CANOES
As always, we are exited to have so many crews coming this year from the mainland and
other countries. So.....heads up clubs from Kauai, Oahu Molokai and Maui...as usual, we loan all the available canoes we can arrange for to crews coming from outside the Hawaiian Islands. Hopefully you’ve already got your bookings with Young Bros!

Why did we run an OC-1? Maliko race the day after states? Easy, so that all our visiting friends who came to Maui for the States and whom may never make it over during the OC-1 season would get a chance to experience our downwind run. Was it worth it? You bet ya!
All our canoes were on the water and others on island loaned their canoes as well. We had 57 participants, some well hydrated and ready to roll and others just crawling in from the party the night before. I believe all would say it was worth it.
