The outrigger of a canoe is called an Ama in ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian Language). It was a nautical innovation that allowed the Polynesians to efficiently navigate the rough waters of the Pacific. The Ama is also the port hull of a double-hulled canoe, which is the vehicle that brought the Hawaiians to these beautiful islands.

This Club is far more than a collection of buildings at the foot of Diamond Head or a calendar filled with events and competitions. It is a living community, shaped every day by the people who show up—with aloha, respect, and a shared love of the ocean and one another. It is sustained by volunteers who give their time generously, by athletes who compete with pride and
culture. The simple gestures—welcoming a new member, sharing a story, offering encouragement on the water or a smile on the lanai—are what keep the spirit of OCC alive. That responsibility belongs to all of us, and you have carried it with care. As I close this message, I do so with immense gratitude and confidence in the future of the Outrigger Canoe Club. There is no one better suited than our next President, Chris Laird, for what is on the horizon. We will be undertaking a major electrical upgrade, which we will use as an opportunity to make necessary updates to other parts of the campus. He has been deeply involved in those projects since their infancy. I am looking forward to following his lead. This institution is strong because its people are strong. It endures because its values endure. I also want to thank my family, Jessie and Holden, whose support and understanding permits me to be so involved in a place that means so much to us. Also, please excuse my son if he continues to say, “My dad’s the president,” for the next few months as he learns about “term limits” and adjusts to no longer being a part of the “first family.” Mahalo nui loa for your trust, your participation, and your aloha. It has been my privilege to serve you.

Serving as President has been an honor I will always carry with me. I am often asked “how has it been,” usually with a wry smirk. Every time, I respond the same: I have been surrounded by such talented, intelligent, and caring people on our Board of Directors and with the Club’s management team that it has been a joy. I have been inspired by the commitment of our committees, the professionalism and heart of our staff, and the thoughtful engagement of our membership.

I Ka Pō Me Ke Ao
As we begin 2026, I wanted to share an important update about a major project that has been quietly in the works for more than two years. Most members don’t see it, but the core of our electrical system is located in the basement in a space that could be vulnerable to flooding. With the system aging and
Projects like this don’t happen without a lot of dedication and leadership. I want to acknowledge Jeff Dinsmore, Chair of the Finance Committee, for his work ensuring we’re planning responsibly for our current and future capital needs. I also want to thank Dana Bergeman, our new Chair of Buildings & Grounds Committee, for his incredible attention to detail and commitment to getting this plan right. I also want to thank the entire Buildings & Grounds Committee for their countless hours making sure every detail is accounted for. And of course, my sincere appreciation goes to our Board of Directors for their forward-thinking leadership and commitment to investing in OCC’s long-term success. A building built in the 1960s naturally needs major updates from time to time, and while I know this will bring some short-term inconvenience, this is important work that will keep our Club strong for generations to come. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, and I truly appreciate your patience, support, and trust as we move through this important work together. I would also like to take a moment to introduce you to Ben Chapman, the Club’s new Facilities Director and Project Manager. Ben joined our ‘ohana in September 2025 and has already made a noticeable impact on our day-to-day operations. He will play a major role in overseeing the electrical modernization project, along with many of our other essential facilities initiatives. When you see Ben around the Club, please take a moment to say hello and welcome him to the OCC family.
approaching the end of its useful life, a full upgrade is necessary to protect the Club for the future. For the last couple of years, members of the Board of Directors, our Buildings & Grounds Committee, and the Operations Team have been working behind the scenes to put together a thoughtful plan to modernize this critical infrastructure. That work officially begins this month. Most of the project will happen out of sight, but it all builds toward a major moment in September 2026 when the Club will need to be closed for a couple of days to transition to the new system. Knowing the Club will need to close for a short stretch in September, we are taking advantage of that downtime to complete two additional projects essential to the long-term safety and success of the Club: replacing the entire kitchen floor and upgrading the fire alarm system. The fire alarm upgrade will modernize the entire system, bring it up to current standards, and significantly enhance the safety of our campus for years to come. The kitchen floor replacement is a major undertaking and will require that the main kitchen serving the Koa Lanai, Hau Terrace, and Ka Mo‘i Boathouse to be closed for the entire month of September. It’s important to note that the fitness centers, locker rooms, Snack Shop, Ka Mo‘i Boathouse, and all other operations will remain fully operational, aside from the few days when the entire Club must shut down to safely complete the transition from our old electrical switchgear to the new one. We are also in the planning stages of creating additional food and beverage offerings throughout the Club during September, and we will share more information as those plans are finalized. As part of the overall plan, we’ve also contracted with lighting design specialist Robert Billingsley to help us modernize the Club’s lighting. By the time this project wraps up, every light at OCC will be updated, giving us a safer, more efficient, and noticeably enhanced environment that is also less expensive to operate.

Top 5 Things to Do for Your Health in the New Year CLUB HAPPENINGS, CELEBRATIONS & EVENTS LOBBY The By Blair Grant, Nurse Practitioner & Functional Medicine Provider
1. Hydrate Like You Mean It Water is the simplest performance enhancer there is. Every cell in your body, especially your muscles, joints, and brain, relies on hydration to func- tion well. Remember, if you’re paddling or active outdoors, you’re losing more water (and sodium) than you think! Start Simple: Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Upgrade: Add a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon to your morning water to support energy and focus. Pro Tip: If you’re often tired mid-af- ternoon, check your hydration before reaching for caffeine. Dehydration is a sneaky imposter for fatigue! 2. Eat Real Food (Most of the Time) Nutrition doesn’t have to be compli- cated. Focus on foods that look close to how they were grown – colorful vegeta- bles, lean proteins, healthy fats, and quality carbs. These foods fuel energy, recovery, and hormone balance. Start Simple: Swap processed snacks for whole-food options. An apple and nuts instead of a granola bar, or eggs instead of cereal. Upgrade: Build your meals around protein and plants. Your body will thank you with steadier energy and better muscle recovery. Pro Tip: Try the “three-color rule” – aim for three different colors on your plate at every meal.
3. Move Daily (and Don’t Overthink It)
5. Connect and Breathe Community and connection are pow- erful medicine. Laughter, nature, and good company lower stress hormones, boost immunity, and extend life expectancy. And never underestimate the power of a few deep breaths – they instantly shift your body from stress mode to calm focus. Start Simple: Make time each week for intentional human connection with someone who lifts you up. For a double dose of grounding, take it outdoors – connection in nature is one of the most powerful stress resets we have. Upgrade: Each day, jot down a few things you’re grateful for. When some- one comes to mind, reach out and tell them. Stay curious about what truly fills your soul and replenishes your energy – then do more of that, unapolo- getically. Pro Tip: Health isn’t just about your physical body. To truly thrive in the years ahead, nourish your mind, heart, and soul. This is called “healthy self- ishness.” Health doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Start small, stay consistent, and celebrate the wins along the way! Your body has an incredible ability to heal, strengthen, and adapt—it just needs the right environment. Here’s to a new year of strong strokes, clear minds, and energized hearts on and off the water!
Movement is medicine for your body, brain, and mood. It doesn’t have to be a race or a marathon; consistency beats intensity every time. Start Simple: Get outside and move for 20–30 minutes a day; walk, stretch, paddle, dance, or play. Upgrade: Add two sessions a week that challenge your muscles, like resis- tance training or bodyweight work- outs. Strong muscles protect bones, improve balance, and boost longevity. Pro Tip: The best workout is the one you enjoy enough to keep doing! 4. Prioritize Rest and Recovery You can’t pour from an empty cup, and most of us are running on less sleep than our bodies need. Sleep is when the body repairs, the brain resets, and hormones rebalance. Start Simple: Aim for 7–9 hours a night. Turn off screens 30 minutes before bed. Upgrade: Create an evening wind- down ritual, stretch, cuddle, or step outside for a few quiet minutes before bed. Pro Tip: Schedule in “Be Time.” This is a small, intentional pause in your day where you stop doing… and start just being. It’s not about fixing, producing, or multitasking. It’s about clearing cognitive clutter and creat- ing space for your brain and body to exhale.

Expanding Horizons: Outrigger Canoe Club’s Reciprocal Membership Perks By Joe Bock
➳
MEMBERSHIP AT OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUB has al- ways carried responsibility, privilege and prestige—we are a community rooted in the traditions of Hawaiian water sports and island
camaraderie.

For years, OCC members have enjoyed access to an array of partner clubs, including member favorites like Jonathan Club, Balboa Bay Club, New York Athletic Club, and Tokyo American Club. In recent years we have been focused on adding clubs that meet Club standards and members’ interests. California Surf Club recently joined our reciprocal program as its newest addition. Nestled along the Pacific coast in Redondo Beach, the California Surf Club celebrates California’s storied surf culture. Its clubhouse blends retro beach charm with modern amenities, while its members embody a shared love for the ocean and coastal living. Visiting OCC members can find a natural kinship here, where surf sessions are often followed by casual seaside gatherings and a shared appreciation for ocean stewardship. In even more exciting news, OCC also recently joined the International Association of Clubs (IAC), instantly broadening its reciprocal roster by nearly 300 destinations around the globe. Through this partnership, members can now step into some of the most celebrated private clubs worldwide—ranging from Hong Kong’s prestigious Dynasty Club and Singapore’s sleek Tower Club, to the historic Tanglin Club and the members-only China Club with its iconic skyline views. In Europe, options include the refined Circolo della Caccia in Rome and the cultural haven of Cercle de l’Union Interalliée in Paris. For those who enjoy travel with a touch of exclusivity, the IAC network opens doors to experiences that balance cultural immersion with the warmth of a private club welcome. Whether enjoying sunset cocktails in Waikīkī, paddling out with friends in Santa Monica, or stepping into the grand salons of Paris, our members carry not only their OCC membership, but a passport to global connection.

PADDLING FORWARD
2025 WAS A DEFINING YEAR for paddling power couple and Outrigger Canoe Club members Pat and Angie Dolan, with both reaching milestones they had been chasing for years. In May, Pat achieved a longtime personal goal by winning the Moloka‘i Challenge on the surfski in a record-breaking 3 hours, 9 min- utes, and 44 seconds. Just three months later, Angie reached her own long-held dream, helping Tahiti’s Ihilani Vaia make history by becoming the first Tahitian crew ever to win the prestigious Na Wahine O Ke Kai. Angie and Ihilani Vaia lined up for the Na Wahine race with a blend of Tahitian and Hawai‘i paddlers, including OCC member and Hawai‘i Waterman Hall of Famer Don- na Kahakui—a mix that reflected genuine friendships and shared respect built across clubs and islands. Although Angie had raced with several members of the crew before in events like the Hawaiki Nui in French Poly- nesia and the Aloha Aito here in Hawai‘i, she says they had only one true practice together before race day.

PADDLING FORWARD: PAT AND ANGIE DOLAN REACH THEIR BIGGEST WINS TOGETHER
Domie Gose stands alongside Kahu Kordell Kekoa at this year’s canoe blessing. “I credit a large part of my paddling and my love for the sport to Outrigger’s program. We’re very content with where we’re at today, but I feel like we were given this gift of knowledge that we want to pass on.” — Angie Dolan
“It felt really good, but there was so much unknown—seating, what the conditions were going to be, so we were hoping for top eight or top five going into it,” she recalls. “To be able to cross the line first and have that race go the way it did was really unexpected…but it was such an amazing experience to be a part of.” Angie’s connection to the Tahitian team began in October 2022, when OCC sent a crew to compete in the Hawaiki Nui. That’s where she first connected with Ihilani Vaia and formed the bonds that kept them in touch—eventually racing together in mul- tiple events. This year, after the team won tickets to compete in Na Wahine O Ke Kai, Angie and a few other paddlers were invited to join their boat. “We were just super stoked to be able to jump in and race with them and learn from them,” Angie says. “It was just a meant-to- be story.” Ihilani Vaia ultimately edged out the five- time defending champion Team Bradley by just 45 seconds—a margin that carried even more weight for Angie. During the Na Wahine O Ke Kai race in 2018, she faced a similar late-race push from Team Bradley. She still remembers the moment the two canoes converged off the Club at Diamond Head, and the memory resurfaced in the final miles of the 2025 race as the gap began to tighten once again. “We knew it was going to be close,” Angie recalls. She felt the familiar instinct to panic, wondering if history was about to repeat itself. But this time, she says, the dynamic of the crew changed everything. “It just feels like it was meant to happen with that team and in that way.” Just a few weeks later, Pat was on the starting line of the Moloka‘i Hoe as a guest paddler with Rurutu Hoe, ultimately helping the team secure a fourth-place finish. With Tahitian crews sweeping the top four spots, the race highlighted the exceptional level of competition Pat had been invited into. But the defining moment of his year had come earlier in the summer, when he won the Moloka‘i Challenge on the surfski, setting a new event record—a victory he had been pursuing for years. For Pat and Angie, these were milestones they had hoped to achieve before starting a family. Raising a 4- and 6-year-old, navigat-
ing the challenges of COVID-19, and balancing family life with training and pursuing their passions was no small feat—but it’s one that has made these accomplishments even sweeter. “I think being able to accomplish it and have them watch was a really big piece for us to make it worthwhile—and hopefully be something we can give them as a lesson about never giving up,” Angie says. “We set goals, we work hard at them, and let’s see what happens,” Pat adds. “That’s the goal for our kids—to find passions in their lives that they can enjoy and work towards.” Amid the demands of parenting, training, and
For the Dolans, time on the water is more than a fun family tradition—it’s a way to teach their kids how to set goals and stay the course.
striving toward their goals, the partnership between Pat and Angie became the anchor that held everything together. “You really need a partner who understands the sport,” Angie says. “We both had our individual goals and knew what it meant.” When motivation dipped or doubts crept in, each one knew how much the other wanted to reach what they’d been striving for—and that understanding kept them moving forward. In fact, winning the Na Wahine O Ke Kai was a goal Angie had been chasing for 20 years. A member of OCC since she was 14, she joined the Club to paddle. During her summers as a teen, she remembers being dropped off at 8 a.m. and picked up at 4 p.m. It was an oppor- tunity to spend the entire day immersed in the ocean, discovering new experiences, and learning from mentors at the Club. “Growing up here, there were so many opportunities and so many great waterwomen and watermen. They’re the ones who taught me to paddle, to surf, and to understand the ocean,” Angie reflects. “I credit a large part of my paddling and my love for the sport to Out-
rigger’s program. We’re very content with where we’re at today, but I feel like we were given this gift of knowledge that we want to pass on,” Angie says. As a way to pay forward the support he and Angie have received throughout their careers, Pat has begun meeting a small group of young paddlers before dawn for training sessions—sharing the les- sons he’s learned over decades on the water. He also has his sights set on continuing his own races in OC1 and surfski. This past November, he competed in the Shaw and Partners Western Australia Race Week, earning a seventh-place finish in The Doctor, the festival’s signature 27-kilometer downwind race. Pat and Angie’s 2025 season tells a story not only of elite athlet- icism, but of perseverance and partnership—creating meaningful moments for their young family to witness. Side by side, they’ve achieved the goals they long chased and are now quietly helping others discover what’s possible on the water.

Danny Alvarez Takes the Helm: UH BeachBows Gear Up for Season Ahead
2012 to 2019 and again in 2023. “I’m a big University of Hawai‘i fan– football, basketball, baseball, women’s in- door volleyball... so the idea that I get to be the coach at the University of Hawai‘i, it’s crazy. It’s really amazing that this happened for me.” In addition to his time at UH, Alva- rez has shaped countless young athletes through his work at Outrigger Canoe Club, coaching both indoor and beach volleyball and ultimately taking on a leadership role in the Club’s volleyball program. He is now in his third year as Girls Beach Volleyball Club Director. Alvarez also spent time coaching AVP champion and OCC member Trevor Crabb, helping him and partner Theo Brun- ner as they competed for a spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics. For Alvarez, coaching is all about the athletes themselves–helping them grow, improve, and reach their potential. It’s that same passion that drove his work at OCC and with professional players. “The ath- letes at the University of Hawai‘i are tops in the world in a lot of cases, so being able to train with them has been one of my favorite parts,” he says. “To see them have success, gain confidence, and win or compete at a high level–it’s just really rewarding.” With the fall training season wrapped, Alvarez and the BeachBows have spent the
past few months building chemistry, gaining valuable experience, and testing themselves against top programs like USC, UCLA, and Florida State. Now, as the team looks toward the start of the regular season in February, Alvarez is channeling that momentum into gearing up for a strong opening stretch. Alvarez describes his coaching style as in- tentionally “old-school,” built on repetition, skill mastery, and developing players’ confi- dence. “An independent and free athlete is gonna play better,” he explains. “That’s my mantra. That’s how I approach coaching, and it’s been helpful for the athletes–and success- ful for me in coaching and teaching.” Despite his demanding schedule at UH, Alvarez continues to coach at OCC—a place that remains close to his heart. “I love Outrig- ger. Some of my best memories are up there playing the Daddy Haine or with friends at the end of the day as the sun goes down—pep- pering with my kids, with my wife,” he says. “I have a lot of aloha for the beach volleyball program and beach volleyball in general.” As the BeachBows gear up for a big spring, Alvarez is energized by the team’s potential and the opportunity ahead. “It’s a huge honor to be the head coach, and I’m looking forward to being a part of a winning and champion- ship-level team.”

earlier, maybe I would have been too excit- ed and forceful–maybe not as introspective about how to do this, and how to do it right.” With that experience, Alvarez says his approach to coaching has evolved over the years, shifting toward a deeper under- standing of athletes as individuals. “You want to give them the foundation, but that foundation should bring out the best in who they are–the best athlete they can be,” he says. “Our job is to bring out the best in the athlete–sometimes even more than they thought they might have.” Alvarez returns to his alma mater with three decades of beach volleyball coaching experience. He first served on the Rainbow Wahine program as an assistant coach from
AFTER 17 YEARS in the finance world, Outrigger Canoe Club member Danny Alvarez made a life-changing decision:
with the support of his wife and family, he stepped away to pursue coaching full time. More than a decade later, that leap has brought him full circle–back to the Uni- versity of Hawai‘i, where he now leads the Rainbow Wahine Beach Volleyball program he helped build during its inaugural season in 2012. His return has many in the volley- ball community saying it’s about time. “Everything happens for a reason. It was the right time for me,” Alvarez reflects. “I have the right temperament. I have the right experience now. If it came to me a little

2025 Honolulu Marathon Results
30 Honolulu Marathons & Counting
Congratulations to our members who completed this year’s Honolulu Marathon, powering through rainy conditions with determination and grit.
➳ On December 8, 2024, Outrigger Canoe Club member Joanne Klinke crossed the fin- ish line of her 30th Honolulu Marathon. That’s a total of 786 miles. She thought it might be her last, but Klinke couldn’t resist the call of the Berlin Marathon in September 2025, a race she’d been itching to tackle. “I thought, ‘Let me do something I’ve never done in my life before–let me really enjoy a marathon!’” she says with a laugh. “I almost didn’t want it to finish because I trained so hard for this.” Klinke first started running in 1983 and took on her first Honolulu Marathon shortly after in 1985, completing it in four hours and twenty minutes. “My longest run was 11 miles. I had no clue what I was doing,” she recalls. “I experienced runner’s high and was totally hooked–it was like I was gliding! So I just started running every year.” Among decades of racing, a few moments stand out. Klinke’s fastest marathon time, three hours and 31 minutes, remains a person- al highlight. Another unforgettable milestone came during the Honolulu Marathon in 1988 when her husband promised, “If you do 3:45, we’re going to get engaged.” Along the route, friends cheered, “Remember the ring!” and by the time she crossed the finish line, she not only completed the race, but was also newly engaged. The couple later took their love to new heights (literally) when they married atop the Matterhorn in 1993. Not one to rest on her laurels, Klinke soon realized that marathons alone weren’t enough. She began tackling ultramarathons, pushing herself further with races such as the Com- rades Marathon, the world’s largest and oldest ultramarathon held annually in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, and the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon in Cape Town, South Africa. While searching for vacation ideas, Klinke soon began seeking out destination mara- thons, taking on the Jungfrau Marathon in Switzerland and the Great Wall Marathon, where she battled scorching temperatures and even fainted along the course–ultimately conquering the grueling 5,164 stone steps not once, but twice. Each race offered a new test of endurance and a chance to explore the

world, perfectly reflecting Klinke’s adventur- ous spirit. Klinke has been an OCC member since the 80s, and you can still find her most Fri- day mornings joining the Running & Hiking Committee for their weekly run. Over the years, she’s formed some of her closest bonds at the Club through running. In years past, she and fellow members tackled everything from perimeter runs around the island to the Hana Relay on Maui–memories marked by nonstop laughter and easy camaraderie. “I love to laugh, and you just have so much fun. You become friends for life,” she says. “To this day, we still remember that connection, and it never leaves you.” When it comes to running races, Klinke has a few hard-earned tips. Her first: don’t get caught up in pacing or numbers. “You’ve got to relax and almost don’t look at your watch,” she explains. She also warns against walking too much: “The worst thing to do is walk because once you walk, your muscles tense up. So it’s harder to go from a walk into a run again.” And no matter how you feel, she stresses staying hydrated: “At every jolly aid station, whether you’re thirsty or not, you drink!” Even after 30 Honolulu Marathons, five ultramarathons, and destination races around the globe, Klinke still has her eye on new challenges–one of them being the Polar Night Halfmarathon in Tromsø, Norway. The winter race unfolds in near darkness, with the chance of catching the Northern Lights dancing over- head. It’s the kind of challenge that blends endurance with discovery, perfectly in step with the spirit that’s kept Klinke running all these years.
Klinke brings the Aloha State to the Brandenburg Gate ahead of the Berlin Marathon.
