Outrigger Canoe Club

The official publication of the Outrigger Canoe Club is titled Ama to honor the Club’s lineage. 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.

From the President’s Desk

DEAR MEMBERS, I am thrilled to share some exciting recent highlights and my heartfelt gratitude for the collaborative e orts and support that make our community so exceptional.

In April, Outrigger Canoe Club members responded to a call for volunteers to support a community service project spearheaded for years by the Elks Club. Several dozens of us joined our gracious neighbors in clearing debris that had piled up against the storm drains around Kapi‘olani Park and along Kalākaua Avenue. We organized into small groups, rekindling old friendships and making new ones along the way. Inspired by the clear passion of many members to engage

“Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation”) served as the Presenting Sponsor and was honored to host this signature event. See which members earned the Ambassadors of Aloha Awards on page 23. I also want to note the passing of longtime member Alice Guild, with whom I had the pleasure of getting to know late in her life on the Long Range Planning (LRP) committee. Her wise, kind ways positively influenced our conversations on the LRP committee, and will continue to guide our Club for years to come. Finally, thank you to our membership for your continued support and cooperation with regards to the parking garage repair project. We appreciate our athletic teams who have been parking o‘site to allow for more available parking in our structure (especially for kupuna members), to our Club Captain and Athletic Committee members for their quick work in arranging for the temporary relocation of the fitness center, and to our Buildings and Grounds committee and executive leadership and sta‘ for executing this project as e‘ectively and expediently as possible. Thank you also to our members and sta‘ who helped the Club navigate various ocean safety, access, and marine mammal protection matters over the last couple of months. We are a village, and an incredibly talented one at that! Thank you for being part of this vibrant and caring community.

in community service projects, a sub-committee of Member Relations was formed called “Community Engagement”, to ensure the continuation of Club mission-related community service opportunities for our members, and to support the numerous existing projects that our members and employees have supported for years (learn more on page 13 ). We look forward to seeing the Community Engagement sub- committee blossom, and collaborating on more projects in the future with our neighbors. In May, the Historical Committee toured our Board through the Historical Committee’s o‘site storage lockers. There, Board members discovered the incredible treasure trove of memorabilia lovingly and expertly organized and displayed in two walk-in storage containers. We ooh-ed and ahhh-ed over precious photos capturing historic moments, especially relating to the Club’s unparalleled sports history, flipped through pages of detailed newsletters from decades past, and marveled at trophies engraved in English and Japanese. This visit reminded us of the rich history of our Club and exceptional talents and aloha of our members. Also in May, the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation held its Duke’s Night event at the Club, honoring 32 Hawai‘i athletes who excel in canoeing, surfing, kayaking, swimming, diving, water polo, sailing, or volleyball, with a record of accomplishments and intention to compete in college, especially those who exhibit the character and personality traits of Duke Kahanamoku.

General Manager’s Corner

ALOHA OCC ‘OHANA, As you read this edition of the Ama magazine, we’ve just wrapped up another spectacular 4th of July celebration at the Outrigger Canoe Club.

Fitness Center Understanding the importance of the Fitness Centers to our members, it was crucial to keep these amenities accessible during the parking garage repairs. Huge mahalo to Billy Pratt, Club Captain, and Matt Tanigawa, AD, for their leadership in relocating the fitness centers to level F in the parking garage. Both fitness centers were moved up two levels in less than six hours. Excellent planning and execution by the team! Thank you both. Logo Shop The online Logo Shop has been a tremendous success! Members continue to send in orders daily, and Lana Osgood, our Logo Shop Manager, keeps adding more items for members to purchase. These online enhancements will soon be complemented by the remodel of the physical shop space. Fabrication on the redesigned space has already begun, and the entire remodel should be completed in the next couple of months. Landscape Project Blink and you’ll miss it—skip a day at the Club, and you’ll be amazed by the progress. Pacific Landscape continues to impress with the quality of the new landscaping and the execution of the project. Keep an eye out for the continued transformation over the next couple of months! Once again, mahalo to each of you, members and sta‘, for your unwavering support throughout the year. Your devotion to the Outrigger Canoe Club is unmatched. Best wishes to you and your families for a safe and wonderful summer!

Congratulations to all the paddlers who proudly represented

our club in the Macfarlane Regatta! The pride of the

Outrigger Canoe Club was on full display, with over 300 members representing the “O” on the beaches of Waikīkī. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated sta‘ for their incredible

hard work leading up to the 4th of July and their tireless e‘orts on the day of the event. Hosting over 500 members is no small feat, and it wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team!

Operations Update: Parking Garage Repairs

Work on the parking garage is ongoing and will continue to be a part of our normal operations for most of the year. The project is now expected to be completed by the end of November due to additional work and weather delays. A special thank you to the Board of Directors for their proactive approach to the summer parking constraints and their partnership with La Pietra, allowing additional parking options for members during the busy summer months. Jono Saunders continues to do an incredible job managing this project, and I also want to thank Steven Byrnes, our Head of Security, for his e‘orts in communicating with members and managing the parking lot when it gets full. Lastly, I appreciate our members’ patience with this project. I know it’s a daily inconvenience, but your understanding as we continue is greatly valued. Rest assured; meticulous attention is being given to ensure this project is done right the first time!

There will be winery tours, of course, but there will also be a curated selection of must-do opportunities you won’t want to miss, including exclusive dinners, a hot air balloon ride over the lush valley and coastline, and other experiences unique to the region. “This is just another amenity for our members, it’s a way to have a unique experience made possible through OCC’s connections with the wine industry,” shares Rede. If you missed out on this trip, stay tuned for more information because this inaugural trip may be the first of its kind, but it’s not expected to be the last. Cheers to that! Save the date for OCC’s second annual Wine Festival on Sept. 21. More information to come.

➳ A group of OCC members are heading to Napa Valley and Sonoma County for a wine-centric week from August 14 to 21. Organized by our very own Food & Beverage Director Rede Eder, this offering is the latest in OCC’s robust wine program. For years, members have enjoyed exclusive tastings, expertly paired dinners, half-off wine Wednesdays, and more, and now Rede is thrilled to be able to coordinate this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “The COVID lockdown started to solidify the Wine-O’s and the program itself, it was a way to connect families, and since then, people have solidified those connections and made new friendships, too.”

Steeped in Tradition The annual canoe blessing ceremony reminds us that Kaoloa, Kakina, and Leilani are not just vessels, but symbols of the Club’s dedicaon to preserving the heritage of Hawaiian canoe racing. By Siana Hunt

Paddlers from all age divisions (there are members aged 10 to 81 on our 2024 roster), coaches and their families gathered around the canoes with a hand on each boat as Kahu Cordell blessed the wa’a and season ahead. Connecting with these racing hulls before the first regatta race of the season ties our paddlers to the past, present and future of the sport. This year, the event was even more special, as OCC’s boat builder Domie Gose joined on the beach to help commemorate the mana of our canoes. The afternoon brought a cloudless sky, and just as Kahu Cordell began the blessing, a gentle kili noe rain fell, adding a natural blessing of its own.

➳ The Club’s canoe racing program recently held a special blessing for its cherished koa canoes, Kaoloa, Kakina and Leilani. These canoes have rich history, with Kakina and Leilani crafted from prized koa logs in the 1930s, and Kaoloa built in the 1980s by Club member and renowned boat builder Joe Quigg. The Kakina and Leilani, known for their distinct designs and racing prowess, first competed in Honolulu Harbor in 1936 and Kaoloa designs advancing the sport in its own right. Over the decades, these canoes have been lovingly maintained and repaired, embodying the spirit and tradition of Hawaiian canoe racing. Still today, members paddle these historic canoes with pride, honoring their legacy and the craftsmanship that has kept them afloat for nearly a century.

Commi’ed to Commun£ A new subcommi€ee has formed, and now members have a chance to give back island-wide.

➳ The Member Relations Committee recently formed a new subcommittee, Community Engagement. “I’ve always felt like this was something that the Club needed to do—we’re all looking for ways to give back to the larger community,” says Chair Alice Lunt. General Manager Tyler Roukema and President Emily Reber-Porter were supportive from the get-go. Though many members spend personal time volunteering and donating money to worthy organizations, this is a way to make a difference collectively. In fact, recently, OCC members partnered with the Elks Lodge to do a joint clean-up at Kapi‘olani Park, and nearly 50 OCC members showed up to participate. There’s a plethora of organizations that

could use the help, but the committee has decided to focus on ocean-related causes. First up? A clean-up at Waikīkī Beach on Aug. 25, in partnership with and following Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation’s 10-day Duke’s Oceanfest. Other volunteer opportunities will likely include making and tossing genki balls into the Ala Wai and teaming up with the Waikīkī Aquarium. Stay tuned—they’re just getting started! Look for more information about the event in the OCC weekly emails. If you want more details on how to get involved, email Alice at dsadl@hotmail.com or contact one of the other committee members: Dolan Eversole, Jeanne Herbert, Susan Murray, Eva Rochlen orMatt Zimmerman.

In the world of paddling, the rhythm of the ocean often mirrors the ebb and flow of life itself.

“I was in seat one, and I could hear them stop paddling, getting all nervous,” Sabrina recalls. “I was just yelling, ‘Keep paddling! Keep going! Paddle forward!’ while counting out the strokes.” Despite being thrown back by the force of the waves, Sa- brina’s focus remained unwavering. Clutching her sister’s hat, she held tight to the tangible reminder of her resolve, propelling her team forward as they prepared to take on the rest of the 20-something mile practice run. Sabrina’s determination and leadership propelled them forward, embodying the spirit of perseverance Orr instills within the team. Following the lead of her older sister, Gavriel- la “Gigi” Graves, Sabrina first joined Outrigger’s junior ranks in 2019. Over the years, Gigi and her friends taught Sabrina to love the sport, and the Club quickly became her sanctuary, o‘ering a ref- uge from life’s challenges and a safe space to train and hone her skills. “With paddling, I feel a lot more connected to my communities,” she explains. “I feel more connected to the ‘aina, to the water. Even though it’s intense and it’s hard, it’s so peaceful and therapeutic for me.”

F

FOR SABRINA GRAVES, a junior athlete at Outrig- ger Canoe Club and a senior at La Pietra – Hawai’i School for Girls, this sentiment rings especially true. “If there’s a wave coming, don’t stop paddling,” she says, recalling Outrigger Coach Darren Orr’s words of guidance. It’s wisdom Sabrina has taken to heart not only while racing, but also while navigat- ing life’s metaphorical waters. “When there’s a huge obstacle coming your way, ready to crash through your life, you just keep going–you just keep paddling. You show no fear and you charge through.” Orr’s words proved invaluable during a routine practice session that soon turned into an unex- pected challenge. Just o‘ the shore of the Club as Sabrina and her teammates made their way to the channel, they were suddenly confronted by an espe- cially formidable set of waves.

AMA | July / august 2024

Sabrina stops to pose in Canoe Alley

Along the way, Sabrina has embraced various challenges, from long distance races to SoloCraft seasons and regatta competitions. Yet, amidst this array of experiences, she finds the most excitement in the thrill of long distance races. “It’s so fun doing these super long races that really test your endurance,” Sabrina says. “You get to see so much of the island, and it’s just beautiful.” One of her proudest accomplishments at the Club was winning first place with her best friends and teammates in the 2023 Kaiwi Channel Crossing OC-1 junior girls relay. Participating in the 26-mile race had been a dream of hers since she was 14, and when the opportunity came to compete, she seized it, despite recovering from a shoulder injury. “It was a lot di‘erent than I expected because the conditions were insane,” Sabrina recalls. “It was fully flat–no bumps–no waves you could catch. So it was just pure muscle strength, pulling through the water. I was just so proud of my team and my girls because we really hammered all the way through.” Throughout her time paddling, Sabrina has gained immense mental toughness. Her determina- tion to win and competitive spirit have driven her to push her limits to the point of physical exhaustion during races. However, she acknowledges that the journey isn’t always easy, and there are moments when motivation wanes. “The girls in your boat— that’s one of the main reasons you’re pushing so hard,” Sabrina reflects. “I’ve learned when it gets hard, just continue to push through and push harder. I think when you lose motivation to do it for yourself, you do it for others. You do it for your girls.” Sabrina attributes much of her growth as a leader to her involvement in Outrigger’s paddling community. Growing up, her biggest role model and motivator was her sister, Gigi, who held stroke seat one and served as a strong leader for the team. When Gigi transitioned into the women’s program, it was time for Sabrina to step into the crucial role of seat one during long distance and regatta sea- sons, taking on the responsibility to help guide the younger girls on the team.

I know that if I’m pushing hard, then the girls behind me will push hard because what they’re doing is a reflection of what I’m doing and what I’m putting out.”

“When you’re stroke seat, you don’t have anyone in front of you. It’s you that’s keeping the pace,” she says. “You can’t back o‘ at all or people are gonna notice–you can’t hide within the boat there. I know that if I’m pushing hard, then the girls behind me will push hard because what they’re doing is a reflection of what I’m doing and what I’m putting out.” After experiencing the sisterhood among her paddling teammates at Outrigger, Sabrina realized that this was the support system she wanted and needed in college. “I feel so close and connected with the girls and the coaches. It really became a second family,” she says. It was this sense of camaraderie that solidified her decision to pursue collegiate rowing. In fact, Outrigger Coach Rachel Kincaid first introduced both Sabrina and her sister to the sport. Coupled with her dream of one day flying commercial planes in the islands, Sabrina committed to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Flor- ida, where she will study Aeronautical Science and also compete on the school’s NCAA Division II rowing team. “If I was gonna go somewhere so far away from home, I knew I needed to have my girls there,” she says. “And with rowing–the sport is completely di‘erent–but the community is very much like the paddling community.” Being part of Outrigger has imparted numer- ous invaluable lessons to Sabrina, instilling in her the importance of relying on and trusting her teammates, fostering camaraderie, and unity. However, perhaps the most profound lesson learned from her involvement with Outrigger is the understanding of being there for others. From learning under the guidance of coaches to becoming a leader herself, Sabrina has honed her ability to support and uplift her peers. Ultimately, the Club has equipped Sabrina with the skills and mindset necessary to navigate both the waters of the ocean and the journey of life with determina- tion, compassion, and unwavering commitment.

SABRINA’S STORY IS A TESTAMENT to the transforma- tive power of the Outrigger community. Similarly, Ella Deuchar found a sense of belonging and support within the Club’s close-knit environment. Growing up, Ella spent countless days at Outrigger with her family, becoming a junior member at the age of 10. Now, at 18 and a senior at Punahou School, she is pur- suing her passion for beach volleyball at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. In November 2023, a celebration took place in Waikiki as Ella and dozens of other student athletes gathered to commemorate National Letter of Intent Signing Day. Many of her friends from Outrig- ger were there, ready to chase their own dreams of S

AMA | July / august 2024

Ella’s journey into beach volleyball began casual- ly, playing in a few tournaments with her indoor teammates. Initially, it wasn’t about competition; she simply enjoyed the game. “I just really liked how beach volleyball is just you and your partner,” she explains. Unlike indoor volleyball, where her role as a libero limited her to passing, beach volleyball allowed her to engage in all aspects of the game— passing, setting, and hitting. Being outdoors only deepened her love for the sport. “Especially here, where it’s the birthplace of beach volleyball, it really gave me the opportunity to love it even more and experience it while I was growing up,” Ella reflects. Ella says Outrigger Coach Danny Alvarez has been a pivotal figure in her development as a beach volleyball player. “He’s definitely one of the best Ella spends as much me on the OCC courts as possible before heading to the Central Coast of California.

A lot of it is her work ethic and her ability to exe- cute the skills. Hard work pays off, and I think she’s shown that.”

playing their respective sport in college. “Actually signing really just made me realize all the hard work that went into it, and it just really felt good at that moment,” Ella says. This event marked the culmination of years of dedication and e‘ort, made even more special by the presence of her family and friends from the Outrigger community. Inspired by the Club’s legacy of athletic excel- lence and driven by her competitive nature, Ella is looking forward to playing in college under Head Coach Todd Rogers, an Olympian himself, on the NCAA Division I team. She follows in the footsteps of Outrigger beach volleyball Olympians and Olym- pic hopefuls she admired throughout her childhood, such as Tri Bourne and Trevor Crabb. “It’s just really inspiring to have people that came from the same place as me out there–in the Olympics–and doing really well,” Ella says. “With all the opportunities that Outrigger provides for athletics, it just makes me really grateful.”

coaches I’ve ever had just because of the way he runs practices and how supportive he is,” Ella says. “He’s just really helped me learn how to be calm on the court, and I think that’s something really important in a beach coach.” Having coached Ella from a young age, Alva- rez has witnessed her evolution into a formidable college-level player firsthand. Seeing her prog- ress over the years fills him with immense pride. “I’ve been coaching a lot of professionals, and I’ve coached at the college level, and Ella is able to work through the process at that same level–which is amazing for such a young athlete,” Alvarez says. Ella often steps in as a fourth member to assist during the beach volleyball coach’s college and professional practices, demonstrating her ability to hold her own. “A lot of it is her work ethic and her ability to execute the skills,” Alvarez notes. “Hard work pays o‘, and I think she’s shown that.”

It’s hard in the beginning. One season, you might be in the back of the pack, but you know, it gets easier. You get faster, you get stronger, if you keep showing up.”

To Alvarez, Ella embodies the essence of the Outrigger spirit. Her dedication to the program is unmistakable, as seen through her commitment to remaining involved and supporting younger play- ers. “One specific memory I have is my first practice at Outrigger,” Ella recalls. “I remember being really scared because I was playing with the big girls, but I just remember all of them being very friendly and encouraging. I strive to be as welcoming and supportive as they were to me.” This attitude speaks volumes about Ella’s character and her role within the Outrigger community.

As Ella prepares to embark on her collegiate journey, she plans to pursue a degree in business administration with a minor in sports management. While she aims to strike a balance between academ- ics and athletics, she approaches this new chapter with a positive mindset, refraining from setting expectations as she joins a sizable team. “Just know- ing that I’m going to play in college next year makes all the hard practices and workouts worth it,” Ella says. However, what excites her most is the prospect of facing new competition. “Hawaii’s a really small island, and that’s great for building a sense of com- munity, but we really just play against the same girls. Going to the mainland and getting to play against di‘erent colleges and people across the country is definitely something I’m looking forward to.” “It’s a very competitive program,” Alvarez says about beach volleyball at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. “Todd is one of the best coaches in the world, and he was one of the best players in the world, so to be able to play for him is kind of a dream come true for Ella.” While Ella remains uncertain about her future beyond collegiate beach volleyball, she is grateful for the chance to follow her passion. “I really just owe everything to my family. I want to work hard to make them proud and to not let myself down,” she says. As both Ella and Sabrina prepare to challenge themselves in their new environments, Sabrina o‘ers words of wisdom for future generations of young athletes. She emphasizes the importance of showing up consistently, despite the initial di©- culties. “It’s hard in the beginning. One season, you might be in the back of the pack, but you know, it gets easier. You get faster, you get stronger, if you keep showing up,” she advises. “If you want to be in that boat, you gotta show up for your teammates.” 

Though Ella cherishes her me at OCC, she’s excited to face new compeon at the collegiate level.

Ambassadors of Aloha Three OCC members were recognized for carrying forth Duke Kahanamoku’s legacy at Duke’s Night. IN LATE MAY, The Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation (ODKF) celebrated 32 students statewide who are continuing Duke’s legacy of aloha and athletic competition at the Club’s Koa Lanai. The Duke’s Night program featured a buffet and an illustrious panel discussion led by Billy Pratt. Fellow OCC member Mark Towill and other prominent Hawai‘i athletes, Wyatt Jones and Shelley Oates-Wilding, offered junior athletes some words of wisdom in regard to competing in sports and life. All 32 students received scholarships for their outstanding character and values, but it was Makana Fake, a student at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama, who was awarded the most prominent one, the Duke Award. “All of the students honored at Duke’s Night embody the spirit and passions of Duke Kahanamoku,” said Sarah Fairchild, Executive Director at ODKF. “They are our next generation of Ambassadors of Aloha, teaching their peers, co-workers, and competitors about Hawai‘i and the aloha spirit.” Three OCC junior athletes (coincidentally, all female volleyball players) received recognition for their outstanding contributions to the community and embodying the aloha spirit in everything they do: KAWENA CHILLINGWORTH Kawena recently graduated from Punahou School, and will play beach volleyball at Santa Clara University in the fall, majoring in business. She enjoys spending her free time at the beach surfing, paddling, and shelling. She has played beach and indoor volleyball all her life. SOFIA CONNOR A student at Seabury Hall on Maui, Sofia is an avid volleyball player who plans to continue playing beach volleyball at a competitive, Division I university next fall. Last summer, Sofia represented Hawai’i in Italy and Croatia, and was named to the Global Challenge Volleyball All-Tournament Team. She was co-captain of her high school team and earned First Team All-League Honors. Sofia travels to O‘ahu every weekend to train with the OCC’s Beach Volleyball program. HIE LOUI Born and raised in ‘Āina Haina, Loui grew up immersed in multiple Duke sports including canoe paddling, surfing, beach volleyball and indoor volleyball. She attended Punahou School and graduated
