LATEST NEWS...

🌺 ʻOKAKOPA | OCTOBER — CARRYING THE MOʻOLELO FORWARD 🌊🛶
October gives us another opportunity to pause, remember, and reflect on the moʻolelo that continue to shape Hawaiʻi and the people who call these pae ʻāina home.
On October 16, 1875, Princess Victoria Kaʻiulani was born in Honolulu. She would become the last heir apparent to the throne of Hawaiʻi — remembered for her love of Hawaiʻi and her determination to stand for her lāhui during a time of profound change.
October 16 also marks the passing of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop in 1884. Pauahi dedicated her life and lands toward the education and future of Hawaiian children, leaving a legacy that continues to serve generations today.
Two aliʻi. Two different paths. One enduring lesson:
Our kuleana is bigger than ourselves.
That same lesson lives within the waʻa.
When we sit together in the canoe, no one paddles alone. Every seat has a purpose. Every stroke matters. We move forward because we move together.
And this October, we have even more reason to celebrate what happens when a group of people commits to that same spirit of kuleana, teamwork, and aloha.
🏆 Kamahaʻo Canoe Club has been named Club of the Year, sharing the honor with two other incredible clubs.
🏆 And our coaches have been named Coaches of the Year for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.
These honors belong to more than a trophy or a title.
They represent the hours on the water.
The early mornings.
The teaching.
The learning.
The corrections.
The encouragement.
The frustration.
The laughter.
The countless strokes taken together.
They represent coaches who continue to give their time, knowledge, and energy to help shape paddlers — and paddlers who continue to show up, learn, and carry that knowledge forward.
That is how a legacy is built.
From kūpuna to keiki.
From coach to paddler.
From one generation to the next.
The waʻa teaches us that our responsibility isn't simply to make it across the finish line.
It is to leave the waʻa, the kai, the ʻāina, and the lāhui stronger for those who come after us.
ʻAʻohe hana nui ke alu ʻia.
No task is too big when done together.
So this October, we celebrate our history.
We celebrate our accomplishments.
And we celebrate the people who make Kamahaʻo what it is.
Congratulations to our paddlers, our coaches, our leaders, our ʻohana, and everyone who has put their hands to the hoe.
Club of the Year.
Coaches of the Year — two years running.
Not because of one person.
Because of all of us.
E hoʻomau i ka hoe.
E mālama i ka waʻa.
E mālama i ka ʻāina.
E mālama kekahi i kekahi.
And most importantly--
carry the moʻolelo forward. 🌺🛶🌊
