Race Background: Keola O Ke Kai Canoe Club is a small club that deals primarily with youth paddlers so funding to refurbish our Koa canoe, Kawelea is hard to come by. In 2010, we decided to start a preseason race to raise funds to give our Koa canoe an overhaul being that she was made in the 70s. Now that the remodel is complete, we continue to use these funds to maintain our beloved Kawelea.
