Anyone know of a place to rent an OC-1 in Kauai?

Is anybody else having trouble getting on the PA'A website? Trying to get on to check details of the Pinky's race.

Please tell me someone hacked the Olamau facebook page and this post is not true:

"Aloha Olamau Race fans and Participants,

Hello,

My name is Brian. My friend and I are working on a project related to GoPro camera mounting accessories. We are trying to get a consensus on what is the best method for small business owners to reach out to the greater public audience.

I have a few questions to ask all of you, and your input would be greatly appreciated.

1. Have you purchased a product on Kickstarter?
2. For those who have not purchased anything from Kickstarter, would you be inclined to purchase a product on Kickstarter?

Check out the video of our Sailing Canoe fun in West Oz, the footage was shot over two weekends with two crews, both days were awesome. The video starts slow but just wait.... Bigger and longer adventures are being planned. Enjoy.

Since paddles seem to be a topic of conversation and since the Tahitian crews do so well in all their races was just wondering what paddles they choose.....Shell, OPT, EDT. I realize that paddles are not a deciding factor but top crews will want to use what they feel best with, What do the Tahitian crews go with?

Does tapering before a long race exist in paddling? The experiance with my club is we bust balls the Thursday night before the Saturday 10 mile race with only Friday as a rest day. I've had experiance training for marathons where you taper for at least two weeks before the race. I'm a 55+ age paddler and I know it takes us older guys more recovery time. Just wondering if any clubs or coaches apply tapering to their training or find it not necessary. Mahalo!
