talk about pressure to perform ,i have had a few paddles in hawaii and the molokai channel and that water is alot different to anything we have here and never disrespect your competition and never the HAWAIIAN'S , and boards all have there day but lenght can also be a killer in rough downwinders over 2 hours , plaining against displacement well we can go on for ever on that but you got to find a blend of both for molokai and best fit for paddleboards in molokai i have come up with is mostly planning hull with displacement outline .But SUP boards i haven't worked out yet but having fun trying ,good job with your boards and you got the right guy riding it ,but don't give the competitions the reson to find the little extra it might be needed to change the result.

Hey Waduku ther's no pressure on Woogie to perform, they don't expect him to win. All anyone can do is their best. As for the Molokai channel he's been there plenty of times before and knows what to expect and as for me I have never ever showed disrespect towards the Hawaiians, I love the place and whether Woogie wins or loses doesn't matter, at least we'll have a go. We do this for fun after all, don't you?

yea fun win or loose and been that way for many years ,they might see it a different way in hawaii with your comments disrepect or not i know those guys and have nothing but respect for them all and first or last ,18 foot or 12 foot just competing is all that matters

Aloha

I wanted to post a reply here since Stuey was getting some heat about his challenge on the other forum. The info being passed around with Stuey and me was nothing more than good fun and it had nothing to do with Hawaii paddlers and in no way taken as disrespect. Yes it did get a little out of hand but what can you expect from a craftsman who puts sweat and hours in producing a board he can be proud of.
One thing you guys have going with SUP race boards in Australia is Stuey being so passionate about his boards and this is something I really respect. Nowadays this passion gets lost with trying to sell to the masses. I really believe you have a great man in Stuey and Stuey is lucky to have one of the top test pilots in Woggie Marsh. I have my kids studying Woggies vids because I love his paddling style.
I really hope Stuey does well in the Molokai challenge because he has one of the top motors in Marsh now it is up to Stuey to build the vehicle to match the motor. Just wanted to pass this info on and I will now head back to my world.

Aloha
