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.
