Decompress after the busy holidays with a weekend of camping with the club at the Malaekahana State Recreation Area. There’s no agenda for the weekend except for Sunday’s Goat Island paddle. Do whatever you like kayak, swim, snorkel, boogie-board, surf, fish, beachcomb, hike, sunrise watch or just lie in a hammock.
An EZ Glider day of paddling, fishing and surfing around the park & Moku’auia island.
Paddle across Keʻehi Lagoon, the airport reef runway and the Pearl Harbor entrance.
On this paddle you can experience Waikiki like a tourist as we go from Magic Island to Waikiki and back. We’ll launch from the Magic Island canoe ramp, go out the channel and then paddle inside the reef to get an up close look at hotels and sun worshipers.
Surfers meet at the Kailua Boat Ramp for an 8:30 AM surf clinic. Surfing not required, but those so inclined will get basic surf instruction and then practice with other experienced kayak surfers.
Quarterly HWK board meeting for the officers and board to discuss club business. All members are welcome to attend.
This medium length paddle around Le’ahi (Diamond Head) is a good one for novices looking to improve their open ocean skills. We’ll take a break about halfway at Shangri-La.
One of the most challenging paddles on O‘ahu from the Makai Research Pier to Maunalua Bay. You’ll pass many scenic spots: the Makapu‘u Lighthouse, the rugged Kaiwi Coast, Sandy Beach, Koko Crater, the Halona Blowhole, Hanauma Bay and China Walls, but you may be too busy watching for big trade swells to appreciate the scenery.
A shortened version of the Big Kahuna: Kapoho Point to Moku Manu and back. Stops at Mōkōlea Rock & Moku Manu cave (The latter is dependent on no live-fire exercises at Mokapu Range).
An EZ Glider round trip paddle from the He’eia Kea canoe hale to Ahu o Laka, the sandbar in the middle of Kaneohe Bay. A great beginners paddle!
A south shore cruise along Kaka’ako and Sand Island. Landing at the beach near the Marine Education Training Center in Ke’ehi Lagoon. This is a great paddle for novices to test out paddling on the open ocean.
An EZ Glider round-trip paddle around Coconut Island. Actual course will be set at the time of launch.
