ROBIN MAC LEAN - Head Coach
Robin started paddling with Hanohano in 1991 and has been coaching the women since 2002. She was the assistant coach to founder Rena Horcajo for 4 years prior to becoming Head Coach. Her philosophy supports the ideal of "Ohana" with the ambition to compete at the highest level. The Hanohano Women's program puts more teams on the podium than any other San Diego Club, and most SCORA clubs. Every paddler has a fair and equal experience at practices, with safety being a priority. Paddlers are expected to cross train for fitness and come to practice for technique and blending work. Everyone is expected to help with equipment and fund raising to keep the club successful and prospering.
