Super 'value for the money', great weather, awesome camping, wicked race, fabulous food, great party, and not 1 but 2 great bands for the paddlers party ......THIS EVENT WAS truly FANTASTIC ! I would encourage teams to put this on their list of races for next year...it was a great time both on and of the water. Thanks to paddlers from Mana Wahine, the NAVY, PI, and Fire on Water there were 3 full crews of Dragonboaters (with a few friends thrown in). The boys came 2nd overall a mere 9 seconds behind 1st in a time of 15:41...and Mana Wahine came 8th overall with 16:06. 28 teams in the event, morning and afternoon groups with 2 heats in each session. The boys came first in our heat and the wahines came second in the same heat (second group in the morning). The race portion was 5km on the craziest stretch of the 2 1/2 hour paddle. Thanks to the paddlers who took the challenge and supported this event.
