Wa`a Traditions and Paddling

In 2000, she was introduced to Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Racing and has been competing, coaching and promoting Hawaiian traditions ever since.

Learning about the Hawaiian Wa‘a culture and sharing her knowledge with paddlers of all ages and levels is one of her greatest joys.
