Santa Barbara Rig Run 2014
The club decided not to go this year, but since I had already paid for the hotel I figured we would go down and see if I could get on a crew “free agent” style. I went down in the morning and found a sign up sheet at the SCORA desk with crews looking to fill seats. Oceanside Outrigger Canoe Club was looking for a guy to fill a seat on a co-ed open team for the long course. Almost got to go in an unlimited canoe, but ended up in seat 3 with a great crew. I have to say Oceanside is a fantastic club with a lot of racers and canoes. They were so nice to me and we hammered it. Slowly inch by inch we passed one after the other. The Co-eds started 5 or so minutes after the women so there were a lot of canoes in front of us. But after I while I noticed they were all women, I didn’t see another co-ed crew around us. The canoe felt great and we caught some good bumps and managed to finish in second place! Big mahalo to my adopted crew.

Maui Canoe Club
1
Want to get an idea how the ancient Hawaiians got to the islands? Go on an outrigger canoe paddle with the Maui Canoe Club.
To go, meet up on the beach with the club any weekday (weekends are for members only) at 7:30 and 8:30 AM. You need to get there 20 minutes early so you should leave the condo by 6:50 or 7:50. It costs $20 for an hour outing or $40 for 4 outings.
To get there from the condo get back on the Piilani Highway 31 (turn right out of the condo entrance and take the first right Keonekai Rd) north like you are going to Lahaina. Turn left at the light to North Kihei Rd (HI 310, where the sign says Lahaina). Stay to the right and follow HI 310 past the Sugar Beach Resort (the big gear on the left) for only a couple of blocks. You should see the red and white canoes on your left. Park on the left.

Started out foggy but the sun came out and conditions were flat for the 12 miles from the Santa Cruz harbor to the buoy off Natural Bridges, back and in. I was in seat two. Although our finish order was not great our speed was in the high 6 to 7 MPH the whole way. That is pretty darn fast for me. Thanks to the rest of the guys in my boat Andrew, Jay D, Carter, DK, and Rich.
