Grab a partner, grab your paddle craft, and come help take care of one of the places we love most!
The 2026 Kailua Bay Invasive Species Removal Tournament is happening:
📅 Sunday, October 4, 2026
📍 Kailua Beach Park Boat Ramp
⏰ 7:00 AM Check-In | 8:00 AM Start
🏆 Lunch & Awards following the tournament
This isn’t just a competition — it’s an opportunity for our paddling, fishing and ocean communities to come together and make a real impact on the health of Kailua Bay.
🎣 Target invasive species:
🐟 Ta‘ape
🐟 To‘au
🐟 Roi
Teams of 2 will head out by paddle craft — wa‘a, surfski, kayak, paddleboard or rowboat — and harvest invasive fish by hook & line or spearfishing. Winners are determined by the number of invasive fish removed, not weight.
🏆 Prizes for the top hook-and-line and spearfishing teams
🎁 Giveaways & random prizes
🍽️ Lunch included
✊🏽 And of course… a little jan ken po to finish the day!
💲 $40 per team + ACA insurance fee
⚠️ Registration is limited to 50 teams and there are NO late entries, so get your crew together and sign up early!
Whether you paddle, fish, dive, or simply care about the health of our ocean, this is what community stewardship looks like.
Balance the Bay. Restore the fishery. Perpetuate the culture. 🌊🌺
