Paddle For The Hungry (by Team Primo)

If on Maui during the Thanksgiving Holiday, come support the Maui Food Bank by donating non-perishable food as entry fee to a fun morning on the water. The workout is a quick 4 mile scenic route from Kamaole I Beach Park to Ka Lae Pohaku (Kihei Canoe Club) unless the trade winds pick up which in that case it would be reversed. All floating, sea worthy vehicles are welcomed. There will be a raffle at the end. The food bank really needs the support this year so please kokua this effort. Mahalo Nui.

What to Wear When Paddling in Colder Areas

I will be moving up to WA this winter and would like to know what people wear to paddle in the PNW. I tend to get very hot while paddling so I will need clothes that breathe or vent. In Hawaii I cannot wear long sleeved paddling jerseys because I overheat. I suspect there are also some suggestions for what types of clothing will help if one were to huli.

Mahalo,

Na Wahine O Ke Kai - Video

Na Wahine O Ke Kai (the women of the ocean) is a race that is held every year since 1979 by women paddlers. The crossing is considered a right of passage for novice paddlers as they take on one of the toughest channels in the ocean while competing with elite paddlers. On this day, a group of women from Kihei Canoe Club and Wailea Canoe Club (both on Maui) join to make the crossing together. What makes them unique? They are all 1st or 2nd year paddlers, all novice including steerswomen.

Here is our experience:
