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.
Vice-President Stan Dalbec has long envisioned completing a round trip paddle from Mokulēʻia to Kaʻena Point. We did it in 2025, but itʻs rare for the wind and surf conditions to line up to make this feasible. We will come up with an alternate paddle if the conditions don’t cooperate.
A medium length cruise past the Ewa plain. Small shore breaks at launch and landing are possible so you need to be comfortable going through the surf.
This round trip EZ Glider paddle is great for beginners to improve their skills in water exposed to small swells. You may also have to dodge wind surfers! Weʻll paddle across Kailua Bay and may stop at Popoiʻa (Flat) Island, a seabird sanctuary, before heading back to Kaimalino.
Join our discussion of past and future club events. We will also honor Gary Budlong, the visionary who started Go Bananas. Kevin Ching will enthrall with a presentation on a North Shore Maui club expedition.
This medium length paddle around Le’ahi (Diamond Head) is a good one for novices looking to improve their open ocean skills. We’ll take a break about halfway at Shangri-La.
We have a full day of kayaking activities for prospective members and their families. The activities begin at 9:00 am with an “Introduction to Kayaking” clinic that will teach paddling strokes, proper PFD fitting, basic safety and on-the-water capsize recovery. At 11:30 we’ll have our traditional kayak Easter egg hunt on the bay. Bring your kids (or borrow some) and create a memory they’ll never forget!
Paddle from the Kualoa campground to Kahana Bay. Route may go inside or outside the reef depending on conditions.
We’ll celebrate Easter a week early this year with a weekend camp filled with activities. We reserved the small group campsite at Kualoa Regional Park so we’ll have lots of room for club members and their guests to pitch a tent.
An EZ Glider round-trip paddle around Coconut Island. Actual course will be set at the time of launch.
A south shore cruise along Kaka’ako and Sand Island. Landing at the beach near the Marine Education Training Center in Ke’ehi Lagoon. This is a great paddle for novices to test out paddling on the open ocean.
