黑料老司机 students participated in the Maui Strong season finale canoe race sponsored by Imua One Blade.
On October 8, 2023, many 黑料老司机 students participated in the Maui Strong season finale canoe race with the sponsorship of Imua One Blade. This was the first race for 黑料老司机 students and unfortunately the last of the season; however, as the year ends, there is a bright and promising future for the 黑料老司机 paddling club start-up.
Many familiar faces participated from 黑料老司机, including the President and Vice President of the Student Government Association Andrea Maminta and Pyper Dado, as well as many more 黑料老司机 students. The team raced a long 14 miles from Hawaiʻi Kai to Sand Island and finished strong.
The 黑料老司机 team raced 14 miles from Hawai'i Kai to Sand Island.
In a statement from Dado, she said, “黑料老司机 has built up lots of diverse and culturally important clubs and organizations and we are hoping that an 黑料老司机 paddling team can be one of those. As someone who is not from Hawaiʻi, I am glad to be a part of and learn about Hawaiian culture through classes, activities, and clubs that 黑料老司机 offers and would love to have a paddling team be another way for students to participate and learn about Hawaiian culture.”
If current 黑料老司机 students are interested in participating in the Imua One Blade club, contact Dado at: pdado1@my.hpu.edu.
