HONOLULU (KHON2) — Honolulu Ocean Safety, in collaboration with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Honolulu Fire Department, is unveiling new information on the missing paddler off of Kailua.
The man was first reported missing on the morning of Oct. 19 when his canoe was found unoccupied at around 9:30 a.m. about 100 years south of Flat Island.
The paddler is believed to be in his 60s.
