Shel Braidman Memorial Celebration
About this event
Kihei Canoe Club's Halau Maui Nui O Kama will be celebrating the life of Shel Braidman on Monday, January 5, 2026 at 8:30am. If you would like to join us in honoring Shel, please be at the club by 8:00am and bring a beach chair.
After a ceremony on the beach, canoes will paddle out a short distance from shore to release flowers as Kimokeo presides over the ceremony. Priority in the canoes will be given to family and close friends. If you would like to join the paddle, we will try to accommodate paddlers as space allows. You will need to bring your own paddle and PFD (personal flotation device) in order to paddle out. Guests who are not KCC members are required to sign a waiver before paddling in a KCC canoe.
Please bring loose flowers/petals to spread during the ceremony. After the paddle, everyone is welcome to stay for refreshments and share their favorite memories and stories about Shel.
