Cline Mann Memorial Ko`olaupoko Paddleboard Race Perpetual Trophy

Before the death of Cline Mann in 1996, he had talked about starting a paddleboard race from Makai Pier to the OCC Beach, a course that had never been raced on paddleboards before.  On July 8, 2000 the OCC Paddleboard Committee inaugurated the first Cline Mann Memorial Ko`olaupoko Paddleboard Race, a distance of 17 miles.

The name Ko`olaupoko represents the portion of the Ko`olau range between Makapu`u and Nuuanu Pali, or the “short Ko`olau’s”.  The race was an extension of the 5,000 meter triangle normally raced in August at the Outrigger (the race was known as the Cline Mann 5K Paddleboard Race).

The trophy for the race was made from hau cut from the trunk of a tree removed from the Hau Terrace earlier in the year, and turned by Kimo Austin.  Ironically, his son Jimmy Austin is the first name to appear on the trophy as winner of the race in 2000 and 2001.  The vase sits on a wood base on which the names of all the winners are listed on plaques.  To see the list of winners click here.

Cline Mann Memorial Paddleboard Race Junior Champion

Cline Mann always enjoyed watching the youngsters who entered the Outrigger Canoe Club paddleboard races.  In 1997, as a tribute to Cline, the Paddleboard Committee dedicated a perpetual trophy for the winning paddler under the age of 18.

The initial winners were from the Cline Mann 5K race.  In 2006, a short course was added to the Cline Mann Memorial Ko`olaupoko Paddleboard Race.  Juniors were allowed to enter the short course from Hawaii Kai to the OCC.

The Junior trophy was designed and built by Nicky Black.  Made from koa, the base lists the names of all winners.

Cline Mann 5000 Meter Paddleboard Race Perpetual Trophy

On August 10, 1985 the Outrigger Canoe Club Paddleboard Committee, chaired by Karl Heyer IV, renamed the annual 10,000 Meter Summer Paddleboard Race, the Cline Mann Paddleboard Race, and reduced the distance to 5,000 meters.

The trophy for the race was designed and built by Sean McKibbin out of monkeypod.  The trophy shows a hand-carved prone paddleboarder going over a wave.

“Cline Mann contributed so much to the sport of paddleboard racing,” Heyer said, ”that the Committee wanted to find a way to thank him for all his effort, so we decided to name this race after him.”  The race was last held in 1999.  In 2000, the OCC Paddleboard Committee started a new race in Cline’s honor, and named it the Cline Mann Memorial Ko`olaupoko Paddleboard Race, a 17-mile race from Makai Pier to the OCC.

Only the men’s winners are listed on the trophy.  The women’s winners are listed here.
