🌊 Paddle Imua 2026 – Race Day Setup 🤙
Today I’ll be lining up at Maliko Gulch for the 15th Annual Paddle Imua—the longest-running downwind race in the world and, for the first time, featuring a Parawing division! What an incredible milestone for our sport.
For this year’s race, I’m keeping my setup simple, reliable, and fast.
🪂 Triple Seven UDW – 3.2m & 4.1m
🏄 Frank Custom Downwind Board
⚡ KT Foiling Apex 77 Mast – Ultra High Modulus Carbon
⚡ KT Solus 930 Front Wing
⚡ KT Pulse 115 Tail
I decided to race a little more conservatively this year. Instead of the faster 775 front wing, I’m choosing the Solus 930. It offers incredible glide, speed, efficiency, and confidence when the conditions get challenging. My goal is to stay comfortable, avoid getting overpowered, and enjoy every mile from Maliko to Kanahā.
Huge mahalo to Paddle Imua for 15 years of bringing our ocean community together while helping send Maui’s keiki to Camp Imua. It’s an honor to be part of such an amazing event.
Looking forward to sharing the water with friends old and new. Good luck to everyone racing, and most importantly—have fun and stay safe! 🤙🌊
