Hawaiian Canoe State Championship August 2005. Preparation for the race begins!

HAWAIIAN DESIGN OUTRIGGER CANOE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RACES

MAUI COUNTY HAWAIIAN CANOE RACING ASSOCIATION HOSTS The HCRA State Championship (Maui - Hanakao`o), AUGUST 6th, 2005

The Senior Master Men’s crew for the Na Kai Ewalu Canoe Club, who took Bronze last year, took the Silver Medal in the Hawaii State Championship races Saturday Aug 6, 2005. Way to go! Juliet, Paul Doty’s wife, and LifeWave distributor had the crew patched. They paddled a hard and fast race coming in at 3 minutes 48 seconds to take second place in the 1 mile sprint Championship race under a gorgeous blue Maui sky in Lahaina.

Paul Doty, who sat stroke (seat #1) for Na Kai Ewalu , summed it up nicely when they got back to shore: “Even though I’m done with the race, I could go out again! I felt so strong! Those patches really work - and we had only a week to practice with them, imagine what we could do over a whole season using them. Congratulations everyone!! “

It was the largest margin of victory in the history of the state regatta. More than 3,000 paddlers representing 56 clubs participated in yesterday's day-long regatta.

Kavika said with a big beaming smile, “That was the most awesome race of the season! It was the fastest time we had all year! I’m exhausted but exhilarated, we were really hammering at the end. “

Kavika further commented: “The patches seem to work really well when I’m at the point of breaking, I don’t know how to explain it but it works best when I’m ready to hit that wall – I don’t, I can just keep going!” He broke his own record for a personal best and shaved off a full 3 minutes in his time trial – wearing the patches.
