The Lōkahi Canoe Club is a vibrant, welcoming community for outrigger canoeists of all skill levels. Located at the beginning of the Ala Wai canal, we offer a range of programs and activities to suit everyone, from beginners just starting out to experienced paddlers looking to hone their skills. Join us for social paddles, competitive racing, and educational workshops, all while enjoying the camaraderie and stunning natural surroundings.
You must be able to swim or otherwise handle yourself in the ocean, like do a survival float.
Before getting into a canoe you need to fill out the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association (HCRA) insurance waiver, upon arrival at the site.
If you are under 18, then you must have a parent or guardian sign the form as well. While there is no upper age limit, you must be at least 9 years old to paddle with us.

Recreational
We encourage you to join with the goal of racing. If you decide you’d rather paddle just for fun and fitness, or if your schedule precludes taking the time required to paddle competitively, then you can join Lōkahi as a recreational paddler.
Visitors are also welcome to join rec paddling.
Dues are $20 per paddle or $40 per month.
Paddles are available to use, we can help you find one that will work for you.
We’ll provide some coaching and guidance for you as a recreational paddler, and expect you to work hard to learn and improve. You will also be able to keep paddling with us during the off-season from November through February.
Note that the minimum age for rec paddling is 12.
