This site is the official source for the Paddle & Event Schedule for the Hui Wa’a Kaukahi kayak club of Hawai’i. Founded in 1982, we are Hawaii’s oldest recreational kayak club.
Upcoming Events
Because of liability concerns, our paddles are for Hui and ACA members only. Non-members are however welcome to tag along as “guests” but they will be required to read and sign our Hui and ACA waivers, and pay a $10 ACA event membership fee, before they can go. The same is true for club members who are not ACA members. Guests can download the ACA adult waiver.
Stories
- Saluting the Sun at Summer Solstice
On some paddles, you go farther than others. Some paddles, maybe you don’t go far at all. It still counts for a few moments on the water. That’s my take, and I’m sticking to it. - Hauʻula to Mālaekahana 2026
Paddle from Hauʻula to Mālaekahana. We got close ups of islets w pukas, walked around then paddled around Goat Island where we got to see a lingering albatross and unidentified sea birds (maybe Ruddy Turnstones.) - Mai Tai Bar Paddle
Another Small Craft Advisory threatened to upset our Sunday plans once more, but paddle leader Eileen was determined to proceed with this event even if we had to leave our kayaks on our cars and walk to the Mai Tai Bar. Luckily, the SCA ended before the paddle so we unloaded and headed toward Leahi. - Haleʻiwa to Runway Beach 2026
On the way to the North Shore we had a uh-oh moment when the rain started pouring down. Being the fearless paddlers we are, we kept going. Luckily, when we reached Haleiwa Beach Park it was a gorgeous island day.
