"Race Reference Points & Happy Mother's Day!"




We hope that these photos, videos, and map help our short course (6 miles) racers who are unfamiliar with these Windward Side reference points locate them a little more easily.
Its the first time our club is entering this race, and traffic is expected to be heavy in and around the roads leading to and from the start and finish areas.
Best bet, have someone drop you off at He'eia Kea Pier at 7:00 AM. Your canoes will be dropped off nlt 7:30 AM. Hands are needed to unload and prepare the canoes for the race.
Thereafter, have your ride park on Waihee Road which is across the street from where the canoes will finish (the Keahiakahoe Paddling Site). They can walk over to see you finish, and this is also where we will load and prepare all of our canoes for the trip back over the Koolaus.
Our shuttle driver made crew, so if you do have to park on Waihee Road yourself, look for the Keahiakahoe Canoe Club shuttle drivers on Waihee Road, or right across the street at their paddling site for a ride to He'eia Kea Pier.
Have a great race! Have a great practice and REC/Na 'Opio Brunch On The Beach/Family Day back at Sand Island.
Most importantly, thank you Moms, we love you all!
