Love Love love this. Used to do it in Newport Beach years ago.

Cool! I recently made my first channel crossing, Maui to Lana'i and back, the shortest, most mellow channel in the islands. A voyage, not a race. I cannot imagine paddling Moloka'i to Oahu. And those wipeouts at the start of the women's race were scary to watch. I've been hit by (much smaller) waves, and water has a LOT of weight and power. Very glad (and surprised) that nobody was seriously hurt.

I love this video!

Peter Nieborak He's saying "Hoe pa'a", which means paddle hard. Some people might translate this as "shut up and paddle". See the invaluable ulukau.org/ Hawaiian electronic dictionary for more info.
