2nd Annual Hurricane Invitational Race

Results of today's 2nd Annual Hurricane Invitational Race. The 11 mile course ran south from Keokea in North Kohala to the old Coast Guard Station, south of Upolu Airport. Moderate swells and gusty winds made for fast times, and all 56 racers finished within 30 minutes of one another, first to last across the line. Six Jetskis kept track of everyone on the open ocean, and all paddlers, including 5 juniors and 8 women, did a great job in safely finishing the sometimes difficult course.

Kohala Coast Challenge

To start the day, 19 paddleboarders and 10 Juniors competed on a 3 mile course. Then the 81 canoes on the 5 mile short course competed, followed by 26 entrants on the long course.
