Before practice, after practice - on race days and on rest days. Depending on which resource you check, in the Hawaiian language Hokuloa means Venus or Big Star. The phrase 'Hokuloa Rising' then is a reference to Venus, the morning star seen rising to its place in the heavens.

Hokuloa Outrigger Canoe Club is stoked to have teamed up with Mary Osborne Surf for an epic Teen Surfari adventure activity last week! 🏄‍♀️

Together, we welcomed a wave of bright, young Surfari Dudettes into the world of outrigger canoe paddling. 🌺 These teenage campers got a taste of the paddling life, and we’re pretty sure they’re hooked now. 🤙

A huge shoutout to our volunteers who helped make this event possible. 💪 Your time and effort truly embody the spirit of Hokuloa and our love for the ocean. 🫶

We look forward to providing more opportunities for our local community to experience the sport of outrigger canoe paddling.🌴
