New York Outrigger is fielding a mens crew for the first time in 10 years to the ultimate outrigger challenge: Moloka’i Hoe. NYO Men have been training consistently all season and are looking forward to the 41 mile change race across the Kai’wi Channel between the islands of Oahu and Molokai in Hawaii on Sunday, October 10. Having practiced their water changes in the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean and thoroughly marinated in the grit of the Hudson River, NYO Men are looking forward to showing everyone that the island tradition of outrigger canoeing is flourishing on the island of Manhattan.
