Hawaii Kai to Waikiki Kayak Race - Short Course

"The final race of the Poai Puni series was run yesterday in blustery conditions. The wind was out of the Northeast at 15 to 30 MPH and seas were 4-8 ft with rain squalls added in.

The kayaks were started at the Kailua boat ramp at 10:00am and the canoes were supposed to be started at 10:45am immediately adjacent to the Makai Pier. Prior to the start, everyone began paddling to windward to try and gain a downwind angle advantage for rounding Makapuu. As one paddler remarked after the race, "It was a good thing Rabbit Island was in the way or we would have been halfway to Molokai." To make matters worse, the starter waved the green start flag from the pier at 10:40am, 5 minutes early. The racers were by now, a half mile away and couldn't see the flag and gradually started on their own.

The two Foti brothers were just off the beach on the inside when the race started and rounded Makapuu about 20 places behind.

Walt Guild led the race by more than a hundred yards until about Portlock when Mark Rigg began to creep up on him. Mark passed Walt around Niu Valley, and John Foti finally worked his way up to second place later in the race.
