Lokahi’s old-timers
surge past Koa Kai

Star-Bulletin staff

Lokahi relied on its old-timers to hold off another spirited challenge by Koa Kai to win the Kamehameha Canoe Club Regatta, the second event of the Na Ohana O Na Hui Wa'a season, yesterday at Keehi Lagoon.

Lokahi's women's seniors started a run of four wins in five events that helped the team score 66 points to take both the overall and A Division title.

Koa Kai, which won last week's regatta, took the AA Division title for small clubs and finished second overall with 53 points.

Paddling for the Lokahi women senior's crew were Mikala Hetlund, Di Flores, Ginger Lockette, Jennifer Thompson-Tuzon, Susan Colburn and Iwa Bush.

Lokahi's Senior Men, Mixed Masters and Senior Men Masters followed with wins to break open what had been a close regatta.

Na Keiki O Ka Moi and Waikiki Yacht Club tied for second in the A division with 42 points each.

New Kaneohe and Windward Kai tied for second in the AA Division with 31 points.

The Hui Wa'a season continues next Sunday with the Manu O Ke Kai Regatta at Haleiwa Beach Park.

The Oahu Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association holds its first regatta of the season next Sunday with the Clem D. Paiaina Regatta.
