Team Primo Top Finishers in the Molokaʻi Hoe celebrates at Tikis!

Last weekend’s annual Molokai Hoe was held in some of the worst and more grueling conditions that the race has ever seen. In 5-10 knot south-west winds, over 100 canoe crews battled across the Molokai Channel. The Molokai Channel usually notorious for its strong winds and massive ocean swells, proved other wise as crews navigated the flat and arid conditions.

The world championships of outrigger canoe racing begins on Molokai at Hale O Lono Harbor on October 7th and ends over 40 miles later in Waikiki.

When it was pau, Team Primo hosted a dinner in the ocean room & lanai at Tiki's Grill & Bar. The private buffet menu included:    

Island Taro Rolls, Tender Baby Nalo Greens Salad, Steamed White Rice, Garlic & Herb Butter Sauteed Vegetables, Macadamia Nut Island Mahimahi, Teriyaki Chicken Breast Sweet Soy Ginger Sauce, Guava Glazed BBQ Ribs Ono Spice Rubbed Pork Ribs, Mango Coconut Cake and of course Primo Beer.


Team Primo featured a veteran mix of paddlers from Oahu, Maui and the Big Island. While it competes under the flag of Maui's Wailea Canoe Club, the team is sponsored by Primo beer. Those on the crew are Jimmy Austin, Mike Judd, Felipe Gomes, Kai Bartlett, Kekoa Cramer, Kaihe Chong, Will Reichenstein, Mael Carey and Jacob Abeytia.

“The Molokaʻi Hoe has become one of the longest running annual team sporting events in Hawaiʻi, second only to football. The Molokaʻi Hoe perpetuates one of Hawaii’s and Polynesia’s most important and historic cultural traditions, while honoring outrigger canoe paddlers around the world. The Molokaʻi Hoe tests the limits of physical and mental strength and endurance, courage determination and teamwork, and paddlers must also battle nature’s most extreme elements.”-Molokai Hoe Website

Team Primo Training for the race.

Team Primo still holds the record for fastest time posted by a crew from Hawaii (4:42:59), which it set last year. The crew finished fifth overall after crossing the line second, fifth and third in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 editions of the Molokai Hoe.

Top Ten Best Selling Drinks List as featured in Mutineer Magazine. Tiki's makes the list!

Tiki's Grill & Bar was stoked to find out we made inside back cover of Mutineer Magazine  list of  "Top Ten Best Selling Drinks List". We also had two drinks featured in the "Mutineer's Guide to Spring Break in Beverage" in the same issue.

Mutineer Magazine is a fine beverage publication unlike any other you’ve ever read, covering all things fine beverage with an emphasis on wine, beer and spirits. As informative as it is approachable, Mutineer Magazine will change the way you read about fine beverages.  It is the mission of Mutineer Magazine to introduce fine beverages to the millennial generation and take fine beverage culture from niche into the mainstream using a cultural rather than commercial approach across a range of mediums.

Aloha e Mike and Kapo:

Hope the new year has gotten off to a good start for you guys and the team at Tiki's.

I was just working on all of MA'O's 2009 #s and see how much produce Tiki's has been buying from us!
Just wanted to say thanks for your support - we know there are now a few good options for local greens that you guys have to choose from and are thrilled to be able to send our goods your way week after week. 
http://www.maoorganicfarms.org/img/largelogo4.gif
As always, we love to hear candid feedback about our produce and service, both good and bad. This really helps us as a business and our youth as developing leaders. 

Also, we'd love to chat with you guys about other ways to work together in 2010. Farm visits for your staff, new produce items we can grow for your menus, promotions and educational demos our youth can do for you and your guests, are just some ideas our farm team has talked about.  Your thoughts always appreciated. 

Mahalo,
Wei
