Join us this year for the largest paddling, foiling, sailing race in the world, connecting the watersport communities across the globe in an annual mass-participation campaign: together we can transform lives through our love of the water! Paddle Imua is the flagship annual event to benefit Camp Imua – a summer camp for children with special needs.
Each racer will receive a Paddle Imua race bag, including the official Paddle Imua event t-shirt, Paddle Imua neck gaiter, and assorted event sponsor swag! (domestic & international shipping included.) Register ASAP to ensure you receive your swag before race day (no later than July 1, 2020) so we can ship!

When
Choose when you wish to participate! We encourage you to paddle out with us on one of these dates: July 17, 18, & 19, 2020.
The global response to the ongoing pandemic has forced many in our communities to stay indoors, and for a lot of us, it has reinforced our love of the open water. For children with special needs and their families, the impact of having to remain indoors has been especially difficult. Your participation and sharing of Paddle Imua 2020 will help get these children out of their homes and out to the open air & water. For over 40 years, Camp Imua has helped children with special needs access the outdoors and the open ocean. In no prior year has it been so important for us to support these families.
Over the three days of the event (July 17, 18, 19, 2020) we ask that you paddle, sail, wing, or foil your way along ANY 10-mile course. We encourage you to document your race via GPS, video, or other creative means and upload your information to social media using the hashtags #paddleimua & #ipaddleout. For those of you posting on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, please tag us (@paddleimua)!
