Aloha Everyone,

I know Bren sent out a reminder for Pre-Registration Entries and got Pre-Reg’s from:

Kai Ikaika
Hui Heihei Wa’a
Hui Wa’a O Puget Sound
Part of Kikaha O Ke Kai
Autumn Rose – not attending
and some V-1 and OC-1 entries

If you haven’t send your Pre-Reg yet, please send by tomorrow so we draw lanes and send event line ups Thursday for preview and final Friday night.

1. World Sprint Crews and Paddlers will need to indicate on Registration form WS = world sprints, so results will show your times with WS.

2. All world sprint coaches, please make sure your not doubling up on crews because we need exact crew entries to combine races efficiently.

3. If you folks have V-1 or OC-1 entries, please submit their names and age division entering. Non – WS paddlers can enter too!

4. Also another reminder that Cafe’ Ohana Grilling and Catering will have their massive BBQ Pit trailer on site and selling ono plate lunches. (check the pic I’ve attached) So need to pack a lunch.

5. Another note, Kikaha will be having a raffle giveaway’s, including 2 Kialoa Paddles that was donated by Dave and Meg Chun. Mahalo you two!

6. We recommend everyone to carpool if can because there will be a $3 park fee per car.

See you all this weekend,

Two years ago I purchased an all carbon paddle made by Warner and loved it so much I decided to become a rep for them. Currently I have a few paddles on hand that have been slightly used as demo’s that i would like to sell at an attractive discount.
Here’s what I currently have:
1 – 51” – $200
1 – 50” – $200
2 – 49” – $200
If you would like to know more about these paddles or why you would choose an all carbon over a hybrid or wood, please go to my website http://www.outriggerwarrior.com/paddles.html for a quick read. These paddles are one of the lightest on the market and run for $260 new.
First thing I usually hear is …light paddles aren’t good because rough water and wind can rip them out of your hands! Well I have paddled in several Gorge races both on my OC1 and OC6 with mine and never once came close to losing it like everyone was telling me I would. It is different…it will feel more like an extension of your body vs a tool you are swinging around. A lighter paddle will decrease your fatigue in the long run so that you are able to apply more power. Here’s your chance to give one a try….I would be glad to loan one out for a practice if you are interested, just either email me or call.
See you all on the water!
