Comments for MOLOKAI ‘08: Bigger, Better, Harder - The Glickman Report at http://www.surfski.info , comment 0 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.surfski.info Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:38:41 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/737/147/#pc_2524 Good work Glick. Really enjoyable read & I think it should be syndicated to paddling magazines all over the planet. Races can try all they want all over the World to challenge this race as the ultimate 1 day paddling exam - but none will ever top it. The Molokai is the one to win if you are a pro and complete if you are fish & chips. That will never change. - Gavin Dickinson Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:15:45 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/737/147/#pc_2523 Nelson DeMile has nothing on Joe Glickman. What an enjoyable read about a truely incredible race and the heroic participants. Congrats to all that made the crossing! - jim hoffman Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:06:57 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/737/147/#pc_2522 It's more than a small oversight not to mention the outstanding performances turned in by Lauren Bartlet, Alexa Cole, Katie Pocock and Maggie Twigg-Smith. Lauren, who finished 35th overall, is a monster in an OC1 but had precious little surf ski experience. (She and her husband Kai have a mantle full of Molo solo OC1 titles.) Lisa Curry-Kenny told me that given Lauren's sublime surf skis and experience as part of the US K4 team that went to Athens in '04, would make her a very hard out at Molokai. I mentioned Katie's undefeated recrod and she told me to watch and see. As usual I was wrong. (In addition, Lauren, who shouted 'Cameltoe' every time she saw Oscar in his skin tight one-piece racing suit, won the insult of the race award.) But huge props to Katie who is an animal in a boat and a great gal on terra firma. Alexa Cole, the most dominant river paddler among the women in SA, showed that she is a future Molo winner as well. She and Katie had a great battle across the channel, finishing within 30 seconds of each other, 53rd and 54th overall. As Billy Harker likes to say: RESPECT! - Joe Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:14:26 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/737/147/#pc_2521 Once again, the Glick outdoes himself with an awesome article! And agreed, no matter what, the Big O will be regarded as a legend of the sport for a long time to come. - Marc Cloete Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:27:15 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/737/147/#pc_2520 Well done 8) on a fantastic article! That shot of Tim Jacobs, is leaning back to get the nose up or is he suffering from a little 'numb' bum there? Why I ask is because I get it bad sometimes, note: I have spoken to the best and they have all had their fair share during their respective careers. - richard von wildemann Wed, 18 Jun 2008 06:40:43 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/737/147/#pc_2517 Joe You have a wonderful artistry of the written word not only a great report on a great race but very enjoyable to read Cheers Tom.B - Tom Balaam Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:36:05 +0100
