A challenging paddle around the northern tip of O‘ahu. Can be windy and rough with open ocean swells. Cruise past the James Campbell Wildlife Refuge, Turtle Bay and Kawela Bay.
Our club meetings will now be quarterly on the second Wednesday every third month.
ROUTE CHANGE! Live fire exercises prohibit going around Mokapu Point. The paddle has been switched to Tracks to Pokai Bay.
We’ll celebrate the summer solstice with a roundtrip EZ Glider paddle from Haleʻiwa Beach Park. Our route will be determined by the conditions that day. After the paddle we’ll enjoy a potluck BBQ picnic dinner as we await an awesome sunset to end the longest day of the year.
This medium length paddle can be challenging because of potential large trade swells. If conditions allow you can get up close to several islets between Lai‘e Point and Mālaekahana.
We play tourist today with a fun cruise across world famous Waikiki Beach. Bring your snorkels as we hope to stop at Turtle Canyon to find out why all the tour boats stop there. On our return leg, we’ll pull up on the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and have lunch at the beachfront Mai Tai Bar.
This fun paddle take you past Haleʻiwa, Waialua and Mokuleia normally with a good tailwind to push you down the coast. This is a good run for sailing or kite flying.
A leisurely paddle along the leeward coast. We often see spinner dolphins on this paddle. Small kine surf at launch. Sheltered bay landing.
Launching and returning a kayak through surf is one of the most intimidating parts of coastal paddling. Waves, timing, and shallow water can quickly turn a routine paddle into a “Crash & Burn” capsize if approached incorrectly. With the right preparation and technique, however, surf zones can be managed safely and confidently.
Quarterly HWK board meeting for the officers and board to discuss club business. All members are welcome to attend.
A nice cruise across Waimanalo Bay and Lanikai Beach with a stop at Moku Nui. This is a great paddle for beginners to stretch out your paddling distance as it’s all inside the reef and you can stay comfortably close to shore the whole way.
