I've just moved to Oahu, Hawaii Kai, from Kauai and am looking for paddling partners in order to do some runs other than out and back. I've got a boat, got a truck that can carry 4 boats, and don't need a babysitter on the water. So if you'd like to take pity on a Kauai boy who doesn't know any Oahu paddlers drop me a note. Mahalo.

Hui Nalu's 3rd crew is looking for a woman to paddle in the Na Wahine O Ke Kai, coming up next weekend.
You need to have experience doing long distance races and be in shape to race!

If you are interested, come out to the Hui Nalu Halau tomorrow (Saturday morning - Sept. 19) at 7:15am. We will have a 2.5 hour practice. Hui Nalu is located right in Hawaii Kai at Maunalua Bay. We will also have practice all next week Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Here is the trailer to the new film "Beyond the Reef" the epic tale of the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Voyaging Society's paddle of the Hawaiian Archipelago. The release of the film is scheduled to debut at a major film festival early 2009.

Hello all....I really want to get into this sport, but wanted to try it out first. I've done plenty of Kayaking, but that's it. Really want to try one out this weekend and get educated. The club sites don't have any phone numbers on them. Any ideas?

Thanks, Vids

Is EDT the top dog in Tahiti now or is it still shell

We are a group of paddlers from New Zealand going to Rarotonga in November for Vaka Eiva and have just had 2 paddlers pull out.
It would be good to pick up a couple of international paddlers to fill these seats as it is always nice to meet new friends.
We need a Masters aged male (40+) to paddle the round the island water change race as part of a open mens crew and then to paddle as part of a mixed masters crew in the iron race and sprints. We also need a Masters aged female (35+) to paddle in the mixed masters crew for the iron race and sprints.

Iolani Air Tour Co. flies charters from Molokai to Oahu. The trip usually takes about 50 minutes and we can carry up to six passengers per flight. We leave from the very end of Lagoon Drive. We would be happy to take a group of paddlers over to
Molokai for the Na Wahine O ke Kai or the Molokai Hoe competitions. Feel free to contact our office at 808-329-0018 or e-mail us at fly@iolaniair.com.

Does anyone know of any clubs hiring an escort boat to take extra gear? Usually there are 2 or 3 clubs that do this. Know of paddlers with extra gear willing to pay $10-$15 per bag if your boat will handle. Looks like a possibility of 6-10 small to med. size dry bags. Please email me asap so I can help with the logistics (laolalake@yahoo.com) .

I remember finding the Dad Center 2009 results immediately after the race, but now I can't find them anywhere. Anybody know where I can find this info?

Thanks!!!

Any word on the Catalina 9 wm/mn results?
