The 9TH ANNUAL OLUKAI HO'OLAULEA
KANAHA BEACH PARK, MAUI - "MALIKO DOWNWIND RUN"
Official Website: https://www.olukai.com/hoolaulea.html
Ho’olaule’a – literally, it means “celebration”, but for us, it’s also an expression of gratitude. Each May, we hold our interpretation of this storied Hawaiian tradition on Maui’s north shore. The event blends elite competition with family-friendly cultural activities and gathers some of the world’s best SUP, OC1 AND OC2 paddlers to race the legendary 8-mile Maliko downwind run. Friends and families come together to enjoy canoe sailing and surfing, ancient Hawaiian games, traditional luau, hula, and live music. We take this opportunity to recognize and honor our community as we share collective gifts of time, energy, and spirit.
