History
Canoes of all types have, for years, been enjoying the downwind run from West Maui to South Moloka’i.
For a time, there was only one race — for 0C-1s and Surfskis but, in 2007, the Pailolo Challenge was inaugurated so that finally, Hawaii’s 6-person outrigger canoe paddlers could enjoy one of Hawaii’s best downwind runs.
One of windiest channels in the Hawaiian islands, the Pailolo Channel takes the trades that funnel between Maui and Moloka’i and transforms them into perfectly spaced bumps that offer rides virtually all the way from the start at D.T. Flemings Beach Park to Kaunakakai Pier, 26 miles away.
The race is open to HRCA approved*fiberglass six-person outrigger canoes AND Open Class Canoes.
Divisions: Men’s open (9), Master 40 (9) , Master 50 (10), Iron (6). Women’s open (10), Master 40 (10), Master 50 (12), Master 60 (12) and Iron (6)
No escort boat required for iron crews however, all iron crews are encouraged to have a VHF radio on board.
• Registration is on Friday, September 16 from 11:30am-5:00pm at Maui Brewing Company Brew Pub. Paddlers receive 25% off food and $3 beers till 5pm.

We certainly dodged a bullet on Friday morning with only a few inches of water moving through Hoaloha Park. Over 30 members showed up late Thursday night to evacuate 19 canoes to War Memorial and store other important equipment upstairs. Then many members returned on Friday to bring the canoes back home, put the equipment away, and clean the hale and grounds of water and debris. During a time with so much uncertainty, our members came together and worked very hard to m?lama our wa’a and hale.
The devastation in Japan is heart breaking, and we pray for our brothers and sisters across the ocean. To donate, go to www.redcross.org and donate to the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami. You can also make a $10 donation by texting REDCROSS to 90999 or call 1-800-REDCROSS.
