Howsit folks So here we are? Three days out from the start of the most famous surf ski race on the planet the Molokai! I was very privileged to be able to compete in the 2007 edition and what an experience it was, apparently one of the toughest ever due to the extended finish section! Which added an extra 10 or so kilometres? (By the way, I admit, I sat in the seat of my ski for 7 hours and 4 seconds!) Lewis Laughlin came home to victory deservedly so after 10 straight years of trying, he was waiting for those conditions and absolutely thrived in them to out smart the two hot shot SA Boys Dawid and Hank! Though this year I believe they will have the takings of the pack and will dice it out over the last 5 kilometres into Hawaii Kai, maybe even as close as Dubai? One thing is for sure the race will be the most competitive yet! Good luck to all competitors, I hope you guys and girls enjoy it as much as I did even if you are in pain mid channel and cannot feel your legs or butt! Big thanks to Alain and Rob for this website which has brought so much to our beautiful sport and which has lifted the ‘game’ not only of the paddlers, but also sponsorship and public interest globally! Well done guys, enjoy the “break” in Hawaii. I cannot wait for Sunday evening! Regards Richard
