No Nā Keiki

Our Team

No Nā Keiki started with two fathers and a couple keiki in 2024. We now have 5 coaches, 12 paddlers and race Molokai.

Our youngest paddler started at 10 years old. V1, OC1 and OC2 canoes are donated. All free for the keiki.

Head Coach Keone Loo runs Team NNK with coaches Harley Salis, Seth Ramolette, Damien Mercado and Elijah Dominici. Our growing ohana of families and friends support practices, racing and fundraising.
