15-20 mph trade winds, a south east ground swell and a dropping tide going to slack made for pretty good conditions in Kanaka Ikaika's race #3 from Makai Pier to Kaimana Beach. The short course started in Hawaii Kai. It may have been the 3rd race of the season for many of the 163 participants, but it was the coming out party for many of the island's best paddlers making it a very competitive field.

Results of today's HIPA race, the 3rd Annual Hurricane Invitational. Paddlers entered the Alenuihaha Channel at Keokea Bay, and paddled around the northern tip of the Big Island to the finish line at the Old Coast Guard station at Honoipu Landing, 10 miles to the south. Low tide and big surf took its toll on a number of canoes as they negotiated the narrow channel out to sea at Keokea Bay, with rudder-wrecking rocks just under the surface of the water.

RACE 2 - Jericho, January 26, 2008
This race course (12.2 kilometres/7.6 miles) was east from the Jericho pier towards False Creek, turning at the red marker, over to the green marker, west to the first channel marker and back to the pier. Morning conditions were good - light easterly wind, a balmy 3 °C and most importantly - the forecasted snow held off until the afternoon.
Points are awarded based on finishing place in 5 out of 7 races. Full series details available on the Pacific Northwest Outrigger web site.
