Aloha! My name is Becki and I am the Kahakai Keiki coach. Keiki in Hawaiian means child. We have a fun and competitive paddling program for boys and girls ages 9-16. In addition to paddling, your keiki will learn Hawaiian traditions surrounding paddling, Hawaiian language, responsibility to the team, care for the equipment and what it is like to race a 500 pound outrigger canoe!
We practice on Monday and Wednesday from 4:00-6:00 at Mother’s Beach on Naples Island. On June 25th our practices will run Monday and Wednesday from 4:30-6:00. All keiki must be able to swim and will perform a treading water test for me if needed. The cost to paddle and race for the season is $100 which includes all race fees and a race jersey. If you want additional information please email me at rsnellen@verizon.net. I will be happy to forward the waivers and any additional information you need
See you on the beach!
