Molokai To Oahu – Race Recap by Connor Baxter

2010-molokai-to-oahu-race-recap-by-connor-baxter-09

Molokai to Oahu – 32 mile Crossing across the Ka’iwi Channel. Before this race I felt so prepared because that week I ate super good, drank lots of water and rested. My mom and I went over to Molokai Friday night on the Ferry to Kaunakakai. Then headed over to the west side and stayed at the condos right where the event was. I slept in on Saturday and then went for a swim – I basically had a super relaxing day. Around 5:00 the race meeting started and then I had a huge dinner and went back to the room – and went right to bed to get a good night sleep.

Garmin Partners with Prestigious Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard Race

Famous GPS Will Prove that 32-Mile Channel Isn’t Always 32 Miles Across!

Todd Bradley to Host GPS & Finish Line Clinic, Wednesday July 21

With more Molokai Channel crossings to his name than years on Earth, you could be excused for thinking that Todd Bradley could paddle the Molokai2Oahu paddleboard race blind-folded; 2010 will be his 53rd crossing at 50 years of age. But through all his seafaring, Bradley has learned two things when it comes to the ocean: No two days are the same; and the Molokai Channel isn’t always 32 miles across!  Continue reading ‘Garmin Partners with Prestigious Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard Race’

Race Recap – The 32nd annual Hui O He’e Nalu Independence Day Race

It was a beautiful day for Da Hui’s annual 4th of July race. Here’s a recap from Robert Stehlik from Blue Planet Surf.

da-hui-independence-day-race-2010-07

Going to the beautiful North Shore on Independence day for the Hui race has become somewhat of a tradition for our family. With clear water, blue skies and light tradewinds, the North Shore once again served up a beautiful day for the most popular paddleboard/ SUP race on Oahu (with the exception of this year’s Battle of the Paddle). The race results show a total of 478 finishers with of which 309 were stand up paddlers, an impressive turnout. The wind was very light in Honolulu but when we got closer to the start at Sunset beach, there were whitecaps and conditions looked good. The crew from Da Hui once again put together a great event.
