Is anybody from Hawaii doing this race?

Looking for a partner to do Kauai relay, master men this year.(check out my paddling profile on this site for my background etc)

Also looking to rent a canoe for Molo Solo (May 18th), maybe something like Fusion, Fuze, Pahoa, Pegasus maybe Hurricane etc.

Can anyone give me contact details for an outrigging club in Shanghai? I am moving to Shanghai from Australia this year and am keen to keep paddling...

For my fellow CamGuru mates on this forum ... my latest wireless HQ SuckerCam.

This little baby i made to suction mount onto any flat or curved surface, like an OC6 front or rear deck or as i have just done, behind me on the "Peggie OC1".

It has 520 line Bullet Cam with 10 hour battery and Digital Recorder in the Pelican box. The picture quality is awesome. I have 2 lens for it, 127 degree wide angle and 90 standard. Weight is around 3LB.

This thing sticks like a leech, and after huliing big time yesterday in big surf, never moved. I do attach a lanyard just in case though.

Upping some raw footage tonite, so you can see the unreal perspective from behind me on the Peggie.

Well i did it and I've finally recovered after 3 weeks.
32 hours on an OC2 .... there's pain in that. .. like doing Molo Solo 5 days in a row - but setting a new record was worth it.

The video says it all and there's a full race report on the blog

Video is worth the download, it took 30 hours to make.

Aloha,

I'm looking for good outrigger canoe medals and trophies for a race I'm sponsoring in June. the local trophy shops look at me like I'm on crack when I ask if their catalogs have these sort of things.

I'll be on Maui in April - any suggestions for a place i could pick these up?

Kia ora to the Hawaiian race organisers moving the race schedule around. Does this look correct?

Apr 6: Oahu Champs
Apr 13: State Champs - on Oahu
Apr 20: Kai Wa'a - on Maui
Apr 27 Maui to Molokai
May 4 Molokai Relay - from Molokai to Oahu
May 10 Kaua'i Relay - on Kauai
May 18 Molo Solo by Epic - SS & OC1 - from Molokai to Oahu

I think if you're a visiting international paddler, like me, if you follow the Hawaiian schedule you can paddle to a lot of the islands by ocean... how sweet is that?

Mahalo nga kaiwhakahaere hoe-waka. Nga mihi koutou katoa. :)

I always thoughte it would be a great race if the women raced from Jerico to Vancouver Isl and the Guys raced back. what do you think?

I have no knowledge about the history of race organization for OC paddling on Oahu.

PA'A is organizing an OC1 World Championship.

At the same time, Mark writes that Epic is keeping things unchanged, with the support of Kanaka Ikaika.

What does that mean ?
Does Kanaka Ikaika support the OC efforts of PA'A; and the surfski effort of Epic ? Or is Kanaka Ikaika supporting the OC event on Epic's race date and going to proclaim their own OC World Champion, iow are we going to have two World Champions this year ?

One other question I have, but of course cannot ask here on the forum: how can someone sell a World Championship ? Or reverse, how can you buy something, own something like that ?
