I don't know how to post youtube movies so here's what to search. outrigger canoe: 9 hawaiian channels in 6 days. We read about um now watch um do it.

Aftermarket Amas

Hey, does anyone know if there are manufacturers that make after market amas? or maybe someone who makes other amas to fit other boats?

Lactic acid training

Kamamakakua, In reading the attached article DopingInSports.pdf 95.63 KB
, it mentions the bad that comes from lactic acid production in the muscles. I have read a little about the “benefits” of lactic acid training, but don’t really get it. does anybody have any insight to this type of training?

Ama?

Since there has been a lot of talk about the " lightning " vs the " mirage " being the canoe for the channel, how about the " ama? " Which ama seems to be the best for the channel? I know that some of the Mirage riders have opted to use a different type of ama ( mana ) instead of the " puffy. " Or attach a puffy to the lightning and putting the " io " ama to the side. Has the io ama been attached to another type of canoe other than a Bradley? Are we smarter than the canoe builders who have assemble this or is it a matter of trail and error? What do the canoe builders think of this?

rooms available in O'ahu's best house for paddling*

Three rooms are available in a 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom, house on Pinky's Canal in Kailua.

Perfect location for paddlers to train.
Five minute paddle down to the opening of the canal.
Thirty minute paddle to Kailua Beach Park.
Ideal for training in the early morning or late at night because the canal is well lit.
Also ideal for training in the surf.

Plenty of storage for canoes or surfboards.
The house is in a quiet neighborhood with a pool and around the corner from beach access.

Please PM me for more information.
Thank you.

*I know that there may be better houses for paddling on O'ahu... but this house is pretty ideal.

SUP race

How did SUP get all kinds of money for a race, and we can barely get enough to keep the Na wahine and Moloka?i Hoe races going even when paddling is our state sport???

New Broadreach

I just ordered my 2nd Broadreach paddle. This one with the "Hawaiian" blade . This will be a more every day use paddle for someone my size instead of a monster workout paddle like the Tahitian blade aka "snow shovel". Of course the big Tahitian blade is what the Livestrong guys and others use everyday! I tried one out and it is just a lightweight yet very solid feeling paddle. Im not the most experienced paddler so its tough for me to say technically what feels good. It just does, not to mention they are really cool looking! And thats what wins races right?? Once I get it Ill post some photos for anyone interested.

Great paddles Scott!

Time for another nutrition question

OK, Ive learned an insane amount of information on ocpaddler about hydrating, what to eat before, after, blah blah blah. Im curious now, for those of you who train a little more seriously than others and try to take in more calories, fat, carbs, etc, what types of foods/meals work for you? Its hard to take in enough calories eating lighter, healthier foods and too much heavy, high calorie food makes me feel sluggish. If your into nutrition youll know what im asking. Just looking for thoughts, suggestions, ideas.

Thanks
