Na Wahine o Ke Kai
After a long drought, we had our first womens crew paddle in the Na Wahine o Ke Kai 2025 in many years. It was a combined effort with help from Kai ‘Opua who had already made some arraignments but most of their paddlers dropped out, so our women teamed up with them and got 4th in their division and 42 overall. Amazing work in some lively conditions.
Here’s their GPS replay in 200x speed with our heros highlighted.
