23rd Annual Lanikai Cold Pack Classic Sat. Dec. 12

Event Description

THE 23rd ANNUAL
LANIKAI COLDPACK CLASSIC
Saturday, December 12, 2015
HISTORY: in 1993 when the Lanikai Cold Pack Classic was formed, there were only a handful of OC-1s around, with Kanaka Ikaika Racing Series dominated by Surfskis. Because of this shortage of canoes, the men and women had to race separately. It only allowed OC-1s because we were trying to build the sport and get everyone (all the ski paddlers) to try OC-1. It was also created to signify the start of training for the following year, as it used to be the first race post Molokai Hoe, held in November. Nobody was allowed to train between the Molokai Hoe and the Cold Pack Classic. But more than anything it was a good excuse to have a great party! Although now OC-1 have dwarfed the other crafts in numbers, the Cold Pack Classic is still recognized as an OC-1 event, however, we allow all other paddle crafts to participate as we encourage paddling.
Where: Lanikai Beach at Kailoena Dr. and Mokulua Dr. beach access
COURSES: Subject to change with weather
SHORT – Approximately 3.5 miles inside Lanikai reef: From Lanikai Canoe Club paddling site, around a buoy at Wailea point to a buoy inside the Mokulua islands and back the way you came. (All SUP and Prone on short)
LONG – From Lanikai Canoe Club paddling site, the course heads towards Waimanalo to Wailea Point where it rounds a buoy and heads around the Mokulua Islands and Flat Island, then finish back at LCC paddling site (appx. 5.5 miles).
KEIKI –Prior to the adult races we’ll have a keiki course(s). The Keiki course will have age groups based on participation with a cap of 12 or 13 and under depending on how experienced a 13 year old might be. 14 and older can race the adult short course.

James Moore-morial Champions Cup

Event Description

James Lance Kiri Moore (aka Bhutty) was a core member of the Goodyear Outrigger Canoe Crew and New Zealand’s Men’s White Water Rafting Team. He loved the water and there weren’t too many days when he was not involved with it in some way. In July 2008 we had to bid our brother farewell, while doing a downwind run Bhutty got the call up into Tangaroa’s team. We host this event to honour our friend, to celebrate his life & what he achieved. The race is designed to raise the bar, keep us all in top form and at the top of our game. To be able to compete, or complete, means that you will have done the hard yards and every time you are out training you can thank Bhutty for the legacy that he left.
