Aloha everyone,
We regret to inform you that there are unsafe south / southwest swells predicted for Friday and Saturday that could impact the safety of canoes and escorts, so Kauai Outrigger Association has decided to change the course of the race. The start will be out of Kalapaki and ending in Hanalei Bay. This new route is a 33 mile race. All the little details of this will be given at the coaches meeting, which will now be at Niumalu Canoe Club Hale at Kalapaki Friday 5pm.
We understand that this is not the race you signed up for and if any crew wants to cancel, we are prepared to refund entry fees and shuttle costs. Please email info@racenapali.com if you wish to cancel and we’ll work that out.
We as KOA are making best of a situation that is beyond our control and we want to thank you in advance for your understanding and patience as we shuffle a lot of logistics in a short amount of time.
Mahalo, Race Administration
