Aloha to the paddlers and ocean lovers who arrived at Hawaiirama courtesy of the friendly folks at Sea Level! (via Newyorkology) Well, we don't have much outrigger content yet on the site (we're only five days old, after all) but there will be plenty of it going forward. So stay tuned as we continue to blog from...the least beautiful place on Earth? It is looking like a particularly interesting year for paddling as the old guard continues to deal with tons of challenges from upstart clubs and the whole paddling scene becomes more competitive. If you have specific requests for paddling coverage from afar, don't hesistate to ask us (tips-at-hawaiirama.com). We're pretty open and up for anything at this point. A hui hou!
