For CORA sprint participants who want to register for the V1 (solo rudderless) races over the 30 April to 1 May weekend, please ensure that you secure a V1 boat to race in. CORA is not supplying boats for solo sprint heats. Note that mixed crew paddlers cannot race in V1 over the sprint weekend. However, men and women in gender crews can race in V1 and can share V1 boats providing they share across genders. These restrictions are required to ensure fast and efficient race management and are not negotiable. To assist qualified paddlers who need to find a V1 or have one to share, CORA has created a forum to connect paddlers with and without V1s to arrange sharing.

Hawaii Radio Connection with Boy Chun Fook
Borders are open, vaccines are available, gathering / travel restrictions are lifting, and canoe racing is returning.
CORA would like to offer you an uplifting “Fireside Chat” with Mr. Boy Chun Fook – former PNWORCA Chairman, small-boat / sprints regatta / long-distance OC event organizer, founding member of Kikaha O Ke Kai of Tacoma WA, frequent visitor to CORA events – to get you in the spirit for a return to in-person racing as we are all “Jonesing” to see fellow paddlers once again.
Cozy up to the speakers with a beverage of your choice as Boy Chun Fook chats in Part 1 of 2 and Part 2 of 2 with Bellevue WA radio station KBCS (Hawaii Radio Connection) hosts Braddah Gomes and Auntie Ala, as they discuss the many challenges that event organizers have faced with hosting events during COVID, the weather dynamics that make The Gorge a surfing destination known around the world, and the spiritual healing benefits of being able to drive a few hours to The Gorge for a surfing escape away from COVID.
Browse the playlists and enjoy the unique sounds that evoke a tropical island paradise for your ears brought to you every Saturday for two hours by Hawaii Radio Connection.
