Kaua‘i Hoe Wa‘a championships this Sunday
The Kaua‘i Hoe Wa‘a 2004 Kaua‘i Island Championships will take place this Sunday, Apr. 18 as throngs of paddlers in both one-man and two-man canoes and surf ski will race along 20-plus miles of Kaua‘i shoreline for the 2004 title.
Spectators are invited to watch the excitement between the starting points and finish line at the Port Allen Fishing Club.
Because of the length of the race, registration will begin at 9 a.m. at Kalapaki Bay behind JJ’s Broiler for the long course which will run from Kalapaki Bay to the Port Allen Fishing Club starting at 10 a.m.
The short course will begin at the Waiohai in Po‘ipu and paddlers will race to the Port Allen Fishing Club finish line. Start time for the short course is 11 a.m.
The event is being sponsored by Starbucks.
