There were lots of hulies along with plenty of hooting and yelling both on the course and from the beach. The crowd would spontaneously break out in a collective "ah" as a lucky crew found themselves charging down a huge wave followed either by a cheer from the beach as the steersman managed to keep his canoe straight or a wincing sigh of disbelief if the steersman lost control and flipped. Sometimes it was less dramatic. With the wrong angle on a wave, a canoe can fill up in seconds; but thanks to the water safety crew out patrolling on jet skies, getting paddlers and canoes back to the beach didn't take as long as it had just a decade earlier. Waikiki Beach Boys and Hui Va'a hosted the event which has only been canceled twice due to large surf. The Waikiki Beach Boys was formed in 1973 by local 'Beach Boys' Moku Kamaka, Kimo Makua, Ted Bush and Bob Nagatani who wanted to extend the aloha of paddling like they had done with surfing. The AAA Division had only one club, Na Keiki O Ka Mo'i who scored 62 points. Koa Kai was one point shy with 61 points to win the AA Division. Lokahi followed with 53 and taking third was Waikiki Beach Boys 45. The A Division's winner was Kumulokahi-Elks with 25 points, Ka Mamalahoe 20 and Hawaiian Outrigger 13. "Conditions are up and down, said Pali Palakiko from Windward Kai. "It's very exciting; anything can happen." Paul Amoy who performed a barrel roll with his 60 plus women's crew joked about it.
