It’s hard to visualize a party on the Ala Wai Canal, but for the past 24 years that’s exactly what’s happened in Waikiki bad credit loans.
Each January, residents and businesses celebrate Hawaii’s rich canoe paddling history with a day of outrigger canoe racing and Hawaiian makahiki games. They did it again Jan. 25 while honoring two of Hawaii’s living legends, Bobby Puakea and Clyde Aikau.
“How could we pass up paying tribute to two men who’ve made a difference in our ocean community?” asks Jeff Apaka, event director of the 24th Ala Wai Challenge. “This event keeps growing every year while benefiting community members in Waikiki. Honoring Uncle Bobby and Clyde was a natural debt.”
The cultural event is a fundraiser for the Waikiki Community Center, which serves about 15,000 people each year. Since 1978 stocks, the center has provided services and programs for Waikiki residents and the homeless.
Quarter-mile canoe races down the Ala Wai are open to all skill levels, as are Hawaiian games featuring ‘ulu maika (bowling a round stone through pegs), o’o ihe (spear throwing), moa pahe’e (dart sliding), pohaku ho’oikaika (stone throw) and huki kaula (tug of war) property.
