MOLOKAI HOE

The Molokai Hoe is a 41-mile open ocean race that launches from Hale O Lono Harbor on Molokai and ends at Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki, Oahu. Watch as Lanikai Men defend their title against crews from Tahiti, Japan, Singapore, Italy, Australia, California and Hawaii.

This year marks the 55th crossing of the Ka 'iwi Channel, which separates the islands of Oahu and Molokai. The Ka 'iwi Channel has been touted, at times, as one of the most treacherous spans of ocean in the world.
