Outrigger pair race to fight breast cancer
We are a racing team known by the name Hui Ho'ola. In the Hawaiian language "hui" generall means team and "ho'ola" means save, heal and cure. Talk about a race for the cure. How about 340 miles -- on a canoe -- for 60 straight hours -- all for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Beginning July 19, my racing partner Stephen Mahelona and I will paddle a Huki outrigger canoe to tackle the mighty Missouri River for 340 non-stop miles as we seek to raise awareness and funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Stephen and I are entered into the 2011 Missouri River 340, the world's longest non-stop river race, to make a contribution to a cause very close to Stephen.
Stephen's wife Stacie has undergone breast cancer treatment and surgery this past year, so we wanted to make a difference by racing and raising funds for the fight against breast cancer.
I want to invite this outrigger paddling community to visit our website at http://huihoola.weebly.com/
and consider making a donation.
We want to thank Jude at Huki for stepping up and joining our effort in a significant way. We promise to make you proud on your canoe.
Thanks all,
Dan "Osprey" Grubbs

Canoe & Kayak Racing - Nov/Dec
While those of us in the northern hemisphere have visions of sunny days and warm waters, maybe a bit of reading will help us get through the winter.
In this latest issue of Canoe & Kayak Racing we feature an intrepid crew who paddled a dragonboat 340 miles in a non-stop river race.
We also give you two different perspectives of the Half Moon Bay race in California, part of the Wavechaser series of winter races.
You will also read about paddling technique and what Coach Caven thinks about sport drinks.
Oh, there's also this new little race ... 62 miles ... on the lower Colorado River. Known as the Texas Winter 100K, it's sure to keep you going through the chilly weather.
Be sure to pass this on to your paddling friends.

Kole'Gear Pressurized Hydration System
Steve Cole, CEO and Founder of Kole'Gear, was nice enough to give thegearcaster.com the run down on his approach to pressurized hydration and his new line of packs.
To achieve superior and constant pressurization, Kole'Gear uses a natural food grade rubber latex balloon bladder system instead of relying on air pumped into a normal bladder such as the Polarpak MOFLOW. A bottle and pump comes included in order to pump liquid into the bladder, so it does require some pre-activity preparation but nothing more complicated than filling a normal hydration pack. The 1.75 liter capacity filled balloon offers continuous water pressure unlike other packs that will lose their pressure as the water volume decreases. Simply bite the antimicrobial valve and receive a constant stream of water-the theory is you won't ever have to suck for water when you should be breathing instead. I could have used one of these on Kilimanjaro!
A Kole'Gear waistpack and backpack version of the pressurized hydration system will be available first (due out soon!). The future applications are where it gets even more innovative. Steve said his company plans to come out with the Saddlebullet- a cycling attachment that straps to the bottom of a bike seat. The saddlebag and balloon bladder are connected to a tube that runs along the frame of the bike and hooks on to the rider's handlebars for easy access.
The Kauai, Hawaii based Company also plans an insulated hose version for extreme cold or hot climates and a quick fill faucet attachment to eliminate the need for the filling pump.
Chris Combs, Manager of Marketing and Design, explains how the Kole'Gear system works over at thegearcaster
