]]> 2008-12-07T21:03:04-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/molokai_surfski_race_rentals/ With the amount of inquiries I am getting, it's not too soon to take reservations for skis in Hawaii for the Molokai. 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. Events, Hawaii 2008-11-26T21:08:41-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/custom_kayaks_new_racing_ski_synergy/ Hybrid and Lite Synergys will be available from Ocean Paddlesports in Feburary. Check out the independent review of this ski on http://www.surfski.info If you want to be guaranteed a ski, a deposit is recommended as we will have a limited supply in this first container. 2008-11-10T17:53:00-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/new_accessories_added/ 2008-11-05T21:40:00-08:00 http://www.oceanpaddlesports.com/site/index.php/news/steve_woods_wins_phatwater/ Congratualations to South African Steve Woods for winning the Phatwater race Saturday, October 11. 40 miles on the Mississippi...in 3 hours 53 minutes...unofficial.
