About Today’s Show
Today we are at the Hawaii State Outrigger Canoe Championship Races. Paddlers from all over the Hawaiian Islands come to compete. Ages range from 12-60+ and this is one adrenalin packed day! There are a limited number of racing lanes; each crew must earn enough points during the regular racing season to qualify.
Notice the beautiful all wood canoes, hand-carved from a single koa tree log.
This show features the Novice B women’s race and Novice B Mixed (women and men) race. You may recognize some of the paddlers from show #72, when they were just starting their training. You Lost fans may also recognize “Krengel” who is AD on the TV show, and was guest director on Beach Walk #64.
Lost fans: I also recommend this site by Ryan and Jen, two Hawaii friends of ours.
Today’s extra show music is “Memory” by Annika and can be found on the Podsafe Music Network.
Hawaiian words
