Whether you paddle, fish, dive, or simply care about the health of our ocean, this is what community stewardship looks like.

🚨 DUKE KAHANAMOKU DISTANCE RACES — DATE CHANGE 🚨

NEW RACE DATES: AUGUST 22 & 23, 2026 🌊🛶

Due to the severe weather conditions forecast across Hawaiʻi from Tropical Storm Lala, the decision has been made to move the Duke Kahanamoku Distance Races to next weekend.

🚺 Women’s Race: Saturday, August 22
🚹 Men’s Race: Sunday, August 23

The National Weather Service is currently forecasting heavy rainfall, strong and gusty winds, possible thunderstorms, flash flooding and hazardous ocean conditions across the islands this weekend. Oʻahu could experience particularly heavy rain and strong winds Saturday into Sunday as Lala passes near the state. (National Weather Service)

The ocean is our playground, but we also have tremendous respect for its power. The safety of our paddlers, coaches, es**rt boat crews, and volunteers will always come first.

Please use this weekend to prepare, stay off the water when conditions are unsafe, secure your canoes and equipment, and take care of one another.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back for a safe and exciting weekend of racing on Saturday August, 22 & Sunday August, 23.

Stay safe and we’ll see you on the water next weekend! 🤙🏽🛶🌊
