This site is the official source for the Paddle & Event Schedule for the Hui Wa’a Kaukahi kayak club of Hawai’i. Founded in 1982, we are Hawaii’s oldest recreational kayak club.
Upcoming Events
Because of liability concerns, our paddles are for Hui and ACA members only. Non-members are however welcome to tag along as “guests” but they will be required to read and sign our Hui and ACA waivers, and pay a $10 ACA event membership fee, before they can go. The same is true for club members who are not ACA members. Guests can download the ACA adult waiver.

- Impromptu Crash & Burn Clinic – Pōkaʻī to Mākua
A group of “off-road” RC car enthusiasts commandeered the Pōkaʻī Bay boat ramp forcing us to unload our kayaks in the main parking lot and haul them to the beach. Was this unexpected inconvenience a sign of things to come? - A Windbag Warmup – Waialeʻe to Haleʻiwa
Unlike the previous week where more than half the paddle was either into a strong headwind or starboard-side wind we knew that we’d have a tailwind the entire run so we were confident that this would be a much more enjoyable paddle…and what a joy it was! - Saluting the Sun at Summer Solstice
On some paddles, you go farther than others. Some paddles, maybe you don’t go far at all. It still counts for a few moments on the water. That’s my take, and I’m sticking to it. - Hauʻula to Mālaekahana 2026
Paddle from Hauʻula to Mālaekahana. We got close ups of islets w pukas, walked around then paddled around Goat Island where we got to see a lingering albatross and unidentified sea birds (maybe Ruddy Turnstones.)
