About wildwahinepaddler

I have been happily living on Maui for the past twenty-four years. I have been stand up paddling for over five years. I am married to Bob; have three grown children, five grandchildren,( two grandsons and three grand daughters.) I live in Kihei, on the South shore of Maui, right up the street from Kamaole Beach Park I. I paddle from Kam I almost every morning. I love living the island life and I love sharing my paddling adventures! Come join me! Maui No Ka Oi!

Another nice day on Maui!

This morning the skies were bright and the sun was shining.  The storm stayed on the other side of the island, so Kihei didn’t get any rain or lightning this time.  The ocean was not as calm as yesterday, but … Continue reading
