I just noticed someone setup GPS live tracking of athletes racing in the Durban Surfski World Cup 2008 on the website: http://spectator.sport-track.com/spec/start.php?id=5601&raceid=9221
By the time you read this, the race will prbs be over. I don't know if anyone else saw this as the race was taking place tonight, Hawaii time but here is a screenshot of the live web tracking of race participants and the time gap between the leader and the rest of the participants.
I don't know if this has been done for the Moloka'i Hoe or the na Wahine o ke Kai, but it would be a nice tool to have for the live coverage!

The South African surfski scene seems to be highly organized. I believe that some of the races pull upwards of 500 surfskis.
