Canoeing

Did you know that canoeing is the #1 water sport in Hawaii?? 3,000 paddlers. It is alot of fun to watch and the ages that enjoy the sport vary from kids to seniors, and every age in between. Men and women, girls and boys participate in this fun!

There is a long line of tradition behind paddling. It is a very revered event. The majority of the canoes are fiberglass. They are used in some races but mostly for practice. The koa wood canoes are hand made and so beautiful. The koa wood canoes are used in the Regatta's.

I love being at the races and watching.....being able to be a small part of such a wonderful tradition. I love that my son loves it and is able to participate in such an athletic sport. Each and every day of island living is a wonderful experience.
