Race Details
The race started in finding ways for the visiting paddling community to benefit the Molokai community, while having a fun time racing on one of the best ALL ROUND courses in Hawaii. Most channel paddlers would only see the start and finish line and not give themselves the opportunity to explore and enjoy Molokai. This is how the race evolved, an event that could be enjoyed by competitors, friends and family.
The course of 8.5 miles will start from Kamalo Harbor and finish at Hotel Molokai. All divisions: SUP, OC1, OC2, OC6, Prone and Ski.
Prize giving, food and drinks will be happening at Hotel Molokai along with an evening of wonderful Molokai hospitality and entertainment. This is a fun event and competitors play an important role in contributing to the local community with their participation. If you plan to stay on Molokai we have some awesome activities and some great paddling. No matter what you want to do, Molokai can give you what you need. Molokai can certainly get you in the mode with the perfect environment for mental preparation leading up to the World Championship race at the end of the month for Stand Up and Prone paddling .

SUPAM BACKGROUND:
Welcome to Stand Up Paddle Association of Molokai. Stand Up Paddle Association of Molokai was started in 2012 by local Molokai paddlers under the parent company of Youth in Motion. Youth in Motion was formed in 1998 and then received its non-profit status in 2003. Without our Youth there is no future of the sport and hence the reason why The Stand Up paddle Association supports the endeavors of Youth In Motion, a Hawaiian Non Profit Organization.
Youth In Motion's Mission Statement : "Empower, Equip, Educate, Challenge and Motivate Youth through activities that engage and develop their mental, emotional, creative, and physical skills on the land and in the ocean."
“Our mission with SUPAM is to introduce the sport to as many people as possible highlighting the fun, the family involvement, the competitive spirit and pure joy in one of the fastest growing water sports in the World.”
Molokai is the center of Paddling Events with world class athletes and events starting or finishing on our island in the prestigious World class paddling competitions. It is our mission to share this sport with much of the community and encouraging our youth to get involved in a healthy ocean activity and lifestyle.
The Molokai Holokai brings our local paddlers and community together to enjoy a festive weekend of healthy ocean activities.
"The Molokai Holokai will embody our inherent Hawaiian cultural values - taking care of the land and sea, giving back to community, honoring host culture/language, respecting others"
