Who We Are
We're a community-oriented Hawaiian canoe paddling club located at the Anahola river on the East Side of Kaua'i. Our goal is to strengthen our Anahola community by providing the opportunity to be part of a close-knit crew. Most practice days are conducted on the Anahola river, but we take the canoes into Anahola bay when the conditions are right. Both offer the chance to be an important part of a team and to grow in skill, strength, confidence, and endurance.

Everybody paddle the canoes together; bail and paddle, paddle and bail, and the shore will be reached.
