WelcomeKihei Canoe Club was established in 1973 by
Moki Kalanikau, Ben
Abierra, and George Ferreiera and is one of the 4 oldest canoe clubs on Maui.
Our first coach was Dutchy Kino who led us to county titles in 1976, 1978 and
1979. Dutchy's innovations and contributions to outrigger canoe paddling made
him legendary in the sport.
Expanding from those early days, we now have
over 20 canoes, over 300 members and several coaches. We continue to be one of
the most innovative clubs in Hawaii. We have strong programs for Na Opio
(youth), racers and recreational paddlers - all steeped in Hawaiian tradition
and culture. We offer many educational opportunities including - stroke
technique in our training tank and on the water, classes for ho`okele
(steersman) and strokers, paddle making, Hawaiian navigation techniques and
much more.
