Participants can paddle “anything that floats” in untimed races similar to Paddle For Hunger. The proceeds will be used to provide toys and gifts for Maui’s underprivileged youth.
The check-in is at 7 a.m., with races starting at 8 a.m. The after-party brunch starts at 10 a.m. at Nalu’s, where guests can enjoy food, drink specials and live music.
Participants are encouraged to pre-register online, with credit card donations preferred. The first 75 individuals who donate $30 or more will receive a Paddle For Keiki t-shirt or holiday ornament, plus free brunch from Nalu’s at the after-party. Checks, cash and credit cards are accepted. Checks can be made payable to “Hawaiian Paddle Sports.”
