Paddlers turned up at Hanalei Bay last month in support of the final canoe regatta of the season before the Garden Island Canoe Racing Association championships. The event was nearly cancelled, but Kaiola Canoe Club offered to host the regatta so that keiki wouldn’t miss out on one last race. Though the event was last minute, there was no shortage of ono food and beach fun.
