    Living Aloha

    The Spirit of Aloha is a way of life.  “Live Aloha” is an expression of a deep sense of belonging to a community and caring for each other. It is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. We aspire to act with courtesy and caring to strengthen the community we value.

    One Team

    Outrigger canoe paddling requires six paddlers in the canoe working in unison, each with a role to play. The club encourages a sense of responsibility through individual and collective actions to improve our community and team.
