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 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.
Quarterly HWK board meeting for the officers and board to discuss club business. All members are welcome to attend.
Launching and returning a kayak through surf is one of the most intimidating parts of coastal paddling.
