About Hui Nalu Canoe Club
Hui Nalu, the “Club of the Waves,”
was founded in 1908 by Duke Kahanamoku, Knute Cottrell, and Ken Winter.
In the early years, the club, based at the Moana Hotel in Waikiki, focused primarily on swimming. Members also enjoyed surfing, canoe paddling, and kanikapila.
Hui Nalu’s mission is to provide educational activities centered on ocean activities for individuals, families, and the community. The summer regatta season involves age groups and open races ranging from 1/4 to 1 1/2 miles. Participants range in age from 10 to 70+.
Hui Nalu Canoe Club also sponsors a pre-season race in Maunalua Bay dedicated to former head coach Kala Kukea and a regular season regatta to honor former coach John D. Kaupiko.
