Thanks to the Kona Low we had nice stable weather in the lee of the island’s mountains for the regatta. This past Saturday saw 1,228 paddlers in 322 crews out for a nice day of just smashing it.
In the AAA division the clubs battled it out with a handful of points separating the top 5. Our metal count was boosted thanks to all the heavy metal our youth paddlers won with a 5 in a row gold metal streak.
Sunday Post Regatta Paddle
We are hoping to revive our club flotillas by having everyone jump in a canoe (OC6 or OC1) on Sunday mornings (5:45 am) for an easy run around the bay. It’s a good chance to paddle with other members and have a nice paddle around the bay.
