Nā Koa Kai Canoe Club 

Nā Koa Kai, “Sea Warriors”, Hawaiian words that describe our founding members and their passion for the Hawaiian culture and hoeana waʽa (Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling). This youth only cultural immersion program was founded by Uncle Gus and Auntie Casey in November of 2011.  This Hawaiian outrigger canoe club is a IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to perpetuating the Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture and fostering our youth with a lifestyle of health wellness.
