Thanks for the clarification O. I hope you are bringing Claire to Molo again this year... my favourite Chalupsky. - jackal Sat, 03 May 2008 05:01:24 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/689/156/#pc_2310 ...is in interpretation. Oscar listed them in the order that he raced them; Jackal interpreted it that Oscar listed them in the order that he rates them. Not so! Face to face, this would have been sorted instantly. I guess this is how wars start! - Rob Mousley Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:29:50 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/689/156/#pc_2309 Yes it is in order. I raced them in this order over my 25 years. 1st time Grant Kenny, Marshall Rosa, Herman then Dean. If you want to extend this list then Clint Robinson, Nathan Bags and Clint Pretorious.

By saying "then" Dean and not "and" Dean it does infer a ranking or order. ;D - superted Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:26:48 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/689/156/#pc_2304 to be fair, the names O mentioned were not a "ranking".. read the post again. he was asked who would be on the list of "Great Molokai Paddlers". - Graeme Trautmann Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:03:10 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/689/156/#pc_2299 Sure Ritchie, It would be great if you could name another sport where a guy has won the world champs 9 times and holds the record gets relegated behind someone who, yes is a legend, but who has never won. As originally stated...clearly ridiculous. - jackal Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:13:32 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/689/156/#pc_2294 "And c'mon O, putting Deano after Herman and Marshall is clearly ridiculous. " It might not be as ridiculous as it sounds. I would venture the guess that all of the past champions of this race have benefited to some degree from Marshall's tremendous knowledge of the channel and the ocean in general. - Ritchie Cunningham Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:58:52 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/689/156/#pc_2288 Actually the race course has changed before; in 1983, when Oscar won in a time of 3:24, the race started at a little harbor at Hale'o Lono a couple of km south of today's start. Just how much that would have added onto the race is hard to say - but it would definitely have made a difference. - Rob Mousley Fri, 25 Apr 2008 11:47:12 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/689/156/#pc_2278 Just to avoid confusion, the record that Dean holds was a Kona Brewery finish line. This is about 1km further than this year's finish, so no records can legitimately be broken as it is a different distance. And c'mon O, putting Deano after Herman and Marshall is clearly ridiculous. Good times ahead :D - jackal Thu, 24 Apr 2008 05:53:01 +0100
