On the final day of the Oahu Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association season, it fittingly went down to the end in all three divisions.

Lanikai won 14 races to claim the AAA Division of the OHCRA Championship Regatta on Sunday at Keehi Lagoon.

Lanikai finished with 186 points to win the AAA Division (31 or more crews). Hui Nalu was second with 176 and Kailua placed third with 144.

“It’s been quite a few years since we won an OHCRA championship. It came down to the last couple races of the day and we were able to pull it out,” said first-year Lanikai coach Carson Perry, who added Hui Nalu had won the last four titles. “We have a lot of depth and a lot of paddlers to put the combinations together and win the regatta.”

Keahiakahoe claimed the AA Division (16-30) and Leeward Kai took the A Division (15 or fewer) — both winning by one point.

There were 44 scoring events with points awarded on a 7-5-4-3-2-1 basis.

Going into the final event — mixed men and women — Lanikai had 179 points and Hui Nalu had 174.

Lanikai won the half-mile race in 3:57.70 and Hui Nalu placed fifth in 4:07.10. Lanikai also won the preceding race — mixed masters 40 — with Hui Nalu placing second.

“It was difficult, but we were able to pull it out at the end,” Perry said.

Keahiakahoe finished with 63 points, Hui Lanakila had 62 and Healani scored 68 in the AA Division.

None of the three teams scored in the final two events.

In event No. 43 — mixed masters 55 — Hui Lanakila won, Keahiakahoe was second and Healani didn’t score.

“Knowing the competition we’re up against, they definitely knew it would come down to the last point,” said Keahiakahoe coach Scott Dickson.

Leeward Kai scored 25 points, Waikiki Surf Club had 24 and Waimanalo recorded 23 in the A Division.

Waimanalo placed second in the final event, Leeward Kai finished third and Waikiki Surf Club didn’t score.

“We’re built around our philosophy of working together, striving together, one for all, all for one,” said Leeward Kai assistant coach Rena Rzonca.

OHRCA will send its top five crews in each event to the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association Championships on Aug. 5 at Hanakao’o Beach Park on Maui. Each crew accumulated points over the six scoring regattas.

“Everyone’s got us this far, now our focus is to get everybody to Maui and win the state championship,” Perry said.

The crews that went 7-0 this season, including an exhibition regatta, were the Keahiakahoe women masters 70, Lanikai men freshmen, Lanikai men junior, Lanikai senior men, Hui Nalu men masters 65 and Kailua men masters 60.

“If you would have asked us at the beginning of the season we’d be undefeated, I think every one of us would’ve said ‘no,’ ” said Lanikai senior men’s paddler Karel Tresnak. “We started off pretty good in the first regatta, from then on all kinds of different guys contributed and every week we won another one and won some tough ones that were really close.”

The Hui Nalu men masters 65 crew only had seven available paddlers for the season, according to steersman Dennis Fern.

“The guys get along really well,” he said. “I think it’s all about the blending and the camaraderie. So paddling together as friends, it just shows.”
