Your presence will make a huge difference to stop Shark Tours from occurring in these waters. This issue directly effects all the paddlers and community who care, train and race Maunalua Bay, and the surrounding waters.
Surfers, fishermen, boaters, kayakers, stand up paddlers, swimmers and Hawai’i canoe clubs, all use the waters of Maunalua and Ka Iwi.
This Shark Tour operation is in direct line of where many Distance paddlers train and race throughout the paddling season.
The waters of Ka Iwi and Maunalua are part of The Molokai Hoe World Championship Canoe Race, The Na Wahine O Ke Kai World Championship Canoe Race, The Steinlarger Solo OC1 World Championship, The Starbuck Ka Iwi Channel Relay, The Quicksilver Moloka’i to O’ahu Paddleboard Race and The Kanaka Ikaika Canoe Kayak Race.
If you paddle for a canoe club, please wear your club shirt to the meeting.
