Hawai`i Island Paddlesports Association (H.I.P.A.) is the solo and duo
Paddlesports Association for the Island of Hawai`i. This includes solo
and duo outrigger canoes (OC-1 / OC-2), Solo and Duo Surfski/Kayaks and
paddleboards. Our season runs January thru May with 10 regular season
races and a championship race as well as various off-season and pre-season
events.
2008 will be our 10th season after breaking off from Kanaka
I Kai Ka (the O`ahu association). We have over 200 active members
from all adult age groups and a growing youth program. H.I.P.A. in partnership
with the State Department of Land and Natural Resources completed a
first-of-its-kind dedicated OC-1 storage facility at Honokohau harbor
along with a Halau where we can have post-race lunches and from where
we run some of our West-Hawai`i events.
For more information on H.I.P.A. OC-1 Storage facility and Halau
at Honokohau Harbor in Kona call Sue LaLanne at Polynesian Paddling Products
