We want to take a trailer of skis from San Fran and the Champs, August 22-23 to Chicago...August 29 and then down to Texas for the Colorado 100, Sept 5. Events, USA $100 USA Champs only. US Champs and Chicago $300..Chicago only $250. The Colorado 100 is not that well known..so we are not sure if we will get the response. check out the web site http://www.coloradoriver100.com 100 miles downriver..yeha!]]> 2009-06-09T03:42:04-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/molokai_wrap_up/ After a week or so of reflection on the trip and the race, all that comes to mind is what a great race this is. Even though for the 3rd run in a row, the wind decided not to blow, the channel stills attracts the best in the world to give it a go. I want to say congratulations to Hank Mcgregor and Katie Popcock...what incredible performances. Fun to see Katie win it. I also want to mention that although I saw mostly the parking lot and the trailer while loading up skis, how lucky we are to have so many kind paddlers helping us out. Without our friends in Hawaii, it would be impossible to have the Fenn skis available there for the Aussies, Canadians, Tahitians and mainland paddlers. We are not a huge company, rather just me and Patrick. So thanks to everyone who lended a helping hand. Until next year, aloha!! 2009-05-21T15:15:43-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/mainland_paddlers_in_hawaii/ The California training group of Cliff Meidl,Pat Hemmens, Barry Borm and Noah Hawk prepare for the Molokai Channel crossing on Sunday. ]]> 2009-05-12T22:03:52-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/molokai_world_champs/ Events, Hawaii ]]> 2009-05-11T18:51:40-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/fenn_elite_double/ Check out a review of this ski at http://www.surfski.info Or give me a call and set up a time to demo.

Overall impressions from Patrick were that it was so stable in the messy water, and obviously fast enough to win the race. Second place went to Chris Stout on his new Mako Elite..followed by local favorites Carter Johnson and Dave Jenson. Day 2 is cancelled due to the extreme weather forcast.

With Fenn skis dominating the world cup circut last year and so far this fall, we have to make plans now to have skis available. Looks like we will have about 10 Fenn Elites and 15 Mako 6s, and a few Mako XTs, all carbon vacum. Rental will stay the same as last year.... $500 for 7-10 days prior to and including the race. We hate to charge so much, but Ocean Paddlesports has to ship a full trailer there and back so rentals just cover that exspense. Contact DeAnne to make a reservation.
