Puget Sound Outrigger Canoe Clubs
They have a club in Silverdale (Hui Heihei Wa'a), one in
Everett, and now the South End is planning to start its own club.
On Wednesday, July 24, a group of locals met at the home of
Bill and Sharmayne Chilling to brainstorm about forming a new
canoe club. The first meeting was a success, with lots of
suggestions on how to raise money to purchase one, or maybe two,
of the fiberglass canoes. The excitement was contagious, with
former paddlers reminiscing about the clubs back in Hawai'i.
Interest in paddling is growing rapidly and before too long,
we may be seeing outrigger canoe competitions out on Puget Sound.
Who knows, maybe the Puget Sound clubs will be racing against
former team members back in Hawaii at the annual outrigger canoe
races.
If you would like more information on the South End club, call
either Barry Tam-Hoy (206-952-4887) or the Schillings at
206-874-5875.
For more information on the Silverdale Club, call Moana Huddy
at 360-692-5032.
