  OUTRIGGER PADDLING FOR MAUI CANCER SURVIVORS & SUPPORTERS

    

Mana‘olana Pink Paddlers — not just a canoe club, but a living, breathing ‘Ohana, born of hope, shaped by challenge, and bound together by love. For many who arrive at the club’s shores, cancer is more than a diagnosis — it is a storm. It brings fear, pain, and often, a sense of isolation. But when a survivor steps into the canoe, surrounded by others who have walked the same uncertain path, something begins to change. The rhythm of the ocean syncs with the beat of the heart. Strength returns. So does laughter. Healing begins. We paddle not to compete, but to connect. Not to escape, but to embrace. Since our beginning in 2006, Mana’olana Pink Paddlers has grown into a movement — a celebration of life, of community, and of the spirit that cannot be broken.


Join Mana’olana Pink Paddlers -- Maui’s only non-profit 501(c)(3) outrigger canoe club dedicated to helping cancer survivors regain health and happiness after the grueling effects of cancer treatment.


Come paddle in our safe, stable, double hull canoes.  We paddle every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday from Sugar Beach, North Kihei. 

Have fun, gain confidence, make new friends & become
part of something bigger than yourself.

A new paddler said " I spent the morning paddling with the Mana'olana Pink Paddlers in support of people in my life who I’ve lost to cancer and friends who continue to struggle. What a magical, spiritual experience!"

"Stay strong as you live your life story and remember your blessings,
no matter what circumstances you face”
"Always take the good with the bad, one day at a time.
Always be happy to see the sun shine."

IMPORTANT PARKING RULES!

Maui Canoe Club is situated on land owned by Mahi Pono.  Compliance with their parking regulations is mandatory.  Failure to adhere to these rules may result in the club's eviction.  Parking regulations apply to all members and guests.  Please read carefully and share this information with your paddling visitors. 

  1. Parking Location:  Park only on the makai (ocean) side of the highway next to our beach.  Do not park on the opposite side of the highway.  Ensure your vehicle is not parked on the highway shoulder.
  2. Turnaround Restrictions:  Do not use the area across the highway as a "turn-around area" to park.  NO LEFT TURNS are allowed.  Drive past our club toward Ma'alaea until you find a broken center line, then pull off to the far right.  Wait for clear traffic in both directions before turning around.
  3. Highway Crossing:  Do not cross the highway on foot.
  4. Leaving the Beach:  Do not turn left toward Ma'alaea when leaving the beach.  Instead, turn right and drive toward Kihei to find a safe, legal spot to turn around to drive back toward Ma'alaea.
  5. Safety:  Members are asked to assist one another in backing out of parking spaces if sight is impaired.
  6. Carpooling Encouraged:  Members are encouraged to carpool as much as possible to minimize parking congestion.

These rules are non-negotiable.
Please do not put your membership and the club’s existence at risk by failing to comply.
