Recreational Paddling ProgramKihei Canoe Club is
probably the only outrigger canoe racing club in Hawaii with a significant
percentage of members interested primarily in recreational paddling. Most clubs
focus on seasonal racing. KCC's recreational paddling program welcomes, trains
and supports any Maui full to part time resident, even those who have never put
a paddle in the water. KCC provides scheduled recreational paddling six days a
week, twelve months a year. Participants include adult men and women of all
ages and physical condition. Each participant must be able to swim, be capable
of engaging in moderate exercise and be able to get in and out of the canoe
without assistance. Recreational paddling is a low-impact aerobic exercise.
Paddlers are taught that each person controls the amount of effort applied and
can therefore pace themselves according to individual needs and
desires.
Kihei Canoe Club members may participate in scheduled
recreational paddling on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Please be at
the club between 6:30am - 6:45am. Canoes depart the beach at 7:00am and return
between 8:00am - 8:30am. Depending on conditions and crew mix, typical
recreational paddles will 3 to 8 miles in length.
In addition to the
above days, recreational paddles with members and guests/visitors are
held on Tuesday and Thursday. Plan to be at the club at 7:30am and return
around 9:00am. See the Visitors link for more
information on these days.
Periodically, KCC has recreational paddling
events. These are announced to club members and usually combine paddling with
other activites such as snorkeling or educational opportunites. |
