Outrigger Canoe Channel Races

Hoe Wa'a
On September 27th, female crews from around the world will compete in Na Wahine O' Ke Kai - the 41 mile Molokai to O'ahu channel crossing in outrigger canoes.

The following weekend, October 3rd the men compete on the same course known as the Moloka'i Hoe.

I paddled the Molokai Channel - Na Wahine O Ke Kai race with Hawaiian Canoe Club years ago. Once. It was a grueling race as the water was relatively flat and calm. Open ocean paddlers prefer the seas have rolling swells, to surf and assist with forward motion. Six-wo/man outrigger canoe paddling is a wonderful sport. I only wish my time allowed for the demanding commitment.
