They will be donating to our club to help with this activity and those funds will go towards canoe repairs and possible canoe purchases.
We will be giving them an introduction to the culture, history and technique of paddling Hawaiian canoes followed by some time in a double or triple hull and OC1/V1/OC2. See the signup sheet for details.

Fun Run/Walk – April 26
Our big fundraising effort will be with our fun run scheduled for Sunday April 26th. We will be running the whole show this year so we’ll need volunteers for course setup, booths, awards, lots of things to do. Let your runner friends know it’s coming back and we’ll be using the beautiful Scenic Route again! Use our Calendar of Events to sync to your Google Calendar.

WA’A
This year we hope to expand our canoes to accommodate more paddlers. If you know of any newer style six-man canoes for sale, please let us know. Location is not a deal breaker, so keep your eyes and ears open for possibilities. Mahalo!
Keeping Up with Keaukaha
We have a great interactive Calendar of Events where you can click on events, get more info and save them to your calendar. The 2026 MOH (LD and Regatta schedule has been added). Bookmark it!
We also now have an old-school bulletin board in the Hālau for members to use. Announcements, photos, canoes for sale…you know what to do.
We have a few critical meetings coming up for those who want to be involved in official race duties. We need that representation! Saturday, April 4, 2025 – Location not determined, but all coaches and anyone volunteering to officiate must attend.
You can find this and much much more on the Calendar of Events, including the canoe weigh-in day and opening season party.
