HILO >> Amid Hilo’s iconic off-and-on precipitation, Lanikai Canoe Club poured on its balanced strategy to slowly but surely ensure a 100% chance of reign.

Lanikai won a regatta-high 12 races and used a steady distribution of talent from its keiki-to-kupuna ranks to hold off Hawaiian Canoe Club of Maui by a mere 3 points and claim its fourth consecutive Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association State Championship regatta in come-from-behind fashion on Saturday at Hilo Bay.

The competition marked the end of the summer sprint-racing season and served as the last opportunity to secure gold — and bragging rights — before paddlers turn their attention to the long-distance campaign.

“We made it to the top, we’re in the penthouse, baby!” said a relieved Lanikai head coach Scott Freitas after watching his club secure the title in the final race of the 43-event (the men’s masters 40 and over) slate to break what was a 453-453 tie with Hawaiian. Lanikai took second and Hawaiian fifth in the race.

“The elevator was broken, and we had to fight going up and down the whole time, but I knew our strength was at the end of the regatta. I’m so proud of the club because I told them before the race that we need to live for today, stay focused and be positive.”

Lanikai, the five-time defending Oahu Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association champion, racked up 466 points to secure the AAAA Division (21-plus crews entered) title ahead of Hawaiian (463 points), the 37-time defending Maui County Hawaiian Canoe Association champion.

Moku O Hawaii Outrigger Canoe Racing Association (Hawaii island) champion Puna (306 points) finished third overall ahead of Hui Nalu (264 points) and Keaukaha (226 points), while five-time defending Na ‘Ohana O Na Hui Wa‘a champion Manu O Ke Kai (221 points) and Kailua (220 points) rounded out the large division.

In addition to its four consecutive state regatta victories, Lanikai has also won 30 straight OHCRA competitions dating back to 2017. Lanikai and Hawaiian have combined to win 23 straight HCRA state championships.

“My hat goes off to Lanikai, they played their cards right, and have so much talent,” said Hawaiian assistant coach Paul Lu‘uwai. “It’s like a big chess match, and we moved our pieces around, went all in with all the athletes we had, but we came up three points short. I’m stoked we took second and finishing just three points off the lead as we rebuild … we finished second by 50 points last year, so that’s a big accomplishment.

“It takes a village to make the tribe strong, so we’ll come back next year and try again. All respect to Lanikai, they’re on the high right now and we want to honor them as the champions because they earned it. Aloha can be universal, and while we all want to win, we’re so grateful we get to paddle.”

Nearly 3,000 paddlers ranging in age from 12-and-younger to 70-and-older represented 53 clubs from six outrigger canoe paddling organizations in races spanning from 1⁄4 to 1 1⁄2 miles.

Winning crews in each race earned 15 points, with 13 points going to second place, 12 for third and continuing in descending order with last place earning one point across the 14-lane field. The scoring system rewarded clubs for consistently placing high and scoring points across the board, a “quality plus quantity” approach that Lanikai and Hawaiian — winners of 15 of the last 23 state titles — have refined over the years.

Through the day’s first 14 races, Hawaiian built a 173-127 lead over Lanikai as the clubs notched three wins apiece during that stretch.

Lanikai turned in an impressive victory in the senior men’s race as its veteran crew completed an undefeated season in the marquee event. Lanikai relied on its collective height and strength to utilize a longer, slower stroke rate that kept the canoe moving through the water, while allowing the paddlers to use energy efficiently.

“The longer the race is, we’re so big and tall and practice together every day, we can keep the stroke rate long and that can scramble the other crews,” said veteran Lanikai paddler Matt Crowley, who kept the pace as the crew’s stroker in seat one. “When we’re paddling at half the stroke rate they’re going, they start to lose their focus (trying to keep up by paddling faster and expending more energy). Anyone can be there for a half mile, maybe a mile, but in a mile-and-a-half race, you’d better be in good shape.”

Joining Crowley in the winning senior canoe were Paie Moehau, Aaron Norris, Raven Pokini, Igor Sobreira and Karel Tresnak Jr.

The squad navigated the 11⁄2-mile, five-turn race in 10 minutes, 51.68 seconds and held off Wailea (11:02.44) from Maui and Keauhou (11:03.59) from Hawaii island. The victory helped Lanikai move to within 18 points of Hawaiian, 333-315, at that point in the regatta with 13 races remaining.

“This win was really big for the club, and this senior crew is tried and true, so to finish the season undefeated is never easy because you’re always one slip-up away from having the other guys bounce us,” Tresnak Jr. said. “We’re happy to end the regatta season this way. We always say that if we can win the senior race and lose every other men’s race, we’ll take it. There are six of us in the boat, but we have so many more paddlers — from young guys to masters – so this win is a result of the whole club working hard all season.”

Paddlers raced in the relatively calm waters of the bay and were cooled by cloud cover and light breezes. As multiple paddlers noted throughout the day, a “typical Hilo weather” pattern persisted as humid conditions were spelled by sporadic light rain showers and brief downpours.

“The water was weird, the wind shifted and even died at some points,” said Crowley, who noted that Lanikai typically paddles in windy conditions with waves — opposite of the Hilo Bay conditions. “We have a good brotherhood, blend well and rely on our technique and timing is top notch.”

Lanikai continued to ride the positive momentum with a victory in the senior women’s masters 50 race. The crew of Karen Bond, Robin Cooper, Jennifer Fisher, Ke‘ani Hardy, Kelly Smith and Pauahi Ioane completed the 1/2-mile event in 4 minutes, 18.78 seconds.

After finishing ahead of Lae‘ula O Kai (4:24.81) and Hawaiian (4:25.91), Lanikai pulled to within 8 points of Hawaiian, 386-378, with eight races to go. Lanikai then added two consecutive wins (senior men’s masters 50 and women’s open four) to pull ahead of Hawaiian for the first time, 408-405.

“It felt like we got stronger the closer we go to the end, and it felt really good as we picked it up; this was an awesome crew,” Ioane said.

OHCRA medium-division champion Keahiakahoe finished in a tie with Kai Opua for the AAA Division (13-20 crews entered) title with 162 points apiece, and bested Kihei (130 points) and Lokahi (82 points).

Kai ‘Ehitu (116 points) secured the AA Division (7-12 crews entered) crown and Wailea repeated as the A Division (1-6 crews entered) champion with 62 points by holding off Healani (60 points).
