"Ministry Spotlight: Paddling"

"I Didn't Make Crew, What Can I Do?"

Thanks for asking.

Actually, quite a bit.

• Stay positive
• Never give up
• Keep coming to practice
• Participate

Opportunities to help-

Friday, August 15, 7:00 AM, Kailua Beach Park (State & City Holiday)

• Meet with Coach Clayton to unload trailered canoes
• Practice makes perfect. Learn how to rig*. Your crew will expect you to know how. The "blend" begins long before the race does

Sunday, August 17, 6:30 AM, Kailua Beach Park

• Cheer on our wahine and kane racers in exciting back-to-back long distance races
• Help carry canoes
• Help carry supplies to escort boats

Sunday, August 17, 1:00 PM, Duke Kahanamoku Beach (fronting the Hilton Hawaiian Village)

• Greet, offer refreshments, help carry supplies from escort boats
• Volunteer to paddle one of our two canoes back to Sand Island
• Wash, cover, and lock canoes
• Wash and dry canoe racing canvasses

If paddling is all you want or care to participate in, the honor and privilege of crossing the Ka'iwi Channel one day will be a hollow experience.

In or out of the canoe, we are all part of ONE TEAM!

In HIS Kanu With U!

*Rigging date/time is at the discretion of the racing crew.
