This blog focuses on paddling locally here in Hawaii as well as elsewhere. As a long time paddler with Anuenue Canoe Club, there's lots of good fun talk story time with Nappy and others on our crew. We even get around to some issues that get a lot of comments from the paddling community and need attention to improve our sport.

Waimanalo Blues

Senior men at the start

Almost predictably on a windy, sunny day, Waimānalo featured hulis galore and DQs as paddlers encountered challenging conditions. With the inevitable delays and the late hour, the race schedule questions resurfaced as the regatta had to be called with five events remaining. At that point, with chilly conditions especially on the beach, the remaining paddlers were more than ready to call it a day. Needless to say, deciding what to do next about the missing races will be a troublesome issue for OHCRA officials to resolve. Possibilities include running the events at the next regular regatta at Kāneʻohe Bay.

Still racing as 7pm approaches
