Moku O Hawaii swept Division AAA (13-20 events) at the 64th annual Hawaii Canoe Racing Association state championships on Saturday at Hilo Bay, where heavy rain and wind also served as worthy opponents.
Puna (20 events) produced 181 points to take down defending state champion Keauhou (18), which finished with 174 points. Kai Ehitu (20) completed the Big Island sweep with a third-place finish and 155 points.
That was it as far as Division titles.
As expected, Maui’s Hawaiian (39) had more crews than any other club, and proved to be No ka oi for the third consecutive year for the Division AAAA (21-41) crown with 375 points.
