I expect to see a supportive turnout for this race. I understand campsites have opened up, so if you were discouraged, nows the time to pick up the phone and reserve a site. The entire beachfront area was rennovated and should be a beautiful and exciting venue to race in. Drive safe and see you on the water! http://www.palekai.org/race.htm ... |

A lot of bars were set this day: Race host Hanohano did an excellent job of providing food, commemorative race t-shirts and sweatshirts, cool awards,a killer raffle, game center for the kids, and keeping us on time; SCORA officials and officials-in-training did a great job in setting up the equipment and race course, inspecting canoes for compliance to safety requirements, photoing any out-of-jersey infractions (we'll soon see how well we all did with that rule); and the paddlers! setting new heights for competition as well ... |

Hello Sports Fans! By now most of you have already pulled your paddles out of the corner, and put ski's and snowboards in their place to get ready for the 2007 SCORA racing season.
Hanohano promises another great kick-off event on May 12th in San Diego on Mission Bay. If you want a little warm-up event, head out to Tempe Town Lake on April 28th and join our Arizona clubs in their Regatta.
In the meantime remember the following:
