I was just concerned with why these races in Oahu are being cancelled. Is this due solely to paperwork issues i.e permits and such? Or is this a new trend of the bureaucracy running things over there, and are any other islands being affected in this manner? If so, do we need to mobilize the paddling community to try to stop this from spreading across the State or is this just another example of how government, no matter what the people think or say, will continue to ignore the will of the taxpayers.
