Welcome to the 2026 Paddle Season and Our Kailua Canoe Club ‘Ohana!

Aloha and welcome to the Kailua Canoe Club ‘Ohana,

My name is Alex Langford, and it is a true honor to serve as the incoming President of the Kailua Canoe Club. I step into this role with deep gratitude for the leaders who came before me and a strong commitment to the mission and values that have guided this club for over five decades.

Kailua Canoe Club is more than a paddling organization. It is a place where generations connect through the ocean, where community is built, and where the values of Aloha are lived both on and off the water. Whether you are new to our ‘ohana or a longtime member, you are an essential part of what makes this club special.

As we move forward, our mission remains clear: to perpetuate the sport of outrigger canoe paddling while fostering a sense of family, community, and connection to the ocean. We are guided by the values of Aloha – Akahai (kindness), Lōkahi (unity), ‘Olu‘olu (agreeableness), Ha‘aha‘a (humility), and Ahonui (patience). These values shape how we paddle, lead, and show up for one another as a community. 

Mahalo to our coaches, board members, volunteers, paddlers, and families for the heart you bring to this club. I look forward to the season ahead and serving our ‘ohana together.
