March 2025 Newsletter
Hui Nalu Canoe Club is ready to welcome the 2025 paddling season!
Our canoes are getting some much needed attention, and we have purchased two unlimited boats that can be used singly or as a double hull. If rigged as a double-hull it is not to be beyond the #4 pole.
Registration is open and the coaching staff is set. Information about coaches and practice schedules are listed on our website: huinalu.org under “calendar”. Practices officially start on March 31st.
As a reminder, dues are owed at the time of registration. If you have not done so please take care of this. Payment can be made online on our website or by check mailed to Hui Nalu Canoe Club P.O. Box 26342, Honolulu, HI 96825.
