Registration · Starts October 20, 2026

Join us for the season

Our season generally runs from late October through May. No paddling experience is needed, and your keiki doesn't need to belong to another canoe club. A parent or guardian completes registration and signs the waiver.

Practice Times

Ages 10 to 18 · Starts October 20, 2026 · $100 per season

What's included

The $100 season fee covers practices, coaching from experienced volunteers and use of club canoes when available. Families provide their own paddle and PFD.

Questions from parents

Answers for new families

The things families ask most before their first season. Can't find your question? Reach out, we're happy to help.

What should my child bring to practice?

A paddle, a personal flotation device (PFD), a water bottle or hydration pack and a towel. A change of clothes is optional. Quick-dry clothes, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen help too.

Does my child need to know how to swim?

No, there's no swim test. Newer paddlers who are still building experience must wear a life jacket (PFD) on the water.

Does my child need their own canoe?

No. Club canoes are available, though availability may be limited as our program grows. Families provide their own paddle and PFD. Many experienced paddlers eventually buy their own OC-1, but owning a canoe is never required.

Does my child need experience to join?

No. Most of our paddlers started with no experience, and coaches teach the basics from day one.

What ages can join the club?

Paddlers aged 10 to 18.

Who supervises practices?

Experienced coaches lead every session, with adult volunteers and a first-aid kit on shore.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The safety and well-being of our keiki always come first. If conditions aren't safe, practice moves on land or is cancelled, and families are notified through our team communication app. Some practices may launch from Heʻeia Kea Pier or another approved spot depending on conditions, and families always hear about location changes in advance.
