Classic South Head footage in these Day 2 Highlights.

Great highlights from Day 1 including the epic race for the finish in the OC1 16km race.

Aloha,

Does anyone know any remedy to stop forearms from cramping while 6 man paddling. I do alot of prestretching, drink fluids, each bananas, etc. Seem to happen only when i paddle 6 man, not 1 man.

Mahalo

The magazine, hard copy, is still at the printers, but the digital edition is online. It includes a bunch of videos from the races I covered, one (tongue-in-cheek or foot-in-mouth) where a crew from Kailua beat a Tahitian crew at the Paddle Fest and another at the Expo where John OMalley shows us some nasty images of what the sun will do to your eyes:( Looks more like lychee. I also tried my hand at narrating a couple of videos. You may find my accent amusing, a lot of locals do, in fact you may not understand a word I say and that's why I'm sticking to giving you lots of photos to look at.

Howzit!
