Maybe >reconstituting "Iditayak" (assuming it doesn't still exist). Even "Survivor" always holds it challenges in warm climate venues. Having a bunch of half naked people running around on beaches would get better ratings than a bunch of young people in thick parkas on "Survivor Greenland". As a venue for a Survivor like kayak race I think Hawaii would have lots of benefits. It could provide a significantly long race with lots of opportunities for on land challenges as well. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
