Paddling With Kawaikini
The Season has Started! 2012
Kawaikini Canoe Club encourages all men & women to
come join us at the
Paddling Days
-
Competitive Program
Kawaikini meets every Tuesday
and Thursday at 5:30pm for warm-up. Paddlers must
warm-up before getting on the water.
This year Kawaikini will be focused on Regatta Season. Practices
starting February and Regattas from May-August, and then specialty races
from August - September. September - December is our time to enjoy
the paddling experience and work on techniques recognized during the
racing season.

Recreational & Instructional Program
We also meet on Sundays
at 8:30. This is an
instructional day for all members followed by a relaxed paddle for those that are
in the competitive program and for those that are not. Also, this day we meet afterwards at
Olympic
Cafe for Bloody Mary Sunday
and breakfast most weeks.
All paddlers are welcome. Members are
assigned as much as possible into canoes as cruiser or competitive
preference. If you are looking to see if you would like to join us
this is the best day for guests as weekdays are reserved for our race
practice. We welcome people to come for 2 weeks as a guest before
they are encouraged to join Kawaikini Canoe Club.
