FFA stepped it up a notch and had two escort boats along with support crew. One participant(RO) didn't know he was support crew until after launch.
Special thanks to Ariel, Dawna, Kristy, and Brian. Also special thanks to Kai for his escort and carrying all the oc1s back to Maalaea on Maui.
Camel award goes to Kingi. Kingi managed to paddle 51 miles with only 500ml of water. Oh but he did have a banana.....so he had that going for him.

Sick pics, adventure surf runs. Probably the most spiritual cleansing experience a paddler could enjoy.
