A scenic paddle going past all the famous North Shore surf breaks. The first couple miles are the most challenging depending on the swell.
This is a mellow paddle on the calm, leeward coast. Going by World Famous Makaha surfing beach where there is also a turtle feeding station if anybody would like to take a dip and check out some honu.
Join the fun, come race with the crew as we race down from Hawaii Kai to Wai‘alae Beach using any wind catchment system. Paddling is allowed and there will be a fabulous pot luck and coveted finisher’s prizes for various categories and one person will be crowned “Windbag of the Year”!
The first half of this paddle is not the most scenic, but once you pass the Kalaeloa Harbor entrance you cruise by the plush Ko Olina Resort. The reef in front of Ko Olina and the Kahe Power Plant cooling water discharge pipe are great snorkeling spots.
A return to an old stomping ground! Meet at the He’eia Kea Small Boat Harbor’s canoe hale at 9:00 AM. Bring lunch and snorkel gear, if so inclined. The route goes across part of the Sandbar (Ahu O Laka) and may get shallow at spots so bring reefwalkers or tennies/tabies for crossing shallow spots and the rocky landing on the island.

While the fishermen try to reel in a big papio, non-fishing club members can take an EZ Glider roundtrip cruise to visit Turtletown in the patch reefs of Kaneohe Bay. A high concentration of honu inhabit these reefs and we hope to snorkel respectfully with them.
This is a round trip paddle along the rugged leeward coast from Mākua Beach to Kaʻena Point and back. Probably too early for a humpback whale encounter, but maybe an early arrival will show up.
This EZ Glider from Kahana Bay to Hauʻula Beach Parkwill be on protected water inside the reef. Experienced paddlers can opt to go outside the reef if conditions allow.
