the google translation-thingy-ma-jigger works wonders.
so, what's up with team hawaii? i think i read on the 3rd leg that they got 50th? something must be going on...
any thoughts?

Shell Va'a Won just 50 seconds away from their own record from 2005 edtion.......they are true World champions!
an inspiration!!!
i had the chance to see Ocean Paddler show of Molokai Hoe 2008, everytime Shell was caught in camera, they were just flying, such a speed way beyond understanding, and the best thing is, from Diamond head to the beach they were going even faster.......considering they paddled allready 4 hours....
more power to them!

The official site has Team Hawaii finishing in 13 th and 18th spot so I dont know which team is which, but they both seem to have had a top 20 finish, so they should be happier with that

i assume team hawai'i is 18th since their number 647 in shown at the 18th place result. maybe the other team hawai'i is kamanu/o'iwi.

yep, i take that back. it's either 13th or 18th. thats much better.
