Summer is here and we have been hitting the beaches. A little surfing, a little SUP and even some paddling. We have managed in the midst of all the fun to make some additions to the site:

Olympic Gold Medalist Clint "Robbo" Robinson won the Perth leg of the Surf Ski world Cup in smashing style, the man is a machine. This video showcases the event and what ever you do don't miss the final 5 mins of "Robbo" smashing it on runner after runner..... it's awesome.
This is NOT the Outrigger version focusing on Karel Jr, that is still to come , however he is in this Video as well.

Herb Kane Design Features Surfer and Canoe Paddlers
The stamp is scheduled to be issued and officially dedicated at a special First Day of Issue event in summer 2009 in Honolulu. Postal Service Honolulu District Manager Daryl Ishizaki will preside over the event. Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle and Hawaii’s Congressional representatives will be invited to participate in the First Day of Issue program that will be capped by the unveiling of an oversized image of the stamp. More details of the event will be announced at a later date.
Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1898 and the 50th state on Aug. 21, 1959, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation that officially welcomed Hawaii into the United States.
“We look forward with great excitement to the issuance of this Hawaii stamp next year,” said Ishizaki. “It’s an honor for the state to be commemorated in this fashion and an honor for the Postal Service to play a part in such a historic occasion. We anticipate tremendous interest in the stamp from collectors in Hawaii and throughout the world.”
About the stamp image: Artist and historian Herb Kawainui Kane, who has dedicated much of his life to studying Hawaiian culture and history, created the painting on the stamp. In the art, a surfer rides a wave on a longboard, a popular choice among surfers for centuries. Next to him, two people paddle an outrigger canoe to shore. Kane has extensive knowledge and experience in surfing, a favorite pastime, and canoe construction, a skill he developed from building a traditional sailing canoe himself.
Note to media: A high-resolution JPEG image of the Hawaii Statehood stamp is available upon request. Please submit your request to duke.gonzales@usps.gov

Canadian

Latin American
U.S. West/East/Inland
We will continue to update these sections as time permits. You can find these forums located under the corresponding links for clubs in the right-hand column of links.
We are pleased to give you yet another feature here on the site.
new hope oc1 presents the Honolulu Trip Planner. No, we haven't added a full service travel agency, but what we have added might be as good if you have ever tried to park downtown.
The Honolulu Trip Planner (Left sidebar under the "oahu Drivetime Webcams") enables you to enter the specifics of your trip—where you're starting, where you're ending up, what time of day you'd like to leave and/or arrive—then uses TheBus's schedules and information to plot out the most efficient possible step-by-step itinerary.
In other words you can Create your own transit trip, complete with itineraries and maps when ever you have to use TheBus.
