anyone know the results from today for the ILH races

The Zoke Around the Island Race is a circumnavigation of Hong Kong Island. Held the day after the Dragon Run it is an awesome Outrigger race. Fantastic, iconic scenery similar to NY Mayors Cup, but in ocean conditions. The Eastern side of the Island had some very challenging waters, Highly recommend this race, it's up there with Hamo, Takapuna and Vaka Eiva as a changeover event. Team Hawaii have raced and won this event in the past.

What do you think about this years PAA races?

I posted a thread about the cost of doing the Molokai Hoe.
I received this message from Ralf from Germany. Since I am in California, I think Hawaii paddlers or clubs could help Ralf more.
I asked for Ralf's email, so I can post it.
or private message me and I will forward. Also you can just post message here, since other international clubs might want the information. I will send the info I have.

On behalf of the entire Kalani Paddling Team, I would like to thank everyone for their support for last weeks canoe wash during the PA'A Toys For Tots Race. It allowed the kids to see another aspect of canoe racing and learn responsibility in taking care of paddling equipment.

Special thanks go to...

Manny for allowing us to run the fundraiser
Pat Dolan for the paddles
Ken Bailey for the donation

We also found a screw pin for an Outrigger Connection canoe. If you are missing one call me so we can get it returned to you.

Thanks,
Joe

Hey, There is a xmas boat parade in my neighborhood and my 8 year old announced he wanted to join in the two man this year. Sounds great, but does anyone have any ideas on how to put lights on the boat safely and for not too much money?
