Downwind Run in Hurricane Maria Swell in the Puakea Designs Kahe Kai OC1 and Ehukai OC1

In 2017, Hurricane Maria pushed winds and swell onto the North Carolina coastline, and it was the perfect opportunity to get the Puakea Designs Ehukai and Kehe Kai outrigger canoes on some bumps!

It turned out to be one of those magical days when ocean just gave us gift after gift. If you’ve been downwinding, you know what that means!
