The Hua Iki Paddling Club

Paddle Around Oahu ‘09 - ‘10

Next Trip on Saturday June 20

This coming Saturday, we’ll be paddling from Heeia State Boat Harbor in Kaneohe out past the Kaneohe Bay Sand Bar (commonly called the “Sunken Island” in the guide books), to Kapapa Island on the outer reef of Kanoehe Bay. We’ll take a bit of a break to explore the Island a bit, or to catch waves beside it if the surf gods should so favor us, then head over to Chinaman’s hat to land, take a short hike to the top for group pics with the spectacular view we get from the top as our background, and then finish up at Kualoa park.

This is a great trip for new paddlers because it’s only 6 miles. If the conditions are mellow we can go outside the reef from Kapapa to Chinamans hat, but if there is a swell that’s creating a lot of breaking waves on the reef, we can stay inside the reef in protected water. There are also a couple of stops along the way to get out and stretch our legs.

So, We’ll be meeting at Heeia state boat harbor at 8:00 AM, the shuttle drivers will leave at 8:20, and we’ll plan on putting in at 9:15 AM with a finish time about 12:30 to 1:30PM.

This is going to a fun, easy paddle with some good surf-spots along the way and a chance to check out one of the few off-shore Islets where you can go on most days and have the island completely to yourself! Also great views of the Koolau range from the fringe reef at Kaneohe Bay, so I’ll be looking forward to seeing you all there on Saturday!!

Hua Iki is a loosely organized group of paddlers whose goal is to enjoy Hawaii’s outstanding ocean environment by paddling around our beautiful Island of Oahu.  All kayakers from beginning to intermediate can handle our paddles without undue stress. We’re not formally organized club with officers but rather a group of paddlers who enjoy relaxed recreational outings together.

Our outings are usually in the 6 to 10 mile distance range, and depending on the weather, are usually short enough for most new paddlers to enjoy. (If you are new to the group try to paddle approximately 75% of the distance you will do on your first club outing.  If you can handle that without being extremely exhausted, you will most likely do fine on the club outing - again depending on the weather)

There are no fees to join or to attend the paddles, just show up with your boat and have fun. There are normally a number of experienced paddlers on every outing who do what they can to keep the inexperienced members with the group and out of areas that might be "over their head" in terms of paddling difficulty.

So, if you’re new to kayaking on Oahu and you’re looking for a way to get out with other paddlers and explore our water wonder-land to find places none of your "land locked" friends will ever visit, just contact us via email and your name will go onto the email notification list and you get our notifications of outings about a week before each event.
