Across two years of Covid, we were blown away by the support we received from the global paddling community who came together to support #paddleimua from locations as far and wide as Japan, South Africa, Australia, Cape Verde, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, and more… This year, we are delighted to be able to host an in-person event on Maui once again, and we can’t wait to welcome paddlers here to race, to connect, to enjoy the ‘ohana festival, and most of all - to support children with special needs.Thinking of visiting Maui from afar to paddle with us this year? Please get in touch at paddle@imuafamily.org if we can help in any way! 💙 ... See MoreSee Less

Last year we celebrated 10 years of Paddle Imua, o

Last year we celebrated 10 years of Paddle Imua, our annual multi-discipline paddle race in support of Camp Imua - a week-long recreational camp experience for children with special needs. But did you know? Maui watermen and women first paddled out to support Imua Family Services 36 years ago!
During our search for material to help us celebrate our 75th anniversary, we unearthed these epic pictures from the Kilborn Surf Meet at Ho‘okipa, organized by Rodney Kilborn in September 1986.
Despite the small surf conditions, more than 80 surfers took part in the meet to benefit Imua Rehab, as we were then known. The event raised $1,755, which was used to buy gasoline to transport Imua keiki to classes, and to help pay for walls to be painted and new carpet to be laid in our rehab facility.
As written in The Maui News at the time: “A cool 36 finalists, six in each of the meet’s six events, pumped every bit of energy they could out of Ho‘okipa’s one-foot waves, and when the day’s events were over, Lloyd Ishimine, winner of the men’s 25-over shortboard event, summed up the event in surfer style: ‘I’m glad to be out here doing this for a good cause. I really had to scratch for waves, but it was a great way to spend the day, surfing and helping out Imua Rehab at the same time.’”
Other winners included China Uemura (men’s longboard), Matthew Kinoshita (Men’s 24-under short board), Anna Tomoso (women’s long board and short board), and Talvi Kohler (12-under). Other top finishers were Fred Peterson, Noah Aliuli, Eric Pryor, Sparky Barus, Joni Demello, Melissa Proud, and Maka Puaa.
A thank you letter published in the Maui News read: “Look around carefully, Rodney. There are a dozen hugs in this thank you note. All the keikis and all of the adults that received our services are sending you so much mahalo and love that you may have to enlarge your house, but not your heart. I think that is pretty big already.”
Did you take part in this 80s surf meet fundraiser? Perhaps you were a spectator? We would love to hear your memories from this awesome event! Please comment below or email your recollections to info@imuafamily.org #imuakukakuka #imua75 #paddleimua
