Day 2: OC Camp – OC6
Our first taste of paddling in Kauai came in the form of an OC6 lesson. Most of us will participate in a clinic/camp for the next few days, ahead of our race on Saturday (Hawaii time). Our camp is led by Keone Miyake (https://kauaioutrigger.com/instructors/), whose wife organises the Na Pali Challenge. Keone’s also done a multitude of other races around Hawaii and the world.
For day 1, we gained an understanding of Hawaiian paddling, and worked on our technique at a level 1 pace. We also practiced some race starts. Our ladies crew got to paddle in an unlimited V6! So jealous.
Mixed crew (mixed with some other non-PDs) video and ladies video.
The day finished with watching the sunset, over Family Day on Hanalei Bay… check this out!
