REGATTA CREWS OF 2007

NOVICE B WOMEN

This years Novice B Women were composed of 8 ladies used in different races throughout the year.  No matter who was in, they were one of our more consistent and competitive crews, placed 2nd in the Hui Wa'a Standings behind Waikiki Beach Boys Women.  Congrads to all of you wonderful ladies; Susan Yamamoto, Heather Lockerman, Sarah Cole, Julie McLaughlin, Lorna Loebl, Brandy Quinn, Marie Weitlesbach, and Nako

NOVICE B MEN

This years B Men have built upon the success of the past two years with another strong season.  This time as Hui Wa'a Champions and placing 3rd at the State Championships on Kauai.  Although small in numbers this year (seven men total), they proved to be a close knit group made up of 5 childhood friends and family members, plus 2 mainland transplants.  Together, they formed a great bond, exemplifying the best in team work and selflessness.  Congrads, Kui Keomaka, Mike Medina, Chaz Bautista, Justin Damo, Shaff Bautista, Kawika Bautista and Carl Machemer

MIXED OPEN SIX

This years Mixed Open Crew was very competitive, sitting solidly in the third and final spot among all Hui Wa'a crews in their division to qualify for the State Championships.Congratulations to Justin Fujimoto, Jared, Dara Hubin, Curtis Jaimison, Leah Miller, Amy Hines, Ronelle Simmons

SENIOR MASTER WOMEN

Our awesome Senior Master Women qualified for the State Championships after going toe to toe in some very close races with eventual Hui Wa'a Champion, North Shore.  Our ladies placed 2nd in Hui Wa'a and secured a trip to States. Congratulations, Char Meyer, Marilyn Luipold, Lauree Kalei-Gill, Christine Tate-Nishi, Nola Farias, Karen Spellmeyer, Irene Torres

SENIOR MASTER MEN CREW

This years Senior Master Men Crew was composed mostly of Golden Crewmen who dropped down to Senior Master to help out the club.  They just missed out on qualifying for states, but were always near the front of the pack, paddling hard.  Congrads on a great season, Norbert Kitashima, Cliff, Mike Tosaki, Al, Ted Kunishige, Scott Thompson.

MIXED MASTER 40 CREW

This years Mixed Master Crew had some great races, placing among the top crews in most races.  Like many other clubs that have crews with huge family and work commitments, our mixed masters were no different as they tried to patch crews together week after week.  The gang hung tough earning a trip to states and placed a respectable 7th place finish.  Congratulations, Joan Couillard, Keala, Pam Glatt, Keoni Farias, Terence "Q" Quong, Mike Tosaki, Lisa Bento.

MASTER WOMEN CREW

Our Master Women gave it their all in a very competitive division of seasoned crews from top to bottom.  Mahalo, Joan Couillard, Keala Kaupu, Jodi, Maria, Debbie and Pam Glatt

FRESHMEN WOMEN

Our Freshmen Women are another group of dedicated paddlers in a very competitive division of elite athletes.  They stuck together providing our club with much needed points during the weekly regattas.  Mahalo Shawnee, Ronnie Simmons, Michelle Carvalho, Merly Vergonio-Williams, Allegra Thompson, Kai Fernandez and Lorelei Saito.

SENIOR WOMEN

Ka Mamalahoe's Senior Women proved to be a formidable crew in what is considered the most prestigious race division in regatta competition.  Congratulations on great season, Shawnee, Dara Hubin, Kai Fernandez, Ronnie Simmons, Amy Hines, Leah Miller, and Lorelei Saito

SENIOR MEN

As a whole, the Senior Men and other open men paddlers endured perhaps the hardest luck of all in losing veteran paddlers to various work and family commitments. Returning only two veteran paddlers, many of our new guys were thrust into the fire among elite crews of the Senior Men Division.  Our guys took their lumps, endured and chopped this up as a building block for next year when many of our veterans are expected to return and some tough Novice men move up in class.  Mahalo Brian Cole, Frank Deniz, Cliff, Curtis Jamison, Jared, Justin Fujimoto and Keoni Farias.

OPEN FOUR WOMEN

 

Our Open 4 Women was a week to week mix of veterans and novice paddlers but they always worked together as one and did Ka Mamalahoe proud.  Mahalo, Shawnee, Susan Yamamoto, Dee, Keala Kaupu, Kai Fernanadez, Dara Hubin, Lorelei Saito, Marie Weitlesbach
