The conditions provided for a sheer afternoon of delight for most. To date that has been the best Makena race. It was a bit strange racing in the opposite direction as landmarks look a bit different from the other approach however the rides were fast, long and steady all the way to the beach. It turned out to be a wise decision to postpone the race for a day as the Wailea paddlers reported that it took them 10 minutes just to get out through the sets the day prior and that the ocean was much gnarlier on Sat.

KAHULUI - There will be an asterisk next to the girls varsity I championship results for the 2004 Maui Interscholastic League outrigger paddling season.

That's because on Saturday at Kahului Harbor, 10 minutes after the biggest race of the season, officials disqualified the apparent winner, King Kekaulike, for a wide turn.
