So many islands, so little time!

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.
Paddle from the Kualoa campground to Kahana Bay. Route may go inside or outside the reef depending on conditions.
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!
Our club meetings will now be quarterly on the second Wednesday every third month.
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.
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.
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. Join us on Stanʻs Quest and paddle to Ka’ena Point without the arduous carpool.
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.
Practice launching and landing Scupper Pro’s (or equivalent) touring kayaks in surf conditions. Learn to implement safe procedures, observe conditions early, and practice various techniques.
A leisurely paddle along the leeward coast. We often see spinner dolphins on this paddle. Small kine surf at launch. Sheltered bay landing.
