Molokai Race this weekend

I'm tipping Angie and Jas to win the female team title.

who else is doing the teams? mens? womens? be good to know who to look out for.

luck favours the prepared.....safe journey to all

I wasn't really going out on a limb there Lacey, they are the only registered female team.

But I do hope they all do well, for mine they are winners just getting out there... it's a long bloody race.

Connor, Billy Watson and Dave Kalama is my pick to take top three spots , not in that order, but to be top 3 in Solo

How good would it be for Jamie, Billy, Phill, Woogie/Jacko, Ang/Jas to all win their respective divisions. It's possible...

Any results?

Just spoke with Danny (AEST 7.20am) who is escorting his paddleboarder mate. They are 3 mile from Coco Head. He believes Dave Kalama is way ahead. Scott Gamble 2nd and Billy Watson may be currently 4th. He did not mention Ekolu unless he was 3rd or on a different line.

He said that Todd Bradley and son Christian were leading the SUP Teams. Greg Pavao and team mate Nolan were 2nd.

He said Jamie Mitchell was leading the paddleboard.

Said the conditions were now "rough as *hit"...due to the back wash off Coco Head. They were on a pretty straight line to Portlock and there were alot of crews way way North. Said that even though the tide was apparently going in (North to South), that they were now pushing alot of tide coming from the South.

Found this Live Stream link on Facebook for all you Power Balance Fans !! They are on board with Ekolu Kalama and only upload every hour or so. But it gives you some idea of the conditions.

Where are you finding the results?

Awesome job Jamie! Any news on Jacko and Woogie and the girls, Billy etc? Looked like it would've been horrible around Coco Head, backwash on the sup, after all those K's, ouch!

Great job to all of those guys and girls for getting over there and having a crack at it. That Channel is a special place, 500m deep in the middle and the deepest blue imagineable.

It looks like Dave Kalama first.. Ekolu Kalama second.. Scott ? third.. Michi (Naish) fourth and Connor coming in fifth.. then Livio.

Looks like Dave was on the Glide 17 and Michi looks like he used the Glide 14.. Great effort if he did.

Andrea Moeller 1st woman to finish.
