When Mark Raaphorst first told me about the SIC Standamaran in 2010, I knew I had to try it out so I flew from Oahu to Maui and got a chance to test the first version on a South Shore Kihei downwinder. The Kihei downwind conditions were amazing. It was like the best Hawaii Kai […]
Downwind runs are exciting and fun. In the surf, you are often waiting for a set or your turn to catch the next wave. On a downwinder, there are no crowds, you have long windswells that stretch across the whole ocean to play with, you are always on the move, going from one glide to […]
This coming Wednesday will be the first weekly time trial, brought to you by Blue Planet and Wet Feet. Where: Meet at the Hawaii Kai Boat Club dock in front of The Shack in Hawaii Kai. When: 5:00 pm this Wednesday, Oct. 10th and every Wednesday until further notice
If you ask anyone who has raced in the Molokai to Oahu race what the hardest part of the race was, the answer will most likely be: the last few miles.
Here’s a great tutorial from Robert Stehlik for all you guys who will be racing at the Battle of the Paddle HI this weekend. Check out the link below on Robert’s Zen Waterman blog: http://zenwaterman.blogspot.com/2011/05/battle-of-paddle-hawaii-kai-run-tips.html
I did my first OC-1 race in December 2010 and had a blast. This was the Toys for Tots Race put on by Pa’a Hawaii. The race course was the normal Hawaii Kai run which started at Portlock by the bridge, out to the blinker buoy and then around the windsock and into Kaimana Beach. […]
Todd Bradley sent us some clips of him riding the C4 12’6″ “Switchblade” stand up paddle board. The video is a bit long but it gives different angles of how the board performs in light winds. I’ve tried this board myself in surf and really liked it. I like the glide and in small waves […]
Denise Darval-Chang, an avid paddler just started a new shuttle service for the island of Oahu, Hawaii. So far it’s just for Hawaii Kai to Kaimana downwinders. Here’s some info below and an example of her schedule. There’s supposed to be something on facebook but I couldn’t find it. Her contact info is below too. […]
Here are some pictures I took from 2010 Cline Mann Race which was held a while back. This race was during the 6 man canoe regatta season which I participated in…kinda. I got sick a few weeks into the season and was laid out for a couple weeks. I was out of the water for […]
After spending some time training and going on a few downwind runs with the S.I.C. Bullet 17’4″, I decided to shoot this video and share my thoughts on how the Bullet compares with the S.I.C. F-16 V2. Mark Raaphorst covered some of this in the video we shot with the Bullet earlier. I thought a […]
Aloha Everyone!! What a fun week in Oahu!! Long Distance Race – finish at Waikiki. The 2010 Duke’s Ocean Fest was a great event. The purpose of this event is to honor Duke Kahanamoku. This event has swimming, surf polo, surfing, and stand up paddling events throughout the week.
I did a Hawaii Kai downwind run with Doug Lock and Todd Bradley a while back. Todd was on a prototype C4 Switchblade and Doug and I rode his Wave Blade OC-2, 2 man canoe. The conditions were a nice 15 mph east trade wind and a great following tide which made the bumps connect […]
Saturday JULY 10, 2010 Long Course- Makapu’u to Kaimana- 17 Miles 10:00 am Start Short Course- Hawaii Kai to Kaimana- 9 Miles 11:30 am Start
The F-16 v2 is the best F series board I’ve ridden to date. After the first Hawaii Kai run, I decided that the F-16 v2 was the best planing hull F series board I had tried but after 3 sessions in various conditions I now think that it’s even better than my F-18. The board […]
I recently visited Mark Raaphorst at the S.I.C. headquarters in Maui and got to check out one of his latest creations, the S-16 Standamaran racing SUP stand up paddle board. The S-16 is surprisingly fast, especially going upwind. Upwind paddling is actually fun on this board. I shot some video of Mark explaining about the […]
