The HWK Papio Fishing Tournament returns where the goal is to catch a big, but not too big fish. We reserved the small group campsite at Kualoa Regional Park for two days of kayak fishing. Don’t want to fish? That’s OK, club members are welcome to pitch their tents next to the fishermen for the weekend.
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.
Club members volunteer as safety escorts for the 7 km (4.33 mi) 40th Annual Hawaiian Looong Distance Invitational Rough-H2O Swim. Swimmer will be assigned to escort several days in advance. […]
This is one paddle where the carpool can take longer than the paddle. We’ll launch from Runway Beach at the end of the Dillingham Airfield, go around the point and land at Keawa‘ula Beach (Yokohama).
This date is being held as a backup for the 10/6 Ka‘ena Point paddle.
Discussion of past and upcoming paddles and club business. Location TBD.
The club brain trust will gather to schedule all club events for next year. All paddle leaders and event coordinators should attend. All club members are welcome to contribute to the planning too.
