At this event we will practice our kayak rescue skills. These skills include self rescue, assisted rescue, bailing out a flooded kayak and towing. We will begin with instructions on the beach going over rescue techniques, but the bulk of the session will be spent getting wet on the water. The goal will be for all participants to be confident that they can get back in their kayak on their own and assist others if needed.

This weekend was reserved for our annual two-day Papio Kayak Fishing Tournament, but with the decreased interest in fishing within the club we’re changing the event to a weekend camp with the focus on fun and building club fellowship. We’ll still have a less competitive one-day papio fishing contest.

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.
This event is for club members and their guests only. We’ll celebrate the holidays at the Hawaii Trail & Mountain Club clubhouse with our usual festivities: Potluck dinner, Gift Exchange Melee, Photo, Video and Video Clip Contest and caroling.
