PHOTO: WAYNE LEVIN “The Queen Lili’uokalani Long Distance Race really began in our kitchen. Louis [Kahanamoku] and I were talking about outrigger canoe racing, and he said ‘We really need a race to get us prepared for the Moloka’i Channel Race.’ We talked about the course, the divisions and the general aspects of organization – and prepared a proposal. Louis then spoke about this new race to the Kai ‘Opua Board of Directors. The Board, composed of Uncle Robert Greenwell, Dr. Mar, John DeGuair, Walter Perreria, Dick Dennison, Uncle Donna Kualii and Uncle Red Kanuha, agreed to the proposal that Louis presented, and they were all a big help in getting the race started.” — Mary Jane Kahanamoku The best long distance paddlers are here on Kona’s starting line.

For many years race organizers wanted to expand the schedule and add a third day of racing for paddlers traveling to Kona from near and far for the long holiday weekend. While adding a 45+ mile race to Kawaihae would accommodate canoe transports, the idea was scrubbed since it proved too far after a full weekend of long distance racing. Ali‘i Challenge was conceived as a team event to wrap competitive ocean abilities around adventurous land challenges and inform crews on Hawaiian culture and local history. Historic Kailua Village holds significant treasures that often go unnoticed as people walk on by. Ali‘i Challenge, now in its seventh year, weaves in history with clever clues that challenge participants in fun games, rarely repeating tasks from year to year. The annual theme is always top secret; previous themes have included navigation, sustainability and Hawaiian monarchs. IMPORTANT TIPS: s Consider current events in Polynesian culture s Take Thursday’s Historic Kailua Village Cultural Walk lead by noted PHOTOS: CHARLAPHOTOGRAPHY.COM historian Hannah Kihalani Springer s Study the Herb Kane paintings found in the headquarters hotel lobby s Create a crew flag Most importantly, have fun! Keys to success in this competitive race are paddling, reasoning and working together. Mixed crews can sign up for Monday’s Ali‘i Challenge at Registration through Friday.

Located at 74-5450 Makala Blvd. at the Gateway to Historic Kailua Village www.konacommons.com KONA’S RACING HERITAGE Not much is written about Hawaiian canoe racing prior to the early 1900s. We do know the first recorded regatta is thought to be in 1859 when races were held in honor of the first birthday of Hawai‘i’s crown prince. Nearly 50 years later, racing – – patron Prince Kuhio sent a Kona team and a storied canoe, claimed to be the most perfectly built and fastest in all Hawai‘i, to race in Honolulu. That Kona canoe and crew beat all comers in 1907, ‘08, and ‘10. The Kona crew did not make it to the ’09 race. – Kai ‘Opua Canoe Club first organized in 1929 with 20 men and 12 women, practicing then, as now, in Kailua Bay. Club leadership included Lind Childs, Judge Stillman, Uncle Keoni Mano and Red Kanuha to name a few. – – It 1933, a regatta in South Kona’s Napo‘opo‘o solely devoted to canoe racing was organized by legendary watermen Duke Kahanamoku, Charles Amalu, Dad Center, John D. Kaupiko Sr., David Kahanamoku, Commander Bailey USCG, Paul Fagan, George I‘i Brown, Dr. Albert Wall and Lorrin Thurston. Clubs competing in this first all-canoe regatta were Outrigger Canoe Club, Miloli‘i, Hui Nalu, Queen’s Surfers, – – – Honaunau, Ho‘okena, Hilo and Kai ‘Opua. The following year, Kai ‘Opua won its first – – major statewide regatta in Napo‘opo‘o beating the Big Island clubs as well as the O‘ahu clubs that had come over for the race. – Kai ‘Opua ceased operations during the 1940s with the commencement of WWII, but regrouped in time for the 1952 Territorial Championships (Julian R. Yates Canoe Championships), here in Kailua Bay, Kona. Clubs racing that day were Healani, – – Honaunau Canoe Club, Hui Kailia, Hui Nalu, Kai ‘Opua Canoe Club, Ko‘olaupoko Canoe Club, Ma‘alaea Boat & Fishing Club, Outrigger Canoe Club and Waiki–ki– Surf Club. In the early 1970s the idea of designing a race to train paddlers for the demands of the Na Wahine O Ke Kai (Women) and the Moloka‘i Hoe (Men) long distance races from Moloka‘i to O‘ahu took shape. Since those early beginnings, the Queen Liliu‘okalani Outrigger Canoe Races have grown tremendously, now hosting over 2,500 paddlers from all over the world for five days of canoe racing every Labor Day Weekend. – KAI ‘OPUA CANOE CLUB | 1929 | AMERICAN FACTORS LUMBER YARD, KAMAKAHONU BAY Among those pictured are: H.
