Sunshine Coast Paddlers have not had an all craft downwind Ocean race since the Point To Point race in the late '90s. Put together by Kirk Jarrott and Shane Dalziel in just under 4 weeks, it drew paddlers from as far a way as NSW. When the paddling community come together like this it's awesome, what a fun race.

Read an article by Ron Mizutani saying that the DLNR was changing the finish line from the mouth of Ala Wai harbor to offshore of Aina Moana. It's a stretch to view these races from the seawall let alone trying to see how they finish. I clearly remember the Coast guard finish being inside the harbor. Where's the love Laura ?

This video made my night!!!

I know this has nothing to do with paddling canoe, racing, or anything like that but it does feature the talented and legendary steersman Stew "Balls" Kawakami from Outrigger Canoe Club. Therefore, I thought it appropriate to share it with this community. So if you have not seen it before, please enjoy!!!

Balls: Sorry brah if you neva like people see this video, but yooz one funny guy brah!!! No can hide this stuff brah, gotta share!!!

I have confirmed with Olukai, they are planning on helping with the costs to ship your OC-1 and SUP from Oahu to Maui. I will post more information as I get it. Once again Ocean Paddler TV will be there!

Hoot Hoot!

My feathers are ruffling thinking about this weekend...I don't know if I will be able to make magic happen, I mean going up against all those men who went up wind last week :0

What is the best way to ship an OC1 interisland?
How do you prep the boat? Wrap it? Can you get insurance?

I've tried to search for contact info for Stitch This shop. I can't find anything..or any link. Are they still in business? Any contact info? Thanks.

Has anyone (of you folks) ever put an OC-1 in from the Hamakua coast past Onomea for a run back to Hilo Bay? Lapahoehoe would be a pretty long paddle, but could be done. I wonder if anyone has launched from Hakalau, Kole Kole, or Papaikou? If so, how'd it go? How was your run?
