This is my first OC-1 video on the Pegasus. I started to paddle this canoe two weeks ago, definitively my surfski days are over. The OC-1 is more fun and fly the ama is the ultimate experience.

you know its sad when the only sport native to the Hawaiian people and culture isnt even featured on the evening news. is there any one who has connections to the news media? we as paddlers should really do something about this for our sport. Imagine the realms our sport can reach if we can get the local media support! lets do something!!!

Seems like there's been no wind here since Maui-Molokai. I know that I didn't paddle all of May. But the trades have finally filled back in the last couple of days. Maliko has been fun. North swells are gone, just the east wind swell, totally fun for relaxed downwind runs. Everyone and their brother is out there on SUPs, they outnumber the canoes.
Get it while its here.

Aloha gang,

I wanted to let you know that NBC Sports "World of Adventure Sports" Will be airing the segment filmed by Ocean Paddler TV of the Olukai Ho'olaule'a. The show starts at 5:00pm eastern standard time on NBC. We hope everyone enjoys it. This was an amazing event that started with the one man race, the next day was the SUP race.

Of course, Tune in to the new episode of Ocean Paddler TV which highlights the races. You can also catch this episode by going to http:///www.oc16.tv.
Check your local listings for days and times.

Many mahalos to all who have supported us these past 14 months. We look forward to many many more.
Terry

Aloha,

my club is looking at racing the Na Pali Challenge this August. any recommnedations for the best part of Kauai to stay from a logistics point of view? any info would be of assistance

Pretty much everyone on this site knows what "The Channel" refers to, the Kaiwi between Molokai and Oahu. One of the toughest stretches of water that a paddler can test themselves against.
Memorial Day weekend Debmaui and I took a trip over to a stretch of water even wilder than the Kaiwi, "The Channel" in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Considering that its the craziest stretch of water that we've seen, we've renamed it the "Lolo Channel".
And yes, we did paddle it.
Photo is Deb gazing in wonderment.

I'm a paddler from the states and more recently Australia. In one month I'm realizing my dream of paddling in Tahiti and mixing with the culture that I so admire. I'll be in Papeete from 5 July - the 25th and know no one and have no where to stay. I'm hoping for a little direction from some of you guys out there!
I speak french well, paddle surfski and one man. I'm 31 and have raced boats since I was 9 years old.
Please give me a shout if you know someone I may contact regarding volunteering, lodging, training, or general cultural immersion!
Cheers,

I actually found this article in Fitness Paddling website:
http://race.fit2paddle.com/

The MR340 is a 340 mile endurance paddling race along the Missouri River.

The articles about Katie Pfefferkorn who enters this 340 mile endurance event. It seems like a pretty grueling endurance race. She works as a Chemical Engineer during the work week and competes in paddling, triathlons, local 5K races, and marathons.

Starting at the age of 21, Katie Pfefferkorn completed the course in a little over 98 hours.
In 2008, she finished in just 50 hours, paddling a 21-foot, carbon fiber racing canoe and sleeping only one-and-a-half hours.

Her times in the MR340 for the last three years...
2006 Woman’s solo, 98:36
2007 Woman’s solo, 58:57
2008 Woman’s solo, 50:00
2009 Scheduled for Aug 4 - 7

In 2007, Kate’s sister Jodi, a filmmaker, made the documentary Down River & Up Hill about the Missouri River 340

Awesome!
