[2026-02-20] The History: Often referred to simply as "Molokai" or the Kaiwi Channel Crossing, this is the holy grail of ocean paddling. Founded in 1976, the race covers an exhausting 53 kilometers (32 miles) from the island of Molokai to Oahu.

It is widely considered the unofficial World Championship of long-distance surfski. >>
