This sounds very odd to me. I go canoeing. I paddle a canoe. Maybe, I even canoe, but I do not paddle canoe.

Doesn't "pinepine" also mean "regularly"? Why was "I regularly paddle canoe" not accepted?

I think that pinepine could describe something that occurs with high but potentially sporadic or random frequency. Whereas ma'amau describes something that occurs at the same frequency e.g. once a day, every first Friday.
