Couldn't find any pictures of Day 2.

Insteresting to see how much Team Hawaii struggled in the flat on Day 2 but on Day 1 did well in the channel and surf.

OPT has a shot. They won by nearly 2 minutes on Day 2 and that shows strength, but as I remember this has been a pattern with Shell Vaa win Day 1 struggle Day 2 and smash on Day 3.

Hey gang,

Sorry so long with the Halloween race recap. We’ve spent the last week overhauling the PA’A website and making sure we could post race pictures for everyone…there’s lots thanks to Lono of Makai Magazine and the camera crew from Painted Cave Studios. Check out www.paahawaii.com

Everyone went the extra yard with their costumes to make this first ever Halloween race a hilarious event. We had a record 38 women in attendance of which almost half were first time racers – the $5 special entry fee may have helped. Way to go ladies!

What was Walter's three-part tryout process?

Hawai'i Canoe & Kayak Team will be providing an open practice to anyone interested:
When: Saturday - November 07 - 9AM to 10:30 AM -
Where: Hui Nalu Canoe Halau

Brandon Woods, who was training at the Olympic Training Center for over several years, along with Pat and Ryan Dolan, back from the OTC as well, will be hosting and providing coaching at this open practice.
