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.
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.
The Waikiki Roughwater Swim Committee is requesting kayak volunteer help with escorting swimmers in the 2026 42nd Annual Hawaiian Looong Distance Invitational Rough-H2O Swim.
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.
Our club meetings will now be quarterly on the second Wednesday every third month.
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.
Kahana Stream brush clearing party: bring kayaks plus saws, shears, machetes, first-aid kits, etc to the Ahupua‘a o Kahana State Park mauka parking lot
At our last Meet & Greet event for the year we will take a jungle cruise up the Kahana stream. This is an ideal beginner’s paddle in a narrow, gentle stream. We welcome non-members on this paddle. A limited number of loaner kayaks will be available for this special event.
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.
