The Ala Wai Canal once again hosted Waikiki Community Center's Ala Wai Challenge on Sunday, January 27, 2008.   The 23rd Annual Ala Wai Challenge is sponsored by Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort with festivities and blessing starting at 8:00 a.m.

The exciting canoe races and Hawaiian Makahiki games were a big hit throughout the day.
