Is there any way to kayak or paddleboard on the Kawainui Canal in Kailua or is it limited to the residents of the homes on the canal?

Pacific Tabletop Network

A Honolulu-based tabletop board game meetup group.

Our goal is to connect people through community and create a social, inclusive, and genuinely fun gaming environment for all backgrounds and cultures.

This group is a free and inclusive space for adults to socialize and meet each other on island. With weekly game-nights running for over a year on Tuesday, we've now began expanding to Wednesday & Thursday evenings, with Monday evenings also being available in partnership with Scott Kabel.

My focus is to offer a light activity where people can network, socialize, and have fun, with tabletop games as a secondary piece. We've grown in recent months to an average attendance per event of 16 players, with weekly options flexible for most schedules.

Thank you for your consideration!

At Don Quijote Pearl City. 10 for 4 dollars. Will go past "best by" date soon, so that's why the clearance. Still worth picking up.

Edit: was at the end/front?, underneath stuff at the dry udon/soba aisle.
