I think paddling connection is a Tahitian team. I also think I heard Team Hawaii was in 11th place. My french is a little rusty so I may be wrong.
#33 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 8:56am
Sounds like Shell has an 80 meter lead over a group fighting for second.
#35 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 9:17am
mariano,
here was the link that hiro posted : <a href=http://radio.rfo.fr/index-fr.php?page=accueil&radio=5#contenu>radio
#37 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 9:57am
Back for a moment.
Shell OPT and EDT are on a northern route, going toward Tahaa.
On a more direct course Matairea is leading (Manutea Owen's team) with Paddling Connection behind. Paddling Connection is Wilfred AhMin's team. They choose a shorter path but will have to fight the outgoing current of the pass during the last kilometers.
Fare Ara is going south.
#38 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 10:02am
Kamanu Oiwi (HI) was around 10.
Team Hawaii is behind, don't really know what happened to them.
#41 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 10:05am
1/2 EDT leading / SHell a few meters behind
3 Matairea Hoe very close !
#48 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 10:40am
Last 100s meters. Shell is hammering and taking the lead again. EDT 5 meters behind.

#61 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 11:16am

Thanks timmy.. heres the crew:
"Good luck to Team Kamanu ‘Oiwi — Luke Evslin, Kelly Foster, Donovan Leandro, Mael Carey, Kekoa Cramer, Reuben Dearlove (Roratonga), Travis Grant (AUS), Greg Long (AUS), and Conan Herbert (NZ)."
I had a feeling Mael and Kekoa would be on that crew...both skilled paddlers, kekoa is unreal steersmen.
If you listening to radio and it sounds like team hawaii took 10th, i think they mean team from hawaii (Kamanu) as Hiro said above "dont know what happened to team hawaii"
#68 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 11:46am
I don't know if that's right. There is a team called Hava'i from "Raiatea" and they came in 10th, but I do not think that it was Kamanu Oiwi. The number on the canoe that came in 10th was 171 and I believe the number on the Hawaiian canoe (Kamanu) was 668. See here for a list of the crews.
#69 Wed, 10/29/2008 - 11:57am
anybody knows if Hawaii presenting teams?
website of the event?
coverage?
mahalos
