Runaway Train

The Alala was built in the pure paddles warehouse in Kona hawaii and is a completely revolutionary outrigger canoe design. Plain and simple, its light and its fast!! The Alala was recently put on the side of a boat and driven from The Big Island to Molokai in 8 to 10 foot seas then paddled by team LiveStrong Outrigger from Molokai to Oahu in similar conditions.

Paddler Makes Rough 200km Channel Crossing in Two Days

Japanese Paddler Duke Kaneko (47) made a 200km paddle in two days on his OC-1 from Hachijojima, an island off the coast of Japan to mainland Japan over the weekend. This crossing was made in 23 hours across the Kuroshio Current which is the 2nd fastest current in the world. Waters between Hachijojima and mainland Japan are rough due to currents moving in all directions at a maximum speed of 5 knots and at times creating whirlpools and choppy conditions due to the current moving in all directions as seen in the video below.

This crossing was made to revive the seafaring ways of the ancient Japanese and to raise awareness of current social issues in Japan.

The third stage of this crossing will be a OC-6 paddle from Mainland Japan to Bonin island (1000km) which will take place next summer.
