Keauhou Canoe Club is located at Keauhou Bay, whose name means "a new beginning". The club was founded in 1980 as Kauikeaouli Canoe Club, named for the birthname of Kamehameha III who was born on the site.

The bay has long been used as a site for sport and recreation, from the mile long holua leading down to the bay to the big water surf break off the cliffs to the north of the bay.


MISSION STATEMENT    The mission of the Keauhou Canoe Club is to educate our youth, our membership, and the community at large about Hawaiian culture, values, and traditions and to promote competitive and recreational outrigger canoe paddling and other water sports in historic Keauhou Bay.    Adopted by the Keauhou Canoe Board, October 2009


Recreational Program   KCC has the strongest recreational program in the State of Hawai'i whose members enjoy non-competitive paddling several times a week. They also enthusiastically volunteer their support for diverse local community causes including Ironman, Ultraman, GEMS, as well as for KCC sponsored races and other club activities.

Recreational Paddling Schedule: Tuesdays,Thursdays & Saturdays @ 6:30am and occasionally if steersman and crew  available @8:00AM, as first groups return.

Strap rigging:

Here is a video Jane found for showing how to quick-rig a canoe using the ratchet straps through the gunnels.We have 4 sets, held by Cheryl, and used them last year at the Kawaiihae long distance race.  We use them sparingly as we want to make sure folks do not forget how to properly rig.  We still prefer cord when time allows canoe to be rigged that way even for the long distance races. Click here for video location
