California paddlers three out of the top 7 in a Hawaii race. Impressive.

Those guys should all just unite under the banner of a traditional club somewhere and win the channel already : ) !

i was being somewhat sarcastic towards jimothy... if it were that simple i think primo or anyone else would have won by now. i do not mean to say primo isn't working because they are obviously the fastest crew north of Tahiti.

I thought Pat won Koa Nui in 2010. Why does starvertiser say Danny did?
#17 Tue, 03/08/2011 - 11:12pm
You are correct. Pat Dolan did win Koa Nui in 2010. Reporters don't always get it right. Wasn't Lauren on the XS- she is listed in results as riding a Pegasus?

Mahalo PAA for putting on these races! Mahalo Manny, Pua and all of the pre-race helpers to get these things going!
