Records smashed in the Tommy Bahama's 2012 Around The Island OC6 Changes Race - Team Hawaii's record falls - Was it the conditions, the new lightweight unlimited Pura canoes or the crews determination and training? You decide.

Time for a revisit Hawaii, snatch back the record.

Rumor on the streets in Tahiti is that EDT is Hawaii right now training with Livestrong...because Livestrong paid their way to come train.

Also that EDT (2012 Hawaiki Nui Champs), Shell and several other crews from Tahiti will be at Olamaui 2013. So it looks like everyone that was worried about Livestrong having an unfair advantage due to the course being all on Hawaii Island have a few bigger things to worry about... several top crews from Tahiti.

Aussies Tim Jacobs and Naomi Flood take out the Open Ski Steelcase 2012 Dragon Run in Hong Kong in hot humid conditions. Karel Tresnak (Hawaii) and Mandy Shannon (Aus) first finishers in the OC1 division.

Just wanted to thank Nikki, Cathy, Keala, Maui and all the paddlers who helped me today on the Hawaii Kai Run by helping me get my equipment into shore. A big mahalo'z to Todd Bradley for helping me get into shore. I am truly lucky to live in the Land of Aloha.

Super stoked, but if George consteadt knows about it. I'm sure Tahiti is definetly planning on coming. Any thoughts??

Hey all,

Hi all
A fellow paddler has a friend who has had a spinal cord injury and is looking at how best to set up seating to allow the friend to try paddling. I've using Google and although there are plenty of website for club and agencies that have supported adaptive paddling I haven't been able to find anywhere that has details such as seating design for different disabilities.

If someone out there has some information that can be shared I'm sure it would be really appreciated.

Thanks all

J.

Does anyone have the results?
