Maui Jim

Ocean Shootout

The Maui Jim Ocean Shootout presented by Maui Jim
Sunglasses is a unique two-day ocean event comprised
of 10 individual sprint races and 2 co-ed relay races in
multi-disciplined events. Sprint races (~5-7 min each)
took place in the waters of Ka'anapali Beach fronting the
Ka'anapali Beach Hotel on June 3&4, 2017. Participants
competed in a series of individual races culminating in
points over the two days for a $50,000 prize purse, the
largest in the world of its kind.
Throughout the Ocean Shootout, teams and individuals
competed in a wide range of international and Hawaiianstyle competitive ocean sports, including sprint races in
five major disciplines: surf-ski, OC-1, SUP, paddleboard
and swimming.

A record number of over 100 participants tested their
skills and challenged themselves in a series of individual
races accumulating points over the two-days in their
respective divisions. The Maui Jim Ocean Shootout is
both a sprint and endurance race built into one event.
Each of the 10 races are short distance sprints, but
collectively by the end of each day, the participants
needed to dig down to find their endurance to place well
in the overall rankings.
This year again included the Team division and medley
relays. Each competitor's individual accrued points over
the weekend was applied toward their Team points
that was tracked throughout the competition. Top three
teams earned prizes, and an Overall Waterman and
Waterwoman was crowned after the Waterman
Challenge final race.

With a deep heritage rooted in its home of Maui, the
brand is proud to donate all event proceeds to five
local charities including: Hale Makua Health Services,
Imua Family Services, Women Helping Women, Maui
Arts and Cultural Center, and the Maui County Junior
Lifeguard Program.

Shootout set for Sat/Sun June 2&3, 2018 fronting the
