I don't have a GPS, but from the bridge to blinker buoy is over a mile, then what we use is 8 miles as does the Ikaika association, so my answer is 9. But that is from the bridge.

I seem to remember that it was in the neighborhood of 8.2 +/- miles.

Around 8 miles.

i guess i was going slower than i thought. stock paddleboard from the beach near the bridge to the sand at kaimana was 2 hours.

google has a distance mapper... you can do map feature or satellite feature and zoom in there to get a real accurate reading...it's real good to map out workouts
unfortunately, the area around kokohead is blanked out in the satellite zoom function (must be something military around there), so you have to start off on the map function and as you go toward aina haina, the satellite shows up again, so you can see the reefs off wailupe, diamond head, etc... end at kaimana- you can see the war memorial. it comes out at 8.03 miles, but depending on how far you go out... you check it out.

On a good day on a one man it shouldn't take more than about an hour, but I usually start timing at the blinker buoy. A lot depends on wind, waves and current, you know, the usual stuff.

not sure about the distance, but the fastest run i did on a stock board was 1:19 from the blinker to Kai Mana. I think that run is about 8 miles or so when I used a Garmin forerunner to track things. Unfortunately my forerunner got lost and took all my data to the bottom of the ocean...
like people said above, alot depends on the line you take. Generally I went as close to the breaks at diamond head as possible, and for the most part, straight to black point.
