Nappy & Konedobu Kanu Klab @ Hamo 2009 - Video

Rambo

It was a pleasure to have Hawaiian legend Nappy Napoleon steer our crew from Papua New Guinea - Konedobu Kanu Klab at the 2009 Hamilton Cup. How many people can say they took this line along the bottom of Dent Island and got away with? He truly deserves the title "Channel Master" after 52 Molokai Hoe Crossings. Thank you Nappy, Anona and grandson Rigg, we enjoyed your company. Also thank you to Brendon and the Boys of the KKK , i think we all learnt something eh.
Video is here ...

I just sent this video to the rest of my club titled "Everything you need to know about steering in 3 minutes and 50 seconds. Another great one, Rambo. Thanks

That...was...AWESOME!
Most of us only have the skills to subscribe to the "if it don't fit, force it" mantra... Nappy shows us that when you are a master, you can utilize "if it don't fit, FINESSE it." Truly amazing.

Thanks, guy's. Mr Colin Bartley (Barts) designed that logo for me. It's being used by GoPro for their T Shirts when they launch the new camera models. Obviously you noticed the GoPro HeadCam amongst all that hair.... hahaha.
Had a lovely email from Nappy and Anona, they watched the video and loved it... very kind and humble people... kind of what Aloha is about i guess.
Cheers Rambo

Ok, watched the vid. I am like what is everyone talking about. Yeah, my steerman can do that, nothing special, yeah we have all been hit by an ama. Then, OH MY GOD. Is he going to do what I think he is going to to do? THAT WAS THE BEST.
