Head Coach

Welcome from KCC's Head Coaches: Kathy Erwin, Hank Leandro

Returning paddlers, Welcome Back and Mahalo for your loyalty to Kailua Canoe Club. Newcomers, we hope that you enjoy your time with us. You have found the perfect place to make new friends, to work hard and to have fun.

We are a team that paddles with passion, excellence and a common love for the ocean. We strive to live the values represented by the word “Aloha.” We are Kailua Canoe Club - Pa'a ka waha hana me ka lima. We allow our actions and our paddling to speak louder than our words.

We are lucky to have an outstanding coaching staff at KCC; the most dedicated and passionate coaches you will find anywhere. The coaches are expecting you to start the season in good shape, so get on your one-man, get in the gym, lace up those running shoes, swim or spin, and get ready to create a successful season for yourself, your team and your club. Our Board of Directors, headed by Prez. Derek Kahale, has worked hard over the winter, planning events and tuning up our canoes and equipment to provide you with the best paddling experience possible.

We hope you will keep an eye out for ways you can contribute this season to make Kailua Canoe Club even stronger than we were last year. It takes all of us, many hands, to be successful. I believe that most everything important you need to know about life can be learned while paddling canoes. Come and be a part of it!
