February/March 2026 Issue

Connection looks different in every season — sometimes it’s a mother and daughter huddled close before a match.

In our February/March issue of Hawaii Pickleball Magazine, we feature Asako Pastrana’s story of motherhood, culture, and choosing to keep becoming — while also exploring the deep and growing bond between Hawai‘i and Japan through the game we love.

This issue is rooted in togetherness — across families, across oceans, and across the kitchen line.

• Asako Pastrana — In This Together: A story of motherhood, ambition, and honoring both family and culture
