2. Paddler Profile: Alexa Cole
(Info/Paddler Profiles)

Author : Rob Mousley
A couple of weeks ago, in the latter stages of a Millers Run, I was beginning to relax as I approached the entrance to Fish Hoek bay when a shape appeared from behind in a burst of spray - I took violent avoiding action as Alexa Lombard came storming down the face of a wave, almost taking off the nose of my ski.  Galvanized into action, I ma...

3. Paddler Interview: Barry Lewin
(Info/Paddler Profiles)

Author : Rob Mousley
At 25, Barry Lewin is one of the younger surf ski paddlers on the circuit.  He's had a pretty good season - 4th in San Francisco; 9th in Dubai; 8th in Perth; and 3rd in Plett behind Dawid Mocke and Hank McGregor.  It's a fair bet then that he'll be in the top ten at Molokai - and he's hungry for more.

...n quickly emerges. I try to keep up, find it challenging to breathe, back off a bit, and then the World Series number three-ranked paddler vanishes into the distance.  He's always there when I finish but he's already showered, changed, packed up and is ready to go. ......

7. Paddler Interview - Martin Kenny
(Info/Paddler Profiles)

Author : Rob Mousley
With 14 Molokai crossings to his credit, 39 year old Australian Martin Kenny is clearly one of the "old men of the sea" when it comes to this race.  His brother Grant Kenny won the race four consecutive times - from 1979 to 1982 - and then again in 1990. Marty shared some insights with us about his experiences over the years ...

8. Paddler Interview - Oscar Chalupsky
(Info/Paddler Profiles)

Author : Rob Mousley
Oscar Chalupsky won his first Molokai when he was 20 years old, back in 1983 and has won another 10 of them since then...  At age 45 he's still going strong and, given the right conditions (i.e. strong downwind) he's still got to be one of the favorites to win the race.

May 18th, 2008 will see DeAnne Hemmens competing in the Molokai World Championships for the fifth time.  I wrote to her husband Patrick to get some insider information on this avid ski paddler.  This is what he told me...
