Kupa'a Mau members who are interested in racing in this world class event should contact Coach Charlie to let him know of your interest and to ask him to please contact SCORA's IVF Representative, Lori Kitahata.
California crews have a limited number of lanes available to them for racing. If more crews sign up and pay their deposits than there are lanes for, SCORA will organize time trials during the summer.
If you plan to compete in OC1 divisions, start practicing your rudderless skills, because there is no rudder-full racing at this competition.
Event volunteers are need to. So if you're interested in helping out for part of or all of the event, get in touch with Lori.
Please check the link on our Competition Page frequently for updates. Age divisions and categories can be found in the Preliminary Race Packet.

Marine Corps Outrigger Canoe Race - Recap
Wow….what an absolutely fabulous weekend. I can’t remember when I had this much
fun.
A special Mahalo to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Semper Fit and the Single Marine
Program for the opportunity they afforded us. This was a remarkable experience and we enjoyed being there and working with all of you (Danielle West, Sergeant Major Wayne Bell, Eddie
Hadley and our own John Preston).
In attendance were Single Marines from the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego and the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma,
AZ. Thank you to all of you for a great time and for allowing us to share this sport we love, paddling outrigger canoes. Looks like a few people enjoyed themselves enough to practice with
us in the near future. We look forward to paddling with you soon.

Prestigious Award presented to Casey & Charlie White
The late Toots was the father of the Moloka'i race and brought Hawai'ian canoe racing to California in 1959. Toots also founded the International Hawai'ian Canoe Racing Association (IHCRA), an organization that brought nations of people together.
The paddle was originally given to him when he was inducted into the Hawai'ian Sports Hall of Fame http://hawaiisportshalloffame.com/xminv.htm. It was later given to IHCRA who presented the paddle to the Southern California paddling community in the early 90's. A symbol of dedication and hard work, the A.E. Toots Minvielle Paddle Award recognizes and celebrates members of the paddling community who strive for the continued growth and development of the sport.

KMOCC has a new home and canoe site
Kupa'a Mau Outrigger Canoe Club has found a home for our canoes and our paddlers at Del Mar Beach, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
Del Mar Beach is located at the southern end of Camp Pendleton and offers miles of magnificent surf. One of North County San Diego's best kept secrets, Del Mar Beach is one of Southern California's most exclusive surf breaks. A breakwater pushes almost a mile into the Pacific, and rolls in with authority. The beach features a boat basin, restrooms/showers, barbecue pits and is clean, quiet and relaxing.
Del Mar Beach is open to the military, their dependents, retirees, and their guests. Access to the base is available for Kupa'a Mau OCC paddlers through the front gate of Camp Pendleton (there are several other gates for entry into Camp Pendleton, but you can only get a temporary pass at the main gate). For complete directions and a map, please see the attachment below. Suggestions of what to bring to practice can be found on the Training section of our website at http://kmocc.org/training.htm. For questions, please contact John Preston at john.d.preston@worldnet.att.net.
