Regattas at the Kailua-Kona Pier are back for 2026. They have built a large system underwater to anchor the marks after a lot of expense and permitting. Check our Event Calendar for all the upcoming paddling events.
We will be weighing Waimāpuna Thursday May 14, around 3:30pm in preparation for Saturday’s regatta. Order of events can be found on the Results page: https://www.hcrapaddler.com/hcra_results.php?view=byevent&rid=1237
70’s/65’s go first at 8am and Novices are also in the morning. Please come down and cheer your teammates and all our keiki.
Parking
Honda is letting us use their dirt parking lot and in return paddlers are asked to bring canned food items to contribute to the Food Bank — Non-Perishable Items Only. The entrance is roughly here on this link below but it’s not clear where they will setup:

This parking is for paddlers ONLY. You might be asked your two digit club id #. So if you don’t know what that is, ask someone.
Setup
The pier seems to be getting smaller and smaller. We’re going to have to fight for space again if you want to setup down there. There’s still no tents allowed on the shore and paddlers are supposed to stay in the yellow areas on the map, somehow. You’ll see our normal spot has been removed from the usable area.
