Lost Paddle - Molokai Hoe

Darlene

One of our men lost their blade about 10 minutes into the start.
-- steering blade, about a 50.5", a Kialoa Foti model, Lokahi CC on the back.
Please contact me if you've found it.
thanks,
Darlene

Hi Darlene
I think we might have found your paddle not sure if this was yours but was definitely a Kialoa steering blade we have given the paddle to our support boat driver, Walter who mentioned that he knew the owner of the paddle. I have contacted my mate who is still in hawaii and asked him to contact walter the support boat driver. will get back to you when we find out more.
Regards
