Guests will also learn about the cultural mission of the Holopuni International Sailing Canoe Association (HISCA) and its dedication to preserving and sharing the traditions of Hawaiian sailing and the spirit of wind and paddle.
Highlights:
• Insights into Polynesian voyaging and traditional navigation
• Preview of the 2025 Holopuni Sailing Canoe Voyage across six Hawaiian Islands
• Cultural exchange and education through HISCA’s mission
• Meet Nick Beck and explore the evolution of the Holopuni canoe
