A race for Owen

Owen Cenal Memorial Race
About a year and a half ago Owen Cenal died of a heart attack while paddling with his team in a canoe race from the island of Moloka'i to O'ahu, a race that takes over 5 hours to complete. Mahalo nui to the Beach Boys for hosting this event in memory of a talented paddler, canoe paddle maker, coach, and a friend to many.

    It's great to see so many people coming together to pay tribute to one man, and in such a fitting and positive way.

    This is a great photo - a tribute in and of itself to Mr. Cenal.

    Good job on your top three finish as well!

    It is a wonderful idea - a great honour for Owen and surely a big help for his family - they must be very proud to have so many people remembering him and finishing a race in his name.
    Congratulations for your bronze medal!!!
