Elections for our 2026 board members and officers are coming up! Thank you to all our club board members and coaches who have supported our paddlers and Ohana throughout 2025 and consistently volunteered their time to help meet our fundraising goals to support our adult and keiki programs. Come celebrate the year with us at our Na Leo Holiday Party on Nov. 22 and be part of our Thanksgiving Imu fundraiser: Prep and Drop off on Nov. 26, Pick up Day on Nov. 27 (YUM!). See link/QR to order below!

What’s next on the water? As the race season winds up, Na Leo will take multiple crews to Another Dam Race in Parker, AZ on Nov. 15 to race in short course and long course. So excited to have 20+ paddlers participating and happy to support other groups taking on new experiences and racing along with us. Welcome to our new paddlers and novices racing for the first time!

This fall also brought success to our veteran racers in our Na Leo sprint program, Team Phoenix, at U.S. Nationals in V1 and V6. Our open, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s wahine and open kane crews were officially invited to represent the U.S. at the International Va’a Federation Sprint Championships in Singapore in 2026. In addition, many of our individual paddlers will race for the US in V1 and join the US Elite V6 crews. Go Team!
