where to find the race results from the King Kamehameha day race in Kailua?

Anybody wanna do a HK run tomorrow morning Tuesday 6/15?
