Hui Paoakalani Goes Sailing! and No Paddling over the Holiday Weekend

We had an AWESOME day at the lake this past Saturday. The guys put together a mast and used a windsurfer sail to get our wa'a sailing on the Great Salt Lake! It was quite a sight!!!
Watch out...they may be sailing to Antelope Island or beyond soon... oh...that is as they kick back and enjoy the sights while eating their Hui Shave Ice! :)

Just a Reminder...
No Paddling over the Holiday Weekend.

Enjoy the fireworks and we'll see you on the lake July 10th.

Mahalo!!!

Aloha!

Hui Paoakalani would like to thank each and everyone of you who came out to support the 2nd Annual Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Great Salt Lake Waterfest. There were many smiles and a wonderful time was enjoyed by all who came out to the lake.

Hui Members, family and friends willingly gave many, many hours of man-power to help set-up, clean-up, prepare/sell poke and shave ice, rig canoes, and help our keiki and members of the public experience Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling on the Great Salt Lake.

Mahalo again to the following Hui Members who always willingly give of their time to help the Hui experience continued success: Ben, Kwan Ki, Shauna, Kumu Butch, Becki, Lama, Angie, Larry, Pat, Tyler, Gene, Mike, Uncle Al, Auntie Marcia, Darren, Tammy, and those family members and friends of our Hui Board Members who also helped out on Saturday.

Mahalo nui loa! We sure do appreciate you!!!
