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.
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.
Quarterly HWK board meeting for the officers and board to discuss club business. All members are welcome to attend. Pizza and salad provided. BYOB. RSVP so we know how much […]
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.
Club members volunteer as safety monitors for the 2.4 mile Waikiki Roughwater Swim. Members will be positioned along the race route to direct or assist swimmers. This event is for club members only.
ACA-certified instruction of basic ocean kayaking skills. Free for all club members, $10 donation for non-members.
An EZ Glider round-trip paddle from the Makai Range Pier to Makapu‘u going around Mānana (Rabbit) Island if conditions allow.
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.
