The summer of 2026 has been busy one for Kīkaha members.

In what will be remembered as a club milestone, Kīkaha O Ke Kai will celebrate its 30th anniversary this month in Tacoma.

A day on the water is the best day of all.

When you put on one of Kīkaha’s new 30th anniversary T-shirts, you’ll be wearing a piece of history.

For Native Hawaiians in the PNW, the arrival of Hōkūle‘a in 1995 was a reminder of the lives they once lived. That feeling resonated among a small group of Hawaii ex-pats in Federal Way who yearned for home – the founders of Kīkaha.

More than 75 Kīkaha ‘ohana gathered to honor Boy Chun Fook as he received the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. award.

Boy Chun Fook honored for community service, paddling and love for sharing Hawaiian culture.

From teenagers to kupuna who call themselves “queenagers,” Kīkaha will be well represented at the IVF World Sprint Championships next summer in Singapore.
