my sister moved out to boston 7 years ago from oahu. she paddled from when she was 9 years old throughout high school & is wanting to get back into it. she's looking to paddle for a competitive canoe club out in the area. any recommendations????

Any word on the race today?

there is one more spot that just opened up so if u need to then grab it...

Good luck to all the Big Island paddlers this weekend and safe paddling to everyone.

On a serious note. This morning a triathlete taking part in a group training session off of Solana Beach in San Diego was killed by a shark. Condolances to his relatives and all involved.
Man, are we going to be nervous practicing 9man changes. Its a big ocean out there.

What songs would you have on your ipod for that 1 hour?

Aloha,

PA'A will be organizing a trailer to transport canoes to Molokai for the Molokai Relay Race on 5/4/08. There are 8 available slots left. Loading for canoes will be on Tuesday April 30. If you would like to reserve a space on this trailer please email paainfo@yahoo.com with your contact information and you will be sent more details (Hopefully by Sunday evening, if not, Monday morning).

Mahalo,
PA'A

I just can't decide which one to buy. The Zephyr is way newer, but that Stingray just looks so damn fast! I know everyone always says, "it's the motor" so I checked it out...
...the 1970 427 small block LT-1 in the Stingray put out 370 hp, and the 2006 Zephyr borrows a Duratec V6 from the Mazda 6, (??) which puts out 221 hp. Now, I know that the Stingray's output was measured in SAE GROSS, rather than SAE NET horsepower, but 221 vs. 370? I think that the choice is obvious.

The Zephyr DOES have heated seats though, which feels nice on my butt...

If it helps any, I'll be using these to race the 1/4 mile.

...also, when I said "butt", I meant "ass".

What do you think? My uneducated thoughts say that the standard shape will pull more water and the low shoulder travel faster through the stroke. I sit #2. Coach is demanding all wood paddles (no artificial edges) for racing in the Koa canoe so I'm shopping. My hybrid paddle is a Xylo and I like the thick but light shaft. Any recommendations?

just got word my partner has backed out from doing kauai world challenge... will be looking to race after doing the molo relay week before. coming from out of town, and unfortunately, my partner had the boat already lined up. so i'm out a partner and a boat. if you are looking for a partner, shoot me an email. i know it's late, but i just got the word this morning.
