a little snippet of connor's recap of the race, calls it a starboard and doesn't mention anything about SIC in his thanks to his sponsors later in the blog post.. interesting

Coonor begins the recap with an honest asessment, ?The 32-Mile Molokai-2-Oahu Event was the hardest race I have done this year.?
My family and I went from Maui to Molokai on Friday on our boat. We brought my boards, our food, water, clothes, provisions, and Igloo coolers. It was great to get there a couple of days early to relax.
On Saturday Zane Schweitzer and I got a good paddle in. We also got our Starboards ready with OnIt Pro. Then the remainder of the day was rest and lots of eating!

I still think the average punter in the SUP market is not celebrity-conscious. As you'd know, Kai Lenny was here a few months back. The vast majority of our club members didn't know who Kai Lenny was. The thing that sells boards around here is results in local races. If you want to sell your board in our market, you need to sponsor local riders.

Yep that would be a good strategy , are their many spnsored riders down South?

No.. not many.. Mostly people involved or suppoted by the local shops.. No real international level people.

I don't think it would be a big deal if Connor had huge SIC stickers and smaller Starboard/DaKine/MauiJim stickers rather than how he had his big white Bullet with huge Starboard logo's down the side and teeny weeny sic stickers.. Good to see he's stopped that now with his big green bullet.
