A MAGAZINE

Mission Statement: to bring the excitement of outrigger paddling to a larger audience. We feel that Pacific Paddler’s hui of supporters, contributors, subscribers and advertisers is helping the sport grow, not only here in Hawaii, but around the world. Thanks for your contribution to the sport.



Kanaka Ikaika 2010

2010 was the year of the permit, or lack thereof. However, all in all, things worked out. In hindsight, the two races that were scratched from the schedule were welcomed and unexpected weeks off for everyone in a busy racing schedule. Between Kanaka Ikaika, PAA and all the independent races on the schedule, it makes one tired just thinking about doing them all.
Thanks to Bud Light, Kialoa Paddles, Haleiwa Joe's, ENZA New Zealand fruit, Hinano and Foti Bros., and all who contributed to the endeavor — Jim Foti


After the paddlers arrived at the finish at Kaimana Beach and put away their canoes, they all headed down to Lulu's in Waikiki for food, party awards and givaways. MC for the event, Jim Foti, ended the day with his signature 'rock, paper, scissors' game for the chance to win some paddle covers. For full results of the day's event go to Kanaka Ikaika's web site.
