Pacific Paddler, August 2017 - 18

Hui Wa'a @ Waikiki
Waikiki Beach Boys Invitational

Whenever a paddler doesn't have
to paddle at Ke'ehi Lagoon, it's a
good thing. When a regatta is held
at either Hale'iwa, Kailua or Ma'ili
Beach Park, it's an enjoyable day at
the races. When the races are held
at Waikiki, it's like going to a Mardi
Gras. Everyone is out to have fun,
ride waves and win some medals.
Each year, unless the surf is too
big, the Waikiki Beach Boys Canoe
Club holds their invitational regatta.
Just after the sun rises, clubs paddle
their canoes to Waikiki Beach
in front of the Moana and Royal
Hawaiian Hotels. Ten-by-ten tents
go up, clubs congeal and kids head
straight for the water. They will stay

there most of the day, only to get
out to race. Tourists on the beach
get a taste of the island's culture and
witness Hawaii's State Team sport
first hand.
Na Ohana O Na Hui Wa'a (or
just Hui Wa'a) is the association
that runs the regatta. Hui Wa'a's
top priority is safety. Clubs are
instructed to tell their steersmen/
women, to deliberately huli
(capsize) their wa'a (outrigger
canoe) if they think they are going
to collide (bang 'em) with another
canoe. Not too much to worry about
on 7/15/17 as the surf was manini
(small). Only one canoe had to huli.
