General

A paddler should understand how the club is organized and should be able to function within its framework and abide by its rules and regulations.

The regatta or sprint races begin in May and culminate with the HCRA State Championship Race in August. The long-distance season continues with the Na Pali Challenge here on Kauai, the Queen Lili‘uokalani Race on the Big Island at Kona, and the biggest challenge of the season, the 41.8 miles race from Moloka‘i to O‘ahu. It's truly an experience to remember.

Our club comprises two divisions; the Youth Division comprises girls and boys 10-18 years of age, and the Adult Division includes women and men 19 and up.

Each year we sponsor the Tai Hook regatta at Hanalei Bay. Our three major fundraisers to help defray operating costs, including annual insurance dues and the upkeep of our facility and equipment, are the Haena to Hanalei 8-Mile Run/Walk in June, Hanalei-Tahiti Fete in July, and the Luau at the end of July.

Being a Hanalei Civic Canoe Club member is a beautiful, unique experience. You can make friends, learn to work as a team, and strengthen your minds and bodies. Hopefully, we take all that we know and apply it to our everyday lives. We are truly blessed to be able to paddle our canoes in a place as beautiful as Hanalei Bay!

Queens Jubilee

Mahalo piha, Mo’i o Enelani
Ku’i kou kaulana na ‘aina pau
Na kai ‘akau, na one hema
‘I kea kou ‘ihi mana nui
Eia makou kou kapa ka’i

All hail to thee, great Queen of England
Fair queen who rul’st o’er land and sea
From northern seas to southern shores
Thy sway is known both far and near
We come to thy shores, most gracious lady
On this great day of thy Jubilee
To bring greetings from afar
May heaven bless thee, long mayest thou reign
