Hokulele capped off October with a 31 mile race down through the Tennessee River Gorge to compete in @chattajack which supports the @tnrivergorge. We took 2 oc6 mixed crews and several oc1 paddlers, including several first timers. We brought our #areoutriggerworld v6s, driving from Houston all the way to Chattanooga! Our A boat came in 2nd place and our B boat came in 10th! It was a tough and tight race and everyone did amazing! We also had a paddler racing with an all womens crew from Philadelphia and California who came in 1st place in their division! Congratulations to everyone and thank you to all our supporters!

Congratulations to our member Reginald for competi

Congratulations to our member Reginald for competing and placing 2nd in his class this past weekend in the Martindale Triathlon with @tckra_ . Reputed to be the oldest #triathlon in Texas, it is unique in that the swim leg is replaced with a paddle leg down the #sanmarcosriver. You can compete solo, 2-person tandem, or a 3-person relay.

10/20/24 Open Water State Championships hosted by @tckra

Hokelele and @hoewaaocc both had a great showing at the race.

Race conditions were extremely challenging. Hard breakers to get through, wind was > 25mph with probably 6 feet high waves.
There was a lot of discussion how to properly set up this course. The decision was made to go out through the breakers and have the start about 1 mile out from shore and do 4.5 loops beyond the breakers.

We want to commend all who came out on Sunday and also those who knew their limitations and decided to cheer the racers instead. That’s sometimes difficult to do. Safety first!

Only a few of us went out to the start line to do the 4.5 loops or just to go out and ride the waves back to shore.

In the end, we had members helping each other out when needed, some even forgoing their chance to complete the course.

Thank you to @sandypaddler for the great pictures! She has posted drone footage on her Facebook. Feel free to buy her a cup of coffee on her website!
