exerpt from Honolulu Advertiser article:
"Tongg, one of the most influential figures in the sport of canoe paddling, died on July 13 after a four-year battle with lung cancer. He was 63.
"The first thing I hope he's remembered for is being a family man and that he loved the Lord," said his wife, Jan. "But he also loved the ocean, and anything and anybody associated with the ocean." Tongg was a former champion paddler who later became an instrumental administrator in the sport..." |

AccesSportAmerica just finished another week in the Marina with their kids, continuing their fine work giving kids with special needs access and opportunity to sports like outrigger canoe paddling. We're proud to assist them in their endeavors.
AccesSportAmerica is an entirely volunteer group of people who train and support camps for special needs kids and young adults. They have various camps all across the US throughout each year (from Music camps, theater, etc) and they use the canoes for recreation. Peter, his brother Will and their friend Russ all are active outrigger paddlers in Boston. |

Novice Women Enrollment Closing |
|
Wednesday, 18 April 2007 |
|
We have had a terrific response to our women's program this year, so much so that we are running out of space for new paddlers. We have seven canoes and 6 seats in each boat, so those seats fill up pretty quickly with new paddlers and with paddlers returning year after year. Most of our novice paddlers have been paddling since March, some since last October- so you will have some catching up to do.
The last day that we can take new female paddlers is Wednesday April 18. Our practice is at 5:30. Our first race is May 12 and we are working to get our crews organized. We hope you can make it to give this terrific sport a try. If it's too late to start for the summer season, keep an eye on the web page and watch for our 'offseason program', which usually starts in October.
Please send us an email so that we can email you for announcements. Thanks.
Men's enrollment still continuing....
