Todays race was run under overcast skies with light variable winds. There was a sizable wind swell, but the less than favorable current making for challenging conditions. The race was run in memory of Boogie Kalama who recently passed. Mahalo to Afa and Bev Tuaolo and the Kama`ili Nursery crew for a great day.

From the HIPA website:
The 2011 Valentines Relay race was held on Saturday Feb 12th, 2011. This annual event is a fundraiser for the Hawaii Island Paddlesports Assn's youth programs and is also a chance for regular members to compete with their normally non-racing significant others, or go on a Paddle date.
The race was run off of the North Kona coast between Honokohau Harbor and the Kailua Kona Pier.
