About this event:
The International Hawaiian Canoe Association is proud to announce the Wahine Wa'a Summit fundraiser event taking place at Hawaiian Canoe Club’s Hale on Sunday August 3, 2025. This summit is an opportunity to learn from an unparalleled set of champions. Featuring ten of Hawaii's top female paddlers, you'll gain intimate insight into what it takes to paddle at the highest levels and how you can take those same practices to elevate your skills. Each of these wahine brings a storied athletic career spanning decades of experience and hard-won knowledge. You'll rotate through four one hour sessions led by these amazing athletes!
Whether you're a seasoned paddler or just starting out, this summit is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the spirit of sisterhood and aloha! We are capping this event to 100 participants to ensure everyone gains full value of the knowledge being shared. IMPORTANT: Be sure to read through the agenda and event details.

If you have questions, please contact Denise Darval-Chang at oceanplaygroundshuttle@gmail.com.
Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to come together and celebrate the strength and spirit of paddling! See you on August 3rd!
