About Me

My photo
I am CRAZY about paddling. My favorite launch spot is the Big Bend area of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. My favorite launch spot is Hagen's Cove near Keaton Beach. I have built this blog with the purpose of promoting ATHLETIC water paddle sports. The title is the combination of two Hawaiian terms: HUKI which means to pull and HULI which means to flip. I figured that pretty sums up these particular paddle sports - Outrigger Canoeing, Surfsking, and Sculling. They each involve a lot of pulling and flipping.

OVERDRIVE

Overdrive is the cats meow! I found many titles to download. Now I just need the time to listen to all of these. Seriously this is an impressive service.

Coming Soon – OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks! The new content will play on iPod, cell phones and most MP3 devices... And I thought that it couldn't get any better. Wow, stay tuned!

WIKI

The advantage of a Wiki is that when new information is discovered about a subject, it is quickly added to the collective knowledge base. The operative words here are 'quickly' and 'collective'. This is has a big downside also: they are prone to being HIGHLY subjective. I use them carefully.

Technorati

I was successful in searching for blogs and photos using the search feature. When performing the same search using tags, I had zero hits. I figure not a lot of tagging was going on for my subject.

Del.icio.us

I am sold on Del.icio.us. I use Firefox and uploaded the add-in. Works great! I have needed something like this for a long time.

MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF THE GROUP

This has been a favorite of mine for a while now. It is about 6 minutes long so let it load first before you play it. If you don't like the video, the music will get you going.



Also, take a look at the first (top) outrigger canoe video in the sidebar(4 min) .
