Congratulations - It was a pleasure to take part in your inaugural race!

Our blessing for the 2026 season will be next Sunday, April 19th. Gather at 7am to start making lei and mālama our club site, after which Kahu Lahela will help us bless all the paddlers of Honolulu Pearl and Imi Ola, the wa’a that carry us throughout the year, and Honaunau 💛❤️🖤
We will (of course) have a potluck afterwards!

Wear the legacy 😍 These beautiful shirts designed alongside our 2026 racing jerseys feature our beloved koa waʻa Honaunau. A one time limited run will be available to purchase along with your ticket for Honolulu Pearl’s 50th anniversary celebration on April 24th - Golden Huli Night!

We look forward to seeing club members of past and present, and all friends of HPCC join in celebration of love for paddling and culture

Tickets are still available at the link in our bio!

Our first preseason race of the year! Malama Maoliola was a success, with our double hull crew taking 2nd place 🥳 Mahalo to all of our paddlers who showed up and showed out in honor of our sister Alyssa who wanted to be here today ❤️ We look forward to seeing her recover soon and get back on the water!

Our dear friend, and solid person and paddler Alyssa, was seriously injured in a hit-and-run while riding her motorcycle in Mākaha on March 30.

Anyone who knows her understands how much she gives—whether showing up for homeless outreach, supporting her canoe club ‘ohana, or giving back to the Native Hawaiian community.

We are raising funds to support Alyssa’s recovery and help cover essential, day-to-day expenses that arise during this time.

These contributions will help Alyssa and her family manage the immediate, real-life impacts of recovery.

All funds raised here will pay for any expenses not covered by insurance or potential legal damages.

This years crossing marked the 50th anniversary of the first wahine crews to make their journey across the Kaiwi Channel, and after more than a decade away, Honolulu Pearl returned to the Kaiwi Channel for the 2025 Nā Wāhine O Ke Kai!

Our participation wasn’t just about the miles — it was about dedication, community, abundance, health, and perseverance: a chance to celebrate and honor the women who paved the way and made it possible.
 
Huge mahalo to our Head Coach, coaches, ʻohana, and every wāhine who paddled before us — we carried your strength, support, and lessons with every stroke.
 
Thank you to for all your hard work and dedication — we’re grateful for everything you’ve done to make this possible
 
We are greatly appreciative of the Molokaʻi community that welcomed us with aloha, set us on the right foot, and made it happen.  
 
Here’s to the ocean, the journey, and the sisterhood: Nā Wāhine O Ke Kai, see you next year.

Mahalo nui for letting us join in on the fun of double haul racing! 🤙
Big thanks to for capturing these great moments🙏

This weekend, Honolulu Pearl Canoe Club had an incredible experience at the Queen Liliʻuokalani Canoe Race. The event was filled with hard work, teamwork, and dedication from every paddler and supporter. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a beautiful and meaningful race, surrounded by the spirit of aloha and the stunning waters of Kona. Mahalo to everyone who gave their all and made this weekend one to remember.


Mahalo Nui 🤙
