Hawaii's Super Bowl Tomorrow

[Eric1600]

The Tahitians are sponsored by their state, unlike the Hawaiians. Paddling there is like their national sport and they train hard everyday. It shows and it's why they are always #1 and #2. But we have some good local teams that are competing too. Both Hilo (Keaukaha) and Puna have teams which should be in the top 10. The weather forecast today isn't great for the Kaiwi channel. Due to a surface low to the far north the trade wind flow is disrupted. The paddlers like the trades because it builds some wind chop for them to surf down and the breeze helps keep them cooler. Without the wind the crossing can make for a long race.

Only about 30 minutes until the stream goes live!
