Coaching
Our current coaching staff have been paddling and racing for at least 8 to as many as nearly 50 years.  From earning state championship medals, to being on winning distance crews, to leading the pack during OC-1 season, each coach paddles not only to win, but to perpetuate the love of the sport, instill respect for the wa’a and nurture the value of ‘ohana.
