Admission fee is $30, with proceeds being used to support Pu‘uwai Canoe Club adult and youth programs that help and support Pu‘uwai’s mission of encouraging athletic endeavors based on Hawaiian traditions of aloha, ho‘ihi (respect), and ikaika kakauha (athletic strength).
The entry fee qualifies participants to prizes and random drawings.
