Sunday 16 September
Turtle Bay to host the Stand Up World Series Finals
In all sports there are the proving grounds, the place where it all began and the place where it will always return to. For the world of ocean sports, Hawaii has long been regarded as ‘that place’: the birthplace of surfing and stand up paddling and the roots of surf culture as we know it.

Mirrored off the classic Down River Sprint, the Maui Jim SUP Surf Sprint presented by C4 Waterman is a race against the clock in the heart of Vail on Gore Creek. Anyone up for the challenge will run this 3-mile stretch of Gore Creek from East Vail to Vail Village SUP style. Competitors must stand strong because snow melt from the nearby Gore Range makes for icy waters while navigating the class II/III course. Mix in a handful of low bridges, drops and wave trains as paddlers battle it out in the SUP’ing of Gore Creek. Continue reading ‘Stand Up Paddle Surf Sprint race at the Teva Mountain Games’

Steve at Surftech had this really great photo of Bobby Ah Choy doing his version of stand up paddling (and sit down) in Waikiki. I love the wooden chair! I’m not sure what year this was but you can tell from the skyline and lack of buildings that it was a while ago.

Back in October 2010, Luke Evslin got into a really bad accident during the Molokai to Oahu 6 man canoe race. It happened at the beginning of the race and the escort boat’s propeller ran him over during the paddler change. I visited him recently at the Kamanu Composites factory and I’m glad to report the he’s recovering very well.

I was watching the live webcast of the Molokai Hoe race (OC Paddler TV did an awesome job with this) a couple weeks ago and heard the info on how Luke Evslin, one of the founders of Kamanu Composites got into an accident during the race in which the boat’s propeller ran into him. At the time, the announcers didn’t know his condition but since then we now know that he could have died. From the look of the wounds and the stories around the situation, it’s amazing he lived but I think the future has great things in store for Luke. How else can you explain it?

My son’s cub scout troupe wanted to do a beach day so I reserved a spot at the Waikiki Na Kama Kai Clinic. They enjoyed sanding wooden surfboards, learning history and culture, tandem surfing and canoe paddling. This is the best way to get your kids comfortable in the ocean. Duane and his crew do an awesome job. Even though the clinic was only a couple hours, we stayed at the beach until night time. Continue reading ‘Na Kama Kai with Cub Scouts’

In early February 2010, I planned to go on a downwinder with some friends. This was the Sunday after the Punahou carnival so I wanted to work off some of the calories I took in from the carnival. Yes, I ate way too many malasadas. We met at 8 am and got skunked by the wind so it became a no winder distance paddle. Flat water paddling feels like slow motion and it was pretty hot and sunny. As you can see in the pics, the water was really nice and had a glistening effect from the sun.
